Treatments

All Ages

At Branton Endodontics, we provide specialized endodontic care for patients of all ages. Whether treating a young patient experiencing dental trauma or helping an adult preserve a natural tooth affected by infection, Dr. Branton carefully tailors each treatment plan to the individual’s needs with precision and compassion.

Our goal is always the same: to relieve discomfort, preserve natural teeth whenever possible, and create a calm, supportive experience for every patient. From adolescents to seniors, we are committed to delivering expert care that supports long-term oral health and confidence.

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal therapy is a comfortable, highly effective procedure designed to relieve pain and save your natural tooth. During treatment, Dr. Branton carefully removes infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. The canal system is then thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sealed with a biocompatible material to protect the tooth and support long-term health.

Many root canal treatments at Branton Endodontics can be completed in a single visit. In cases involving significant infection or added complexity, Dr. Branton may recommend a second appointment to ensure complete disinfection and the best possible long-term outcome.

Root Canal Retreatment

In some cases, a tooth that has previously had root canal therapy may not heal as expected or can develop a new infection over time. Root canal retreatment allows Dr. Branton to carefully reopen the tooth, remove the previous filling material, and thoroughly clean and disinfect the canal system to address the source of the problem.

After the canals are cleaned and evaluated, the tooth is resealed to help restore health and function. Dr. Branton’s goal is to preserve your natural tooth whenever possible while providing a comfortable experience and long-lasting results.

Apicoectomy

An apicoectomy is a minor microsurgical procedure recommended when root canal therapy alone cannot fully resolve an infection. During this treatment, Dr. Branton gently lifts the gum tissue near the affected tooth, removes any inflamed or infected tissue, and carefully seals the tip of the root to help prevent future concerns.

This precise surgical approach allows us to preserve your natural tooth while restoring comfort and function. Our goal is to provide a smooth, comfortable experience so you can return to biting and chewing with confidence.

Dental Trauma

Dental injuries can happen unexpectedly and often require prompt, specialized care to protect the long-term health of your tooth. Whether caused by sports, accidents, or other impacts, dental trauma can affect the tooth’s nerve, root, or surrounding tissues. Dr. Branton carefully evaluates each case to determine the most effective treatment and help preserve the natural tooth whenever possible.

Our goal is to relieve discomfort, prevent further complications, and restore both function and comfort. With timely endodontic care and a patient-focused approach, we work to help patients recover quickly and confidently after dental trauma.

Cracked Teeth

A cracked tooth can cause discomfort, sensitivity, or pain when biting and may allow bacteria to reach the inner pulp of the tooth. Because cracks can vary in size and depth, careful evaluation is essential to determine the best course of treatment. Dr. Branton uses advanced diagnostic techniques to identify the source of the problem and recommend the most effective solution.

When appropriate, endodontic treatment can help preserve the natural tooth, relieve pain, and prevent further damage. Our goal is to restore comfort and function while helping you maintain a healthy, lasting smile.

Vital Pulp Therapy

Vital pulp therapy is designed to treat an injured or inflamed pulp early, often before a full root canal becomes necessary. By preserving healthy tissue inside the tooth, this conservative approach helps maintain the tooth’s natural vitality and long-term health.

During treatment, Dr. Branton carefully removes the affected portion of the pulp, disinfects the area, and places a protective bioceramic material to support healing. This approach can reduce sensitivity, relieve discomfort, and help keep the tooth alive whenever possible.

Internal Bleaching

Internal bleaching is a specialized treatment used to brighten a tooth that has darkened from the inside, often following trauma or previous root canal therapy. Because the discoloration originates within the tooth, traditional whitening methods are not effective. Dr. Branton carefully places a whitening material inside the tooth to safely and gradually improve its appearance.

This conservative treatment helps restore a more natural, even smile while preserving your existing tooth structure. Our goal is to achieve a predictable cosmetic result in a comfortable and minimally invasive way.

Advanced Technology

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) 3D imaging allows Dr. Branton to view teeth, roots, and surrounding structures with exceptional clarity and detail. This advanced technology provides a three-dimensional view that helps identify complex anatomy, hidden infections, fractures, and other concerns that may not be visible on traditional X-rays. By using CBCT imaging, we can diagnose more accurately, plan treatment with greater precision, and provide safer, more predictable outcomes for our patients.

Our state-of-the-art endodontic microscope with 4K capability allows Dr. Branton to see the finest details inside the tooth with exceptional clarity. This advanced magnification and illumination technology improves visualization of complex canal anatomy, hidden fractures, and areas of infection that may otherwise be difficult to detect. By enhancing precision during diagnosis and treatment, the microscope supports more thorough care, improved outcomes, and a higher level of confidence for both doctor and patient.
