Our endodontic practice Naperville IL aims to give patients an anxiety free, pain free experience using the most skilled endodontic techniques. We provide evaluation and diagnosis of oral pain and schedule surgery for endodontics and treatment of damaged teeth, teeth with decay from cavities, fractured and dislodged teeth. A root canal, or endodontic procedure, helps us save the tooth after tooth decay. Teeth contain pulp inside it that nourish the tooth around it and give it life. If tooth decay sets in, it can damage the pulp inside the tooth. If the pulp inside becomes too damaged, we may require a root canal treatment. Symptoms that pulp may be inflamed and need a root canal procedure include sensitivity to heat, cold and percussion. Root canals clean up the inside of the tooth and remove the infected pulp, which saves the entire tooth from needing extraction.
During your root canal at our
endodontic practice Naperville IL, we will remove the damaged pulp, clean, and then seal the tooth. The entire procedure is simple and involves only local anesthesia. Endodontic therapy is not painful and once it is completed, a crown is placed on top of the site to protect the area. Root canal success happens in more than 90% of patients. For more information on root canals and other dentistry services, call today. We also specialize in general, restorative and cosmetic dentistry, for a complete one stop dental office that fits all of our patient’s needs.
