Endodontic Root Canals In West Chester
Getting a root canal may sound scary, but with modern dental techniques and technology offered at Endodontics of West Chester, root canals are one of the most successful and pain-free procedures you can get.
When is A Root Canal Indicated?
Have you ever experienced a tooth ache or noticed sensitivity to cold beverages or pain when chewing? If so, you could need a root canal.
A root canal is a dental treatment focused on cleaning and filling the inside of the tooth. The goal of root canal therapy is to help save your natural tooth. Based on the most rigorous research presented in the Journal of Endodontics, root canals have been found to have a 95% success rate.
The Root Canal Treatment Process
Consultation
Consultation
During your thorough consultation, your endodontist will use advanced diagnostic imaging (including 3-D CBCT scans) and clinical findings to present you with treatment options and prognoses. Should you decide to proceed with root canal treatment, you will be numbed with local anesthesia.
Your endodontist will discuss sedation options with you before starting the procedure.
Disinfection and Filling
Disinfection and Filling
Once you’re comfortable and fully anesthetized,your endodontist will eliminate the infection. Through a state-of-the-art Zeiss Extaro microscope, your endodontist will atraumatically create a small hole to allow for disinfection of the inside of your tooth. In appropriate cases, Sonendo's Gentle Wave technology may be employed to aid in this process. Upon completion of this thorough cleansing, the canal spaces will be sealed with biocompatible root filling materials such as Bioceramics and gutta percha. Finally, a temporary filling will be placed on the chewing surface of the tooth.
