Refer complex endodontic cases to specialist care focused exclusively on treatment inside the tooth. Our approach to an endodontist referral in the Hills District is straightforward: we assess and manage the endodontic component of care and communicate with you throughout the process. Once treatment is complete, your patient returns to your practice for ongoing care and restorative treatment.
Previously treated teeth with persistent infection or unresolved apical pathology may require retreatment. We reassess the existing root canal treatment and determine whether further endodontic intervention is indicated as part of a complex root canal referral.
Cracked teeth may require endodontic assessment where the crack extends into the pulp or affects the root. We assess the extent of the crack and pulpal involvement to determine whether endodontic treatment is appropriate.
Root end surgery may be indicated where apical pathology persists following root canal treatment or retreatment. The procedure provides surgical access to the root apex to address the affected area.
Internal or external tooth resorption can compromise the root structure and requires assessment of the location and extent of the resorptive defect. A complex root canal referral may be appropriate where the resorption involves the root canal system.
Surgical endodontics may be considered where persistent periapical pathology cannot be resolved through conventional root canal treatment or retreatment. We assess the affected tooth and determine whether surgical intervention is indicated.
