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
This is the only place to go if you need to get a root canal, it took less than an hour and he did an outstanding job. The staff there is spot on and they know what they’re doing. Highly recommend this place.
I had an apicoectomy with Dr. Cohenca and his team at Prime Endodontics, and honestly… wow. I was nervous going in (because surgery 😬), but they completely put me at ease. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt taken care of.The place is spotless, calm, and comforting. They wrapped me in a warm blanket (yes, that little touch made such a difference), explained everything so clearly, and were just so kind. Dr. Cohenca is not only an expert at what he does, but also incredibly thoughtful and attentive.The surgery itself went super smoothly, and recovery has been way easier than I expected. I never thought I’d say this about a dental procedure, but the whole experience was actually… comforting? I left feeling genuinely grateful.If you’re anxious or unsure, this is the team you want by your side. 10/10.
I had the best experience. First of all the staff is accommodating and really caring as I was in so much pain they gave me earliest appointment which was next morning. I did my paper work before hand. Dr. Cohenca is an amazing doc. He evaluated me first to confirm that for sure root canal is required and then 1.5 hour around it took for while procedure. After 2 hours of root canal when my anesthesia was gone I had literally no pain.They even gave me headphones to listen to music so that I don’t have to hear that drilling noise and become anxious.100% recommend !!!
