What Is Root Resorption?
Root resorption can cause the gradual loss of a tooth's root structure, which can be caused by various factors, such as trauma, infection, or pressure from surrounding teeth. Since treatment at Prime Endodontics depends on an underlying cause. Our dental team might suggest imaging tests to figure out the nature, type, location and spread of the resorption defect. Treatment options may include managing symptoms, such as pain and swelling, in mild cases, or more complex procedures, like root canal therapy and minor surgical therapy in severe cases. Schedule a consultation with our team at our Kirkland, WA practice. Our goal is to preserve the tooth and its functionality as much as possible.
How Does Root Resorption Work?
Root resorption at Prime Endodontics addresses the breakdown of tooth root structures due to internal or external factors. Internal resorption can lead to the hollowing of the tooth's root canal while external resorption affects the root's outer sections. The treatment approach for root resorption at Prime Endodontics might involve different strategies, depending on the severity and type of resorption. Mild cases might only require symptomatic treatment, such as managing pain or inflammation. More severe cases might result in procedures, like root canal therapy or surgical repair if the damage is extensive. Imaging tests are often recommended to assess the extent of the resorption and to better understand the condition.

Prime Endodontics Reviews
Everyone here was so kind to me when I was very anxious. My treatment was speedy and painless and I very much appreciated the follow up the day after to check on me. I won't go anywhere else for my endodontic needs!
Dr Cohenca is truly a miracle worker! I had my first root canal today at age 68. I am the biggest baby in the world. It was so quick and easy and no pain. I highly recommend him if you need a root canal. He is beyond amazing! Thank you so much.
I have always been terrified of the idea of a root canal and never thought that I would actually require the procedure. I had a crown seated earlier in the year and knew that it was doomed from the start. When I developed a bump above the gumline over the tooth, I knew it was not going to be an easy fix. Boy, was I wrong. Dr. Nawari quickly diagnosed the issue with a set of x-rays and got straight to work. The process was complete in an hour and was incredibly easy. Dr. Nawari and Dulce were so kind and kept me comfortable and informed throughout. I was given headphones to connect to my phone/Spotify and the procedure was displayed on a screen for me to watch, if I chose to do so. Another set of x-rays concluded the procedure and confirmed that all was looking great, now! I can see why they have such a high rating - they are absolute superstars and so incredibly kind and understanding. Their amazing office administrator, Julie, kindly gave me some thoughtful recommendations for general providers on my way out, as I mentioned to her that I was seeking new general dentistry care. I would not hesitate to come back here for future work, though I hope it's not necessary! I HIGHLY recommend Prime Endodontics and that is coming from someone who is on the upper end of the anxiety scale!
I had the most positive experience here getting my root canal done. When scheduling an appointment, I was surprised how soon it could be scheduled (next day or in a couple of days). Dr. Cohenca is incredibly professional. Before doing the procedure, he performed diagnostic tests in order to be 100% sure that root canal treatment is exactly what I needed. He took great care to inform me of what was going on with my tooth, what he was going to do during the procedure, and answered all my questions. I was also very positively surprised on his technique of administering the local anesthesia. The numbing gel helped with the uncomfortable shot and he took great care to add anesthesia in small bits to make sure I felt no pain. The procedure itself was practically painless and I was provided with chapstick, a blanket, and headphones to put on music from my phone. Very happy with my experience here and 100% recommend Dr. Cohenca.
Professional, excellent customer service, easy to schedule. Most importantly, I felt reassured to be taken care of by a highly skilled, kind clinician.
