Root Canal Treatment

A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures with well over 14 million performed every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for dental implants or bridges.

Root Canal Surgery

Endodontic surgery (Apicoectomy) can be used to address issues that may not be apparent on x-rays but still manifest pain in the tooth. Affected root surfaces or the surrounding bone may also be treated with this procedure.

Root Canal Treatment & Surgery

Thanks to modern techniques and effective anesthesia, patients who experience root canals are six times more likely to describe it as painless than patients who have a tooth extracted! If you would like additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Endodontics?2024-09-20T10:54:43+00:00

Endodontics is a branch of dentistry recognized by the American Dental Association involving the treatment of the pulp (root canal) and surrounding tissues of the tooth. When you look at your tooth in the mirror, what you see is the crown. The rest of the tooth, the portion that is hidden beneath the gum line, is called the root. Though the outer portion of the root is a hard tissue called dentin, the inside channel or “root canal” contains a pulp of soft tissue, blood vessels, and nerves. Bacteria that are introduced into the pulp as a result of tooth decay, periodontal disease, tooth fracture, or other problems, can severely damage the pulp. When that happens, an endodontic specialist removes the diseased pulp to save the tooth and prevent further infection and inflammation. After successful endodontic treatment, the tooth continues to perform normally.

I’m Worried About X-rays. Should I Be?2024-09-20T10:55:03+00:00

No. While x-rays will be necessary during your endodontics treatment, we use an advanced non-film computerized system, called digital radiography, that is vastly different from conventional dental x-ray machinery. These digital images can be optimized, archived, printed, and sent to co-therapists via e-mail or CD-ROM. Still unsure? Give us a call and ask to speak with us about our x-rays.

What About Infection?2024-09-20T10:55:17+00:00

Again, there’s no need for concern. We adhere to the most rigorous standards of infection control advocated by OSHA, the Centers for Disease Control, and the American Dental Association. We utilize autoclave sterilization and barrier techniques to eliminate any risk of infection.

What Happens After Treatment?2024-09-20T10:55:32+00:00

When your root canal therapy has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. You should contact his office for a follow-up restoration within 30 days of completion at our office. Your restorative dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth. It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery. If a problem does occur, however, we are available at all times to respond.

What New Technologies Are Being Used?2024-09-20T10:55:59+00:00

Operating Microscopes:
In addition to digital radiography, we utilize special operating microscopes. Magnification and fiber optic illumination are helpful in aiding the doctor to see tiny details inside your tooth.

Are You Awake During Conscious Sedation?2024-09-20T10:56:17+00:00

Conscious sedation allows you to remain awake and conscious throughout an operation without experiencing pain or the more severe side effects and risks of general anesthesia. Some patients might have brief naps.
