What is a root canal?

A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges.

At the center of your tooth is pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature or pain in the tooth and gums.

If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. This therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required. Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of cases. If your tooth is not amenable to endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you will be informed at the time of consultation or when a complication becomes evident during or after treatment. We use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. In addition, we will provide nitrous oxide analgesia if indicated. You will be able to drive home after your treatment, and you probably will be comfortable returning to your normal routine.

What happens after treatment?

When your root canal therapy has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. You should contact their office for a follow-up restoration within a few weeks of completion at our office. Your restorative dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth. It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery. If a problem does occur, however, we are available at all times to respond. To prevent further decay, continue to practice good dental hygiene.

How much will it cost?

The cost associated with this procedure can vary depending on factors such as the severity of damage to the affected tooth and which tooth is affected. In general, endodontic treatment is much less expensive than tooth removal and replacement with an artificial tooth.

I highly recommend this group. They explained everything to me before the procedure and during the procedure. Dr Robles was awesome and polite with her assistant as well as with me. Even though they didn’t take my insurance they volunteered to file for me.️️

My first Root Canal. I was feeling a little apprehensive, but Dr. Burbick eased all worries during our initial visit. The procedure was expeditious and painless. Don't let Dr. Burbick's youthful appearance fool you. She is a very skilled Endodontist. Highly competent, talented, and gentle, her compassion and confidence made the root canal trouble free. Dziekuje, Dr. Burbick

So pleased with my experience. From the moment I was worked into the schedule since I was in pain, to taking care of all my questions and anxiety, this office is top notch! Hope I never need a root canal again but if I do, no doubt where I will be going. I would highly recommend this office.

Dr. King y sus ayudantes eran muy educado y profesional. Explicó cada paso antes de comenzar el procedimiento (canal raíz). Yo estaba preocupado por conseguir este procedimiento hace, pero en ningún momento durante este procedimiento experimenté ningún dolor o malestar. He recibido una llamada al día siguiente para ver cómo me sentía. ya que he dicho a todos mis compañeros de trabajo si necesitan este tipo de tratamiento dental, para darle una llamada. Estoy muy satisfecho con el resultado y volveré si surge la necesidad. Dr. Rey y su personal realmente se preocupan por su paciencia. Un gran agradecimiento a todos ellos.
