About Root Canal Treatment

Consultation and Diagnosis

During the initial visit, we will perform thorough examination to diagnose the exact nature of the problem, and will discuss causation, treatment options, sequence, and course of healing.

Endodontic Treatment

Endodontic treatments involve cleaning, shaping, and sealing the canals inside the roots of teeth.  This can usually be accomplished by a small opening made through the chewing surface of the tooth.  Occasionally, a more advanced surgical approach may be recommended, which requires the roots to be treated through a small incision in the gum tissue. 

Follow Up To Root Canal Treatment

After the completion of treatment in our office, a follow up visit is necessary by your dentist, to complete the restoration of the tooth.  We will make the appropriate recommendations regarding follow up visits depending on the procedure performed.
