With a root canal, your dentist can take care of a cavity that has led to bacteria infecting the living tissue of your tooth. By removing infected tissue, and providing support, your dentist can keep you from losing the tooth. A root canal will call for the placement of a dental crown. If you are worried that a crown in a more visible area will have a distracting effect on your smile, porcelain or ceramic can be used to make a restoration that will blend in and avoids detection.
If a cavity does enough damage, your dentist may have no choice other than to extract it. Your dentist will supply you with the appropriate sedative, to help you stay relaxed, and avoid discomfort. You will be given instructions on proper care after the extraction takes place.
Cavities that go untreated can pose a serious threat to your smile. At Pecan Tree Dental, Dr. Quinn Smith offers advanced care for serious cavities, in order to protect your oral health. In addition to dealing with the infection, you can be supplied with a restoration that supports your tooth, and preserves your appearance. You can arrange for an appointment with Dr. Smith by contacting us at (972) 262-5111. We are proud to provide care for the residents of Grand Prairie, as well as surrounding areas including Arlington, South Dallas, Cedar Hill, and Duncanville.
