How Dr. McKissock and Dr. Kersten Treat Recurrent Infection
What Is Endodontic Microsurgery?
In some cases, root canal therapy isn’t enough, and surgery is needed. It may be used to diagnose the problem or to remove calcium deposits that get in the way of root canal treatment. For instances where a past root canal treatment has failed—potentially years after the initial procedure—microsurgery can save the tooth.
The Tools That Make Microsurgery Possible
Dr. McKissock and Dr. Kersten use very specialized equipment to perform microsurgery at Elevation Endodontics. This includes magnification tools for better visualization of the root end and various surgical instruments to work on the affected area. From curettes that remove diseased hard and soft tissue to probes and explorers that measure and access problematic areas and pluggers and burnishers that place fillings and complete the procedure, our team is prepared to provide the highest level of care.
