Root Canals
At Tafur Dental clinic in Gibraltar we specialise in root canals, the last step available in destistry to safe the natural tooth. An endodontic treatment involves filling a complex structure of channels, connected with other adjacent channels. A root canal failure manifests in most cases by unfilled channels.
Wisdom teeth extractions
These 4 teeth grow in the late teens or early twenties, by then, all of the other adult teeth are in place. When they come out, there is ususally no space available and this causes the adjacent teeth to move or the wisdom teeth to come out at an angle. Removing them may prevent crowded teeth, malocclusion and bite disorders.
