(3) - [Test Reviews](https://www.endonapa.com/reviews/): We are very honored that you chose Modern Endo of Napa. Dr. Ryan Tigrett and our Modern Endo of Napa team are committed to providing you with the finest endodontic care. Our philosophy at Modern Endo of Napa is patient-centered.  - [Internal Bleaching](https://www.endonapa.com/internal-bleaching/): You may have heard about Teeth Whitening, In-Office Whitening and At-Home Bleaching.  These can be very effective for most surface staining on teeth.  Occasionally our patients will have a single tooth that is discolored and does not respond well to standard bleaching. - [Traumatic Dental Injury](https://www.endonapa.com/traumatic-dental-injury/): Injuries to the mouth can cause teeth to be fractured, pushed out of position, or knocked out of their socket.  Your dentist or endodontist may be able to reposition and stabilize the tooth, allowing it to heal.  After the trauma you will most likely require close follow up by an endodontist.   Dr. Tigrett will carefully assess the tooth over the following weeks to determine if your tooth will require further treatment.  Children’s teeth in early development have the ability to recover from trauma without root canal treatment.  As for adults, our teeth often require root canal treatment a few weeks after the trauma.   - [Cracked Teeth](https://www.endonapa.com/cracked-teeth/): Some common types of cracks are superficial and require no intervention while other cracks can eventually lead loss of your tooth.   A cracked tooth can cause a wide variety of symptoms.   The movement along the crack irritates the nerve of the tooth.   If cracks and fractures are left untreated they can allow bacteria from your saliva to penetrate the tooth and cause infection.    - [Endodontic Surgery](https://www.endonapa.com/endodontic-surgery/): Generally, root canal treatment is all that is needed to repair your injured tooth.  Occasionally, the root canal procedure will not be sufficient to completely eliminate the problem.  If the tooth is not healing we may suggest a surgical treatment.  Endodontic surgery can be used to remove persistent infections, locate fractures or treat hidden canals that do not appear on x-rays but cause pain in the tooth.  Damaged root surfaces or the surrounding bone may also be treated with this procedure.  The most common surgery used to save damaged teeth is an apicoectomy or root-end resection. - [Root Canal Retreatment](https://www.endonapa.com/root-canal-retreatment/): With the appropriate care, your teeth that have had endodontic (root canal) treatment can last as long as other natural teeth. Occasionally, the infection around the tooth that undergone endodontic treatment may not heal or pain may continue despite therapy.  In some rare cases, the tooth may respond well to treatment only to have the disease return months or years after treatment.    - [Root Canal Treatment](https://www.endonapa.com/root-canal-treatment/): A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for more invasive replacement procedures. - [Privacy Policy](https://www.endonapa.com/privacy-policy/): Privacy Policy - [Staff](https://www.endonapa.com/staff/): Endodontist - [Meet The Team](https://www.endonapa.com/meet-the-team/): "Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate". - [Treatment](https://www.endonapa.com/treatment/): While many dentists do not perform any endodontic treatment and refer all patients to endodontists, a few general dentists may perform some endodontic (root canal) treatment.   However, patients are often referred to an endodontist when it has been determined that your case may be complex or requires the attention of a specialist.  endodontists are specialists with advanced training and knowledge in this field.  A sharp general dentist often identifies potential challenges in advance, and refers to an endodontist to avoid encountering difficulty in order to give you the best treatment outcome.  It is important to recognize that you have been referred because your dentist has your best interest at heart and wants you to receive the finest endodontic care possible. - [Tooth Saving Tips](https://www.endonapa.com/tooth-saving-tips/): Patients today have more options than ever before to treat their teeth.  Understanding your choices and their impact on your future dental health and lifestyle is important.  Read on to learn why nothing is as good as your natural tooth and get simple tips for saving your teeth! - [Tooth Pain Guide](https://www.endonapa.com/tooth-pain-guide/): MOMENTARY SENSITIVITY TO HOT OR COLD FOOD/DRINKS - [Insurance Information](https://www.endonapa.com/insurance-information/): At Modern Endo of Napa we make every effort to provide you with the finest care and the most convenient financial options.
