Regenerative Endodontics in Hawthorne, CA

Restoring Natural Tooth Vitality with Advanced Endodontic Care

Some dental problems go beyond conventional root canal therapy. For young patients or adults with complex infections, regenerative endodontics offers a groundbreaking way to restore vitality to damaged teeth rather than simply removing tissue. At Schnierow Dental Care, our skilled endodontist uses biologically based therapies to encourage healing, repair, and continued development of your natural teeth.

What Is Regenerative Endodontics?

Regenerative endodontics is a cutting-edge field of dentistry focused on restoring the natural pulp and root structures inside teeth. Unlike traditional root canals that remove infected tissue, this treatment:

  • Stimulates natural healing within the tooth
  • Encourages root growth and thickening of the canal walls
  • Preserves the tooth’s vitality whenever possible

It combines advanced techniques such as disinfecting the canal, applying biologically active materials, and encouraging stem-cell driven healing.

When Is Regenerative Endodontics Recommended?

This therapy is most effective in:

  • Young patients with underdeveloped roots or open root tips
  • Teeth with infected or necrotic pulp that are still capable of repair
  • Cases where traditional retreatment may not be possible
  • Patients who want to preserve the long-term strength of their natural teeth

If regenerative endodontics isn’t suitable, we also provide other advanced solutions, including apicoectomy, root end therapy, or full oral surgery.

Benefits of Regenerative Endodontics

Choosing regenerative care offers many long-term advantages:

  • Preserves your natural tooth structure
  • Encourages root development and strength
  • Reduces the risk of reinfection
  • Provides a biologically natural alternative to extraction and replacement

By focusing on healing rather than removal, regenerative endodontics helps patients keep their natural smiles healthy for years to come.

What to Expect During Treatment

While every case is unique, regenerative endodontics generally includes:

  1. Careful cleaning and disinfection of the canal.
  2. Placement of biocompatible materials designed to trigger healing.
  3. Sealing the tooth to protect it during the healing process.
  4. Monitoring through follow-up visits to track regeneration and root development.

FAQs About Regenerative Endodontics

Is regenerative endodontics painful?

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and patients typically report little to no discomfort.

Can this treatment work for adults, or only children?

While regenerative endodontics is most successful in younger patients with developing roots, in some cases it can also benefit adults with specific conditions.

What happens if the tooth doesn’t respond to regenerative treatment?

If healing is not successful, other treatment options such as root end therapy or dental implants can restore function and aesthetics.

How is this different from a traditional root canal?

A root canal removes infected pulp and replaces it with filling material. Regenerative endodontics instead promotes natural healing, aiming to restore living tissue inside the tooth.
