What to Expect After a Referral
We believe strong communication is an important part of successful collaborative care. After evaluating and treating your patient, we provide relevant updates and treatment information so your office understands what was completed and what may be needed next. Our goal is to make the transition back to your practice straightforward while supporting continuity of care. Prime Endodontics is committed to efficient communication with referring dentists and coordinated treatment focused on achieving the best possible outcome for each patient.
Procedures We Perform
- Root Canal Treatment: We provide advanced root canal therapy to relieve pain, treat infection, and preserve natural teeth whenever possible. Every case is evaluated with 3D CBCT imaging to support diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Endodontic Retreatment: When a previously treated tooth develops persistent or new problems, we provide specialized retreatment to address the underlying condition and help preserve the tooth.
- Apicoectomy: Root-end surgery may be recommended when conventional root canal treatment or retreatment is not enough to resolve inflammation or infection around the root tip.
- Cracked Tooth Treatment: We diagnose and treat cracked or fractured teeth using advanced imaging and endodontic evaluation to determine whether the tooth can be preserved.
- Dental Trauma Management: We evaluate and treat teeth affected by accidents, sports injuries, and other forms of dental trauma, including cases requiring urgent specialty care.
- Intentional Reimplantation: This specialized procedure involves carefully removing a tooth, treating it outside the mouth, and returning it to its original socket when conventional treatment options are limited.
- Resorption Repair: We provide treatment for internal and external root resorption with the goal of stopping the disease process and preserving the affected tooth whenever possible.
- Pulpotomy and Pulpectomy: These procedures may be used to manage inflamed or infected pulp tissue in urgent or specialized endodontic situations.
- Internal Bleaching: We offer single-tooth internal bleaching for certain teeth that have become discolored from within.
- Sedation Dentistry: Nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation are available for appropriate patients who may benefit from additional help feeling relaxed during treatment.
