If you have a painful tooth, chances are that you may need root canal therapy. An endodontist is a dentist who specializes in this particular type of surgery. Root canal surgery is performed for one reason and one reason only – to save the life of a tooth. Even though today root canal surgery is a painless procedure for the patient, some people still have a fear of the dentist or of the root canal procedure. For these reasons our dentist offers sedation dentistry using nitrous oxide for our patients who are stressed at the thought of a root canal, or even at the thought of going to a dentist. Our sedation dentist in Bolingbrook, Dr. Linda Ricks, is happy to be able to offer this service so that all of our patients can be comfortable and relaxed during the root canal procedure.
Our endodontic practice serves the Naperville and surrounding communities. We offer unparalleled experience and expertise in performing root canal therapy. Our practice incorporates the latest technology and state-of-the-art equipment so that your root canal experience will be as pain-free and as comfortable as possible. We perform conventional, microscopic and surgical endodontics. Over the past decade or so, the practice of endodontics has evolved into a specialty that is able to save many teeth that would have been otherwise lost in the past. If you would like to have a root canal performed by a highly-trained sedation dentist in Bolingbrook, you will be very happy with the service and results you will get from our treatment.
At our practice, our endodontist provides many services including: evaluation and diagnosis of oral pain; root canal therapy; microscopic endodontics; microscopic retreatment of failing root canals; surgical endodontics; and nitrous oxide sedation. We have a 24 hour answering service to always be available to address any concerns or problems our patients might be having. At our practice, our sedation dentist in Bolingbrook uses nitrous oxide sedation when a patient requests sedation dentistry. Nitrous oxide is a safe and highly effective form of dental sedation. What nitrous oxide does is relax you and put you into a state of ease; you are fully conscious the entire time. Patients are comfortable with this type of sedation, and find that they like being aware of what is going on around them at all times. If you would like to speak to our endodontist about sedation dentistry and root canal procedures, contact us today for an appointment.
