Gentle Root Canals
Root canal therapy is a crucial procedure used to save teeth that are severely infected or decayed. At Aesthetic & Implant Dentistry of Atlanta, our dentists perform gentle and precise root canal treatments, using several years of experience to ensure the best outcomes. With advanced techniques and modern equipment, we focus on removing the infected tissue with minimal discomfort, followed by restoring the tooth to its full function and aesthetic.
Who Needs a Root Canal?
Root canal treatment is necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected. This can result from deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. Symptoms may include severe pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, discoloration of the tooth, and swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, visiting our Atlanta office for an evaluation is crucial.
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
-
Pain Relief : Despite common misconceptions, modern root canal treatment is very similar to a routine filling and can usually be completed in one or two appointments, effectively relieving pain.
-
Tooth Preservation : Root canal therapy allows you to save your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction and replacement with artificial alternatives.
-
Prevention of Spread of Infection : By removing the infected tissue, root canal therapy prevents the infection from spreading to other teeth or into your jawbone.
-
Restoration of Tooth Function : After a root canal, the tooth is restored with a filling or crown, which helps it to function like any other tooth.
