ENDODONTICS (ROOT CANALS)
Removing infection for a healthier tooth and a healthier you.
Root canals often have a reputation for being painful dental procedures. However, at Ballard Dental Arts, we strive to change this perception. By utilizing modern technology and advanced skills, we ensure your root canal experience is pain-free. Our restorative dentists prioritize your comfort throughout the process and can even offer sedation options if needed.
Why Root Canal Therapy?
You might wonder why root canal therapy is necessary. Typically, it becomes essential when the inside of your tooth gets infected due to severe decay or trauma. If left untreated, this infection can lead to pain, sensitivity, and even tooth loss. Fortunately, we can complete the procedure in a single visit, and you’ll experience minimal recovery time.
You're in Good Hands
When you visit our Ballard dentist for a root canal, you can feel confident in your care. We treat every patient like family, carefully explaining each step of the treatment, answering your questions, and ensuring your comfort throughout the process.
Successful root canals are long-lasting and provide a conservative way to preserve your tooth’s natural structure. As a result, you’ll enjoy significant benefits after undergoing this fast and efficient procedure. Let’s explore how we perform root canals and their advantages.
ROOT CANAL THERAPY
What are the ins and outs of this restorative procedure?
Comprehensive Exam
First, your experienced dentist assesses your tooth for damage, infection, and other issues. If a root canal is necessary, we’ll break down the treatment steps and address all your concerns.
Clean & Disinfect
We begin by numbing the tooth and surrounding area. Your Ballard dentist then uses specialized tools to remove any decay and infection from inside the tooth (the pulp). Afterward, we reshape the root canal to prepare it for a special resin.
Seal & Protect
Once we’ve cleared away the infection, your restorative dentist fills the space with a special resin. This solidifies your tooth structure, much like a regular dental filling. Finally, we restore your tooth to its natural function with a tooth-colored filling or crown that blends seamlessly with your smile.
