Exceptional Root Canal Treatment
Dr. Garcia and Dr. Sanchez-Garcia have considerable experience with the root canal procedure, regularly achieve exceptional results, and often complete root canals in just one visit.
Once you have been anesthetized, you will not feel any pain. Still, if you are uncomfortable in any way, Dr. Garcia and Dr. Sanchez-Garcia will administer pain medication to reduce any discomfort you may experience.
To keep you comfortable, we’ve invested in the most advanced technology and tools, including dental instruments that are as close to silent as possible. We use rotary instruments to make the procedure go faster. We also use a dental laser to help aid in the cleaning process and kill off any infection-causing bacteria.
If your tooth develops an area of decay or a cavity, the bacteria that grow in that area can spread to your tooth’s nerve or pulp and cause infection. If the infection spreads to your tooth’s roots, you could develop a very painful and dangerous infection.
Untreated tooth infections are dangerous. An oral infection can result in bone loss and tissue loss in the affected area, tooth loss, and even serious illness, such as endocarditis, a condition of the heart muscle’s lining.
Other tools used at Miami Designer Smiles during endodontics treatment include:
Justwo Apex Locator. This device is a unique sensor placed on your lip and attached to the instruments that clean out your tooth. It allows dentists to know precisely where they are inside your tooth and saves a great deal of time since it eliminates the need for X-rays during your treatment.
Satelac Ultrasonic Device. This instrument helps our dentists precisely remove affected tooth structure, so our dentists don’t remove any more tissue than necessary. This device also helps clean out the tooth more quickly, reducing the time it takes to complete your procedure.
