Root canal treatment for abscessed teeth is a procedure that cleans out the diseased tissue from the center of a tooth. Once the infection is cured, the cavity is filled, and the tooth sealed back up, avoiding the need for extraction and replacement. Routinely performed by endodontic specialists, root canal treatment is a safe and painless way to save a natural tooth. Classic Smiles works directly with specialty offices, facilitating these procedures for every patient that needs one.
The third molars, also known as wisdom teeth, come through in the late teens or early twenties. When there isn’t enough room left in the jaw, they end up impacted against other teeth. Growing at an angle, wisdom teeth can cause various dental problems. Extraction of impacted wisdom teeth is a complex intervention performed by trained oral surgeons. Classic Smiles works directly with specialty offices, facilitating these procedures for every patient that needs one.
After a tooth is extracted, there are many ways to fill the resulting gap. Bridges are one, but they require adjacent healthy teeth to anchor to. When none are available, implants are the answer. Small metal posts inserted and left to fuse with it; the portion reaching above the gums can be capped to replace the missing tooth. Dental implantation is a surgical intervention requiring specialist attention. Classic Smiles works directly with specialty offices, facilitating these procedures for every patient that needs one.
