Saving Your Natural Teeth with Advanced Endodontic Care
When a tooth becomes infected or severely decayed, endodontic treatment can save it from extraction. At Hill Family Dental in Orem, UT, we specialize in advanced endodontic procedures to relieve pain and restore your natural teeth.
What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics focuses on diagnosing and treating issues within the tooth’s pulp and roots. The most common procedure, root canal therapy, removes infection from inside the tooth, preventing further damage and preserving its function.
