A root canal has a success rate of 95%.
One of ourwill examine your teeth with the help of x-rays to look for signs of infection. If the infection has progressed too far, you may need an extraction.
Local anesthesia will be administered to prevent feeling any pain. We also offer 4 different types of sedation for your ultimate comfort.
After drilling into your tooth to gain access to the pulp chamber, we will scrape out all of the infected tissue including the roots, then we will clean and sanitize the tooth’s canals.
The dental pulp is replaced with a gutta-percha filling.
A dental crown is not always necessary but is recommended to protect the rear molars which are at higher risk of damage.
When the deepest layers of a tooth are infected, a root canal may not save the tooth.
No, a root canal is completely painless because we use a combination of anesthetic and sedation when desired to make you as comfortable as possible. Even if you have dental anxiety, we can make you fully relaxed and you won’t remember anything afterward. Tooth infections can be very painful and root canal therapy is effective at eliminating this pain.
Anyone who has a tooth infection with a tooth that is still salvageable is the ideal candidate for a root canal. You must have the condition that makes root canals necessary (infection or damage to the tooth’s dental pulp) but sometimes the infection has been left untreated for too long and this requires removal of the tooth.
Root canal retreatment is an option if a root canal fails.
