This patient came into Moonlight Beach Dental for a second opinion. That decision ended up saving her a lot of money, time, and her tooth!
Everything happened like this:
Her old dentist gave her a filling. However, the tooth still hurt, so she went back and the dentist redid the filling. Then it hurt more.
She went back again, and the dentist told her she needed a crown and a root canal.
That’s when she came to me and asked for a second opinion. After I heard about her symptoms, it didn’t sound like she needed a root canal.
It turns out there was a huge hole under the new filling, and decay left under the previous filling.
I carefully removed the decay, used our advanced laser in the deepest portions of her tooth, and then used ozone and several medications to sooth the nerve. I then was able to 3D mill a new piece of enamel out of porcelain.
She was thrilled that her tooth didn’t hurt anymore – and that she doesn’t need a root canal!
Most dentists haven’t made the significant investment that we have in a top-of-the-line dental laser, and don’t even use ozone.
We saved this patient time, money, and the death of her tooth.
