Root Canals

This is a procedure in which we go into the very heart of your tooth, the fleshy “pulp”, and try to disinfect it before the decay can actually kill the living tissues of the tooth. This is generally what is called for when you actually start to feel the pain of your tooth decay, which is why it is so important that you get your regular check-ups and try to spot cavities before they penetrate too deep.

Root canals have a bad reputation as an extremely painful experience, but this notion is actually quite dated. Modern dental procedures have increased our ability to safely and effectively perform a root canal, and a majority of patients report not feeling any pain at all. Most procedures can also be done quickly, requiring less time and fewer visits than the root canals of the past. If fear of the grueling pain is keeping you from getting the dental care you need, then put your fears aside and come down to Bella Dental today.

The tools and techniques used in modern root canal therapy have significantly improved, making the procedure more precise and less invasive. High-resolution imaging, such as digital X-rays and cone-beam CT scans, allows dentists to accurately diagnose the extent of tooth decay and plan the treatment accordingly. Additionally, the use of advanced rotary instruments and ultrasonic devices enables more thorough cleaning and shaping of the root canals. These innovations not only enhance the success rate of the procedure, but also reduce the likelihood of complications. By choosing to address your dental issues promptly with a root canal, you can preserve your natural tooth, maintain proper oral function, and avoid more extensive and costly treatments in the future. At Bella Dental, we are committed to providing compassionate and expert care to ensure your comfort and satisfaction throughout the process.
