HOW DOES ROOT CANAL TREATMENT WORK?

Once your endodontist has determined which tooth is infected or has pulp damage, the area will be numbed with local anesthetic. The doctor can then make a small opening in the tooth to access the pulp chamber deep inside the tooth. The pulp is removed with special instruments and then the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected. Our endodontists use LASER irrigation system. This technology has proven to be an extremely effective way to disinfect the root canals and greatly reduces the changes of needing re-treatment. In some cases, the root canals must be reshaped and smoothed out to accommodate a new root canal filling.

Once the root filling materials are placed, the tooth is sealed. Your restorative dentist may place a crown on top of the filled tooth to complete tooth restoration. Everything is performed in-house and you will be in the hands of one of the most experienced, board certified endodontists in St. Petersburg, FL. Our endodontists choose to utilize high-powered microscopes for every treatment. This technology helps us see in great detail the areas in need of root canal therapy, significantly improving the accuracy of the procedure and the predictability of the results. With our techniques and technology, we are able to set ourselves apart as one of the most advanced endocontic practices in Pinellas County.
