Why Choose Endodontics to Save Your Natural Teeth
Endodontics focuses on treating the inside of your tooth, specifically the pulp and root canals, when they become infected or damaged. This specialized field of dentistry offers significant advantages over tooth extraction, allowing you to keep your natural smile intact. Root canal therapy, the most common endodontic procedure, has a success rate of over 95% and can last a lifetime with proper care. By choosing endodontics, you avoid the need for more complex and expensive tooth replacement options like dental implants or bridges. Our caring approach ensures you receive personalized treatment that addresses your specific needs while minimizing discomfort throughout the process.
Advanced Endodontic Treatment Process
Our endodontic procedures begin with a thorough examination and digital X-rays to assess the extent of damage or infection. During root canal therapy, we carefully remove the infected pulp tissue, clean and disinfect the root canals, and then seal them with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. Modern anesthetic techniques ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure, often making it no more uncomfortable than a regular filling. The treated tooth is then restored with a crown to provide long-lasting protection and functionality. We use state-of-the-art technology, including rotary instruments and digital imaging, to ensure precise, efficient treatment that promotes faster healing and optimal results.
