Root Canal Therapy: Stop the Pain and Save Your Tooth
When you hear "root canal," you might think of pain. But the truth is, a root canal doesn't cause pain; it cures it.
At Gardens Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we perform root canal therapy to rescue teeth that have been severely compromised by deep decay, cracks, or infection.
Inside every tooth is a chamber containing nerves and blood vessels (the pulp). When this pulp becomes infected, it causes intense pressure and throbbing pain. Root canal therapy is a microsurgical procedure that removes the infection, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent future problems. It allows you to keep your natural tooth for a lifetime.
Why Choose Gardens for Endodontic Care?
We use the latest advancements in dental technology to make your root canal as routine and comfortable as a simple filling.
Advanced Diagnostics: We use 3D CBCT imaging to view the intricate canal anatomy of your tooth before we begin. This ensures we locate and treat every canal, leading to a higher success rate and preventing reinfection.
Gentle Techniques: We utilize modern rotary instruments that are quiet, fast, and precise, significantly reducing the time you spend in the chair.
Sedation Options: If you are anxious about the procedure, we offer Nitrous Oxide and IV Sedation. You can drift comfortably through your appointment and wake up with your tooth restored.
PROCEDURE
The Root Canal Process
We strive to complete your treatment efficiently, often in just one or two visits.
Numbing & Comfort: We start by applying a local anesthetic to completely numb the tooth and surrounding area. You should feel no pain during the procedure.
Removing the Infection: The dentist creates a small opening in the top of the tooth to access the pulp chamber. We carefully remove the infected nerve tissue and bacteria.
Cleaning & Shaping: The inner canals are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare them for filling.
Sealing: We fill the empty canals with a biocompatible rubber-like material called gutta-percha to seal out bacteria.
Restoration: Because the tooth is now hollow, it can be brittle. We typically place a Dental Crown to cover and strengthen the tooth, restoring its full function and appearance.
TESTIMONIAL
Patient Success Story: From Agony to Relief
Actual Patient Scenario
The Challenge: "Sarah," a 35-year-old nurse, woke up with a throbbing toothache that radiated to her ear. She couldn't chew on that side and was sensitive to hot coffee. She was terrified she would have to lose the tooth.
The Solution: Sarah came in for an emergency exam. Dr. Shakya diagnosed an irreversible infection in the nerve. He performed a root canal treatment that same morning.
The Result: The moment the anesthesia kicked in, Sarah felt relief. The procedure took about an hour. We placed a temporary crown, and she returned to work the next day with zero pain. After her permanent crown was placed, she told us, "It was easier than getting a filling. I wish I hadn't been so scared."
