What is Endodontics?

Endodontics focuses on the health and treatment of the dental pulp—the inner tissue of your teeth—and the surrounding structures. With expert care, many teeth that would otherwise need extraction can be saved, providing you with a lifetime of natural smiles. At Lombardo & Cho Dentistry, our skilled endodontist employs the latest techniques to ensure comfort and successful outcomes.

Our Endodontic Services in Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree

Lombardo & Cho Dentistry offers a full spectrum of endodontic treatments tailored to meet your unique needs. Here’s a closer look at the services we provide:

Root Canal Therapy: The Gold Standard in Tooth Preservation

Root canal therapy is a highly effective procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue, cleans and disinfects the root canal, and seals the space to prevent future infections. This treatment can relieve pain and save your natural tooth from extraction.

Root Canal Retreatment: A Second Chance for Your Tooth

If a previous root canal has failed or complications have arisen, root canal retreatment may be necessary. Our endodontists carefully assess the issue and utilize advanced tools to give your tooth a renewed chance at health.

Apicoectomy: Precision Microsurgery for Persistent Issues

An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the tip of a tooth’s root and any surrounding infection. This treatment is typically recommended when standard root canal therapy isn’t enough to resolve the issue.

Cracked Teeth Treatment: Preventing Further Damage

Cracks in teeth can lead to pain, sensitivity, and infection. Our endodontic team offers tailored treatments to address these issues, helping to prevent further damage and restore teeth’s integrity.

Internal Bleaching: Brighten Your Smile from Within

Internal bleaching can benefit teeth that have darkened due to trauma or previous dental procedures. This specialized treatment targets discoloration from within the tooth, leaving you with a brighter, more confident smile.

Pulp Regeneration: Revolutionary Treatment for Young Patients

Pulp regeneration is an innovative technique designed to encourage the growth of new, healthy pulp tissue in teeth with immature roots. This treatment primarily benefits children and young adults, allowing them to preserve their natural teeth.

Root Resorption Treatment: Addressing a Complex Issue

Root resorption occurs when the body mistakenly begins to break down a tooth’s root structure. Your endodontist in Yucca Valley provides effective solutions to halt the resorption process and preserve your tooth.

Post and Core Placement: Building a Strong Foundation

Some teeth may require additional structural support following root canal therapy. A post-and-core restoration reinforces the tooth’s stability, creating a solid base for crowns or other restorations.

Treatment for Traumatic Injuries: Restoring Your Smile

Dental trauma can result in cracked, displaced, or avulsed (knocked-out) teeth. Our endodontists are experts in handling these emergencies, providing immediate and long-term care to restore function and aesthetics.

Vital Pulp Therapy: A Conservative Approach

Vital pulp therapy aims to save and heal inflamed pulp tissue rather than removing it entirely. This treatment is ideal for patients with partially damaged teeth and helps to preserve the tooth’s vitality.
