Endodontist in Aiea: Specialist Root Canal Care at Westridge Shopping Center
Our Aiea office is in the Westridge Shopping Center at 98-150 Kaonohi St, Suite C-120, Aiea, HI 96701. It is a convenient central Oahu option for patients who need a tooth evaluated or treated by an endodontist. Endodontics is the dental specialty focused on the pulp inside the tooth and the tissues around the root. Endodontists complete additional post-graduate training after dental school.
What we treat in Aiea
Root canal therapy. If the pulp inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal can remove the damaged tissue and seal the canals so the natural tooth can be kept. Reasons a tooth may need treatment include deep decay, cracks or broken fillings, and injury. Symptoms can include prolonged sensitivity to temperature, pain when biting, gum swelling near a tooth, or discoloration, though some cases have no symptoms at all. Root Canal Therapy
Endodontic retreatment. A previously treated tooth may fail to heal as expected or develop a new problem years later. Retreatment removes the existing root canal filling, cleans the canals again, and reseals them, which is often a way to keep the tooth. Endodontic Retreatment
Endodontic surgery. For some teeth, a surgical procedure such as an apicoectomy is the best way to address a problem near the root tip. Your endodontist will explain whether surgery is appropriate and why. Endodontic Surgery Apicoectomy
Our team also evaluates Cracked Teeth, Traumatic Injuries, and Tooth Pain that is hard to diagnose.
Working with your general dentist
Many of our Aiea patients are referred by their family dentist. After endodontic treatment, you return to your dentist for the permanent crown or filling, and we keep them informed along the way. Dental offices can use our Referring Dentists page.
