Resorption can start inside the tooth (internal resorption) or on the root's outer surface (external resorption), where it attaches to the jawbone—this external type is the most common.
Symptoms may include toothache, gum swelling, loosened teeth, pink or dark spots on the tooth, and shifting teeth. Sometimes, resorption is painless and hard to detect without an exam.
Avoiding extraction helps preserve bone strength, symmetry, and jaw function. Dr. Yacaman specialize in advanced, tooth-conserving treatments that prioritize your long-term oral health.
Dr. Yacaman will assess your condition and create a customized treatment plan with a comfortable, spa-like environment and options for conscious sedation to ease any anxiety.
