Find the source of symptoms
Symptoms, clinical tests, and any necessary X-rays help distinguish decay, pulp inflammation, cracks, gum problems, and bite-related pain.
RESTORATIVE & ENDODONTIC CARE
Fillings, broken teeth, and root canal care
For cavities, sensitivity, a fractured tooth, or toothache, the first step is to identify the source before discussing a filling, root canal treatment, or protective restoration.
ASSESSMENT FIRST
Treatment depends on what the examination shows
Preserve usable tooth structure
Some cavities can be restored with a filling. Infection or loss of vitality inside the tooth may require root canal treatment.
Restore strength and function
Teeth with major loss of structure may need an onlay, crown, or another restoration after initial treatment.
Facial swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing, or difficulty breathing can require urgent medical attention. Do not rely on website information in an emergency.
FAQ
Common questions

No. Sensitivity, decay, cracks, gums, and bite issues can all cause pain. An examination is needed.
How many appointments are needed?
The number varies with the tooth, infection, anatomy, and response to treatment. We explain the expected schedule after assessment.
Why might I need a crown afterwards?
Some teeth have lost substantial structure and need additional protection. The decision depends on the remaining tooth and bite forces.
