Perhaps your dentist recently told you, “You need a root canal.” If you feel anxious about it, we understand. Many people do. The great news is that root canals are not what they used to be thanks to advanced technology and innovative techniques that offer endodontic treatment that is both more effective and more comfortable than traditional root canal therapy. At Cragun Endodontics, we take pride in showing you how positive this experience can be.

Our Mission is Simple:

To provide you with the finest quality root canal treatment available and at the same time, change the way root canal treatment is perceived one patient at a time.

We offer comprehensive endodontic services to the residents in and around Frisco, TX, including the following: 

Endodontics - Endodontics is a dental specialty that involves handling complex tooth concerns that affect the areas deep inside of a tooth. Using the best technology and the most advanced endodontics procedures, teeth can avoid extraction. 

Root Canals - Sometimes the decay and infection within a tooth reaches too deep for a filling and requires something more. A root canal removes the inflamed pulp and all the roots are cleaned and treated before the tooth is re-sealed and left to heal. 

Root Canal Retreatment - If the infection is significant and didn’t fully clear or if new decay forms near the tooth, a root canal may need to be repeated in order to re-treat the tooth. The procedure itself is nearly identical to the initial root canal. 

Endodontic or Apical Surgery - Endodontic surgery is often used for a variety of reasons. It allows your endodontist to get a close look at the entire root of your tooth to determine the problem and then find the right solution for treatment. 

Apical surgery, also known as an apicoectomy, is done when a root canal wasn’t successful in treating the infection. This surgery removes a portion of the root tip and then seals the root canal. 

Cracked Teeth - Cracked teeth can happen when you bite down on something hard, due to an injury, wear and tear with age, or even due to a large filling that has compromised the tooth’s integrity. You never want to ignore a cracked tooth, rather prompt treatment is advised. If you feel pain, the crack could be affecting the pulp - and that is a dental emergency.  

Dental Trauma - Dental trauma is never expected, but it can happen. And it can leave the pulp of your tooth very vulnerable. Sports injuries, car accidents, and other ways in which dental trauma happens can leave the patient with a combination of cracks, chips, fractures, avulsed (or knocked out) teeth, and more. We work to restore the health and function of the tooth or teeth impacted. 

Emergency Dentistry - Severe pain or discomfort, bleeding, exposed roots, knocked out teeth, swelling that won’t dissipate are just a few of the reasons that are considered a dental emergency. If you feel that you need to be seen right away, then contact our office immediately. 

Digital Dentistry - As technology advances and improves, we incorporate it into our practice so that you may reap the benefits. Digital dentistry involves the use of a cone-beam 3D scanner, digital x-rays, microscopes, intraoral cameras, and an apex locator. We are always looking for ways to further use digital tools in the way we do dentistry. 

Regenerative Endodontics - Fairly new, regenerative endodontics includes procedures that are designed to replace the damaged areas of a tooth, such as root structures, as a means to allow the pulp to gain normal functionality.

When you choose Cragun Endodontics, you choose excellence - and an answer to what you’ve been looking for.
