With decades of experience and a commitment to advanced training, the team manages a full range of services including root canal therapy, retreatment, apicoectomies, regenerative endodontics, and treatments for cracked or traumatic teeth.
The practice uses advanced technology—such as 3D cone beam imaging, surgical microscopes, and laser-assisted procedures—to ensure precise, comfortable treatments that save natural teeth efficiently. Known for a calming, patient-focused atmosphere and seamless communication, Perry Endodontics proudly serves Agawam and nearby communities with specialized endodontic care.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal treatment is one of the most common procedures performed at the practice. When the pulp of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, a root canal is often the best way to relieve pain and preserve the natural tooth. During the procedure, the inflamed tissue is carefully removed, the root canals are disinfected, and the space is filled and sealed. A restoration, like a crown, is usually placed afterward to protect the tooth long term. Patients often experience immediate relief and can avoid extraction.
Endodontic Retreatment
Occasionally, a tooth that has previously undergone root canal therapy may develop new problems. Retreatment involves reopening the tooth to remove old filling material, carefully cleaning and disinfecting the canals again, and resealing them to encourage healing. Retreatment can help save teeth that would otherwise require extraction, and it is performed with advanced imaging and magnification to ensure success.
Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)
When infection persists near the tip of the root after a root canal or retreatment, an apicoectomy may be recommended. This microsurgical procedure involves removing the infected portion of the root tip along with surrounding tissue, followed by sealing the root end. Apicoectomy is often the last step to save a tooth when conventional treatments have not resolved the issue.
Treatment for Cracked Teeth
Cracks can develop in teeth due to habits like grinding, chewing hard foods, or accidental injuries. Depending on the location and severity of the crack, endodontic treatment may be necessary to prevent further damage and preserve the tooth. The practice provides thorough evaluations using digital imaging and operating microscopes to detect cracks that are not visible to the naked eye.
Regenerative Endodontics
For younger patients with developing teeth that have been injured, regenerative endodontic procedures can help stimulate new tissue growth inside the tooth. This approach can strengthen the root and encourage continued development, improving long-term outcomes. The team has advanced training in these procedures and tailors treatment plans to each patient’s needs.
Advanced Diagnostics and Technology
Perry Endodontics uses 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to capture high-resolution images of teeth, bone, and surrounding structures. This technology allows for precise diagnosis and treatment planning, especially in complex cases. Digital radiography reduces radiation exposure while providing clear images instantly. Operating microscopes ensure the highest level of detail during treatment, enhancing accuracy and success rates.
Patients from Agawam can trust that every procedure is designed to preserve their natural teeth whenever possible, reduce discomfort, and support overall oral health.
