Why do I need root canal treatment?
We provide root canal services to save natural teeth. Despite advanced dental restorations, there’s nothing like your natural tooth. We do everything possible to save your tooth with root canal services. But when is one needed?
Your tooth is more than the white outer covering (enamel). At the centermost part of your tooth, there’s the pulp chamber, which houses nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. The enamel protects these delicate structures. However, deep cracks, faulty dental work, and pronounced cavities sometimes breach the hard, protective covering, exposing the tooth to harmful bacteria.
Once the pulp chamber is infected, antibiotics can do little to reverse the infection. In such cases, you need root canal treatment (RCT) to remove the deep infection by flushing out the infected tissues. Don’t worry! Your tooth will still function normally without the pulp chamber.Â
What makes our root canals different?
We have incorporated technology into our root canal services to make your treatment seamless and painless. During consultation, the dentist uses advanced imaging tools like the 3D CBCT to view even the intricate canals that can be missed with standard X-rays.Â
Once the dentist accesses your tooth’s interior, we remove the diseased tissues and clean them thoroughly until all the infection is gone. Instead of manual tools, the dentist uses the state-of-the-art GentleWave Procedure to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of root canal therapy. This innovative procedure combines acoustic energy and optimized fluids to reach and clean intricate areas of the root canal system that conventional hand instruments may overlook.
Additionally, our root canals incorporate surgical microscopes to provide a high level of magnification, allowing us to see the intricate details of the root canal system that can be missed with traditional methods. Surgical microscopes enhance visibility and precision, leading to better outcomes.Â
We combine cutting-edge technology, an eye for detail, and years of experience to maximize your treatment outcomes. Although it can happen, patients in our office rarely experience failed root canals.Â
