Save Your Tooth & Avoid Root Canals
At Van Orman Dental, we prioritize tooth preservation through advanced techniques like capping. This minimally invasive treatment helps protect the tooth’s nerve (pulp) and prevents the need for a root canal when decay or injury reaches close to the nerve.
What is Pulp Capping?
It is a restorative dental procedure designed to treat deep cavities or minor pulp exposure without removing the tooth’s nerve. We encourage the tooth to heal naturally by applying a special protective material, avoiding further decay and infection.
- Direct Pulp Capping – Used when the pulp is slightly exposed due to decay or trauma. A biocompatible material is placed directly over the pulp to promote healing.
- Indirect Pulp Capping – Used when decay is close to the pulp but hasn’t yet exposed it. A protective layer is placed over the dentin to help prevent further damage.
Who Can Benefit from Pulp Capping?
Pulp capping is an ideal solution for patients who:
- Have deep cavities close to the nerve
- Want to avoid a root canal treatment
- Have a minor pulp exposure due to trauma or decay
- Prefer a minimally invasive approach to tooth restoration
