Endodontic Dentistry

Endodontics is the dental specialty focused on the tooth's inner soft tissue (the pulp) and the tissues around the tooth roots, with the main goal of saving natural teeth from extraction. As a dentist, Dr. Duong diagnoses and treats issues like deep decay, infections, or injuries inside the tooth, most commonly performing root canal therapy to remove infected pulp and seal the inside.  Here are examples of endodontic procedures that we offer:

Diagnosis: Identifying the cause of tooth pain, which could be from decay, trauma, or abscesses, often using advanced imaging. 

Root Canal Therapy: The most common procedure, involving cleaning out the infected or inflamed pulp, shaping the inside, and filling it with a biocompatible material. 

Trauma Treatment: Saving teeth after dental injuries, such as fractures or displacement.
