Perforation Repair in Daphne, AL

A tooth perforation (sometimes called a root perforation or pulpal floor perforation, depending on where it occurs) is a hole that opens up in the root or crown of a tooth, exposing it to the risk of breaking and infection. Perforation repair in endodontics involves disinfecting the tooth and resealing it, creating a stronger, healthier smile. At Eastern Shore Endodontics, Dr. Tres Manasco specializes in a variety of tooth root procedures, including root canals and perforation repair for patients in Daphne, AL. Our team proudly works with patients to create personalized endodontic treatment plans, focusing on each person's comfort and safety above all. If you're dealing with symptoms of pulpal floor perforation, including pain, swelling, or infection, schedule a consultation to discover how we can help.

Dr. Manasco will start your perforation repair by accessing the area and cleaning out any signs of infection. After that, he'll seal the tooth to prevent bacteria from getting inside and infecting the pulp. In some cases, he may finish by placing a crown to strengthen the tooth. Perforation repair usually takes 1 – 2 hours, and you should experience relatively little discomfort. Afterward, you'll be able to get back to your routine right away, but you should take care to avoid chewing on that tooth until it's fully restored.

Tooth perforation repair offers several important benefits, especially when it comes to saving a tooth that might otherwise be lost. Some of the key benefits of this treatment include:

  • Reduces the risk of oral health complications
  • Prevents the spread of infection
  • Restores your ability to chew in comfort
  • Provides a minimally invasive option for dental restoration

Dr. Manasco and his dental assistant Ashley, did an outstanding job on my root canal, they were both very patient and communicated with me during the whole procedure on how long stuff would take and what they were doing, really put me at ease. Dr. Menasco even called later in the day to personally see how I was feeling. I would highly recommend anyone needing dental work to use Dr. Manasco.

Really great experience. They worked me in when I was having an urgent issue, the staff was very pleasant, and Dr. Manasco was kind, thorough, and took time to discuss everything. While I didn’t end up needing any procedures done there, I would not hesitate to go back and trust them with my care.

Will the repaired tooth look different?

No, the repair is internal, so the external appearance of your tooth remains unchanged.

How can I prevent dental perforation?

Choose experienced dental professionals, maintain good oral hygiene, and address cavities or dental issues early to reduce the risk of perforations.

Can a perforation heal on its own?

Unfortunately, dental perforations do not heal naturally and must be repaired professionally to prevent complications.

If you've suffered a complication after root canal therapy, perforation repair may be necessary to rebuild your tooth to a functional state and prevent future infections. Dr. Manasco performs this intricate procedure for patients in and around the Daphne, AL area, ensuring healthier, stronger smiles for our patients.
