Endodontic Dental Care
Root Focused Dental Treatment
Endodontic care focuses on treating deeper tooth problems that affect the inside of the tooth, known as the pulp. When the pulp or root of a tooth becomes damaged or infected, specialized treatment can help relieve pain and save the natural tooth. Our dentists use advanced techniques to carefully treat the affected areas and restore your oral health and comfort.
Root Canal, Root Canal Therapy, & Endodontics
In order to save your natural tooth, a root canal may be necessary once the “pulp layer” becomes infected. Root-canal therapy removes dead tissue from within the center of the tooth and reinforces the internal structure with a filling material.
Root-canal therapy is also known as endodontic therapy, which is a dental treatment for removing infection from inside a tooth. Endodontic root therapy can protect the tooth from future infections, and help restore the pulp of the tooth, known as the root canal.
Laser Assisted Scaling and Root Planning (SRP)
This safe procedure is a deep cleaning treatment that inhibits gum disease from further progressing. First, we will scrape away any tartar deposits from tooth surfaces (scaling), and then smooth out any uneven areas of the roots (planning). Due to the implementation of high-technology lasers in our practice, we can perform this procedure comfortably and effectively.
Periodontal Therapy
A full mouth regeneration treatment plan may be recommended when several areas of your mouth need care or restoration. This may include concerns such as bone loss, damaged teeth, or missing teeth. By combining multiple treatments into one comprehensive plan, we can safely restore the health, function, and appearance of your smile.
Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal maintenance is often recommended for patients who have previously been treated for periodontal disease. These regular visits include detailed cleanings and check ups that allow us to closely monitor your oral health and keep your gums healthy. Ongoing maintenance helps prevent the return of gum disease and reduces the risk of long term damage. For patients with dental implants, periodontal maintenance also plays an important role in protecting implant health and supporting long lasting results.

At KP Dentistry, our airway dental specialists seek to address the airway structure problems using oral appliances, orthodontics, and other minimally invasive dental treatments.
