Whether you are dealing with tooth pain, a cracked tooth, or a dental injury, our team takes the time to explain your options and help you feel comfortable every step of the way.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy treats an infected tooth by removing damaged pulp tissue and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection. This procedure relieves pain and helps you keep your natural tooth rather than losing it to extraction. If you are looking for care for an infected tooth in the Spokane area, our team is here to help you find relief in a calm, supportive setting.

Endodontic Retreatment

Sometimes a tooth that has already had a root canal needs additional care to heal properly. Endodontic retreatment addresses new decay, a cracked filling, or an infection that returns after the first treatment. We carefully evaluate the tooth and recommend retreatment when it offers the best chance to save your natural tooth.

Apicoectomy

An apicoectomy is a minor surgical procedure that treats infection at the very tip of a tooth’s root when root canal therapy or retreatment is not enough on its own. During this procedure, we remove the infected tissue and seal the root to support healing. This option allows many patients to keep a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed.

Cracked Teeth

A cracked tooth can range from a minor surface line to a fracture that reaches the tooth’s inner pulp. We examine the crack closely to determine the safest and most effective treatment, which may include root canal therapy to protect the tooth from further damage. Catching a cracked tooth early gives you the best chance of avoiding more involved treatment later on.

Laser Endodontic Treatment

Laser endodontic treatment allows Dr. Ellingsen and Dr. Denison to clean and disinfect the inside of a tooth with precision. This approach is designed to support a smoother experience during root canal therapy and retreatment. We use this technology because it helps us provide effective, thorough care while keeping your comfort in mind.

Traumatic Dental Injuries

Traumatic dental injuries, such as a knocked-out tooth or a tooth pushed out of place, need prompt attention to give the tooth the best chance of survival. Our team evaluates the injury and provides the endodontic care needed to protect the tooth’s long-term health. If you or a family member experiences a dental injury in the Spokane area, please contact our office right away.
