Many people dread root canal procedures. The treatment’s reputation for being uncomfortable and even unnecessary comes from years of its unfavorable portrayal.
Root canal therapy procedures are the best way to save compromised teeth from extraction and restore oral health. If the infected pulp is not removed, you could lose your tooth or risk more serious infection.
A Routine, Comfortable Procedure
During a root canal procedure itself, you are comfortably anesthetized. We work with you to determine the most comfortable option for you.
First, we will assess the tooth to determine the best method of removing the inner infected pulp. This responsive bundle of nerves can cause great discomfort if left untreated. After carefully eliminating the infection, the inner chambers are filled with a body-safe material. Lastly, the tooth is covered with a crown to keep it sealed and healthy.
Cure Your Toothache and Save Your Teeth
Many people prefer root canal therapy to the alternative, which is likely to be extraction after an undue period of avoiding the issue. While tooth extractions are necessary in some cases, it’s always better to try to save your natural teeth when you can.
Dr. Balian ensures that your root canal treatment is as quick and comfortable as possible. If you suspect you have a tooth infection and may need a root canal, call us for a comprehensive evaluation. We can help you determine the best course of treatment so that you can maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
