  • An infected or injured tooth that may be preserved

  • Advanced periodontal disease or supporting-bone loss

  • A painful or abnormal bite

  • Crooked or displaced teeth causing tissue contact

  • A retained baby tooth affecting alignment

  • An opening between the mouth and nasal cavity

  • An oral mass or suspected tumor

  • A jaw injury or temporomandibular joint problem

  • A need for a complex dental second opinion

Advanced dental and oral procedures

The doctor will determine whether an advanced procedure, extraction, additional diagnostics or

another treatment should be considered.

Endodontics and root-canal treatment

Endodontics addresses disease or injury affecting the pulp inside a tooth. When a strategically important tooth is fractured, inflamed or infected, root-canal treatment may provide an alternative to extraction.
