Benefits Of Root Canals

Experience the transformative advantages of root canals at Dental Expressions by Dr. Gary Bram, where preserving your natural smile takes center stage. Root canals not only salvage severely decayed or infected teeth but also contribute to your overall well-being by averting the potential consequences of untreated dental issues.

Preservation of Natural Teeth

Root canals are a premier method for salvaging teeth affected by severe decay or infection, ensuring the preservation of your natural dental structure and preventing the need for extraction.

Holistic Oral Health

Root Canal Aftercare

After eliminating the infection, the root canal is sealed with a sealer paste and gutta-percha, and a temporary filling closes the access hole. Subsequently, a temporary crown ensures protection during jaw healing, while the permanent crown, custom-made for optimal fit and appearance, is affixed in the final visit.

Sealing the Root Canal: A sealer paste and gutta-percha effectively seal the root canal, preventing recontamination and fortifying the tooth's structural integrity.
Temporary Crown Protection: During the healing phase, a temporary crown safeguards the tooth, allowing for the complete recovery of the jaw and ensuring interim protection.
Precision-Fit Permanent Crown: A custom-made permanent crown, fabricated to exact specifications, is securely cemented during the final visit, restoring the tooth's full functionality and natural appearance.

Technology Behind Root Canals

Embark on a journey through the intricate science behind root canals, where modern dentistry meets the complexities of tooth anatomy and healing.

Root Canal Anatomy

Root canals delve into the innermost layers of a tooth, addressing infections in the pulp, the vital tissue containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.

Pulp Removal and Cleansing

The procedure involves the meticulous removal of infected pulp, followed by a thorough cleansing and disinfection of the internal tooth structure.

Sealing The Canal

The treated canal is sealed using a specialized sealer paste and gutta-percha, forming a robust barrier against bacterial intrusion.

Temporary Crown Placement

While awaiting the permanent crown, a temporary crown is affixed, providing protection and stability during the healing period.

Permanent Crown Fabrication

A custom-designed permanent crown is crafted to exact specifications, ensuring a precise fit and mimicking the natural appearance of the restored tooth.

Crown Cementation

In the final phase, the permanent crown is expertly cemented into place, completing the root canal process and enhancing both function and aesthetics.

Root Canal FAQs: Essential Information For Informed Dental Care

Explore the common questions about root canals, from understanding the procedure to post-treatment care, ensuring you’re well-informed for your dental health journey.

What is a root canal, and why might I need one?

A root canal is a dental procedure aimed at saving a severely decayed or infected tooth by removing the infected pulp. It’s recommended when the alternative is tooth extraction.

How do I know if I need a root canal?

Common signs include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a pimple on the gums. A dental examination and X-rays are crucial for an accurate diagnosis.

Is a root canal painful?

With modern anesthesia, root canals are typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Patients may experience mild discomfort during the healing process.

How long does a root canal procedure take?

While it varies, most root canals can be completed in one to two appointments, depending on the complexity of the case.

What happens after a root canal?

After removing the infected pulp, the tooth is sealed, and a temporary crown is placed. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to fit the permanent crown after complete healing.

Can I drive home after a root canal?

Yes, in most cases, you can drive home after the procedure. However, if sedation is used, you may need someone to drive you.

What is the success rate of root canals?

Root canals have a high success rate, typically exceeding 95%. Success depends on factors like proper sealing and restoration of the tooth.

Are there alternatives to root canals?

The primary alternative is tooth extraction, but this isn’t always the best option for preserving overall oral health and function.

Is there anything I should avoid after a root canal?

It’s advisable to avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the permanent crown is placed. Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for recovery.

Can a tooth that had a root canal still get cavities?

Yes, even after a root canal, the treated tooth is susceptible to decay. Regular dental check-ups and proper oral care are essential for preventing further issues.

I met Dr. Bram for the first time today for a 2nd opinion and consultation (which was free) for an extraction and either an implant or bridge. He is a gentleman, so calming and soft spoken, he thoroughly explained all the procedures, the pros and cons and made me feel very comfortable and took away whatever anxiety I had from the mishandling at my dentist’s office. His office is immaculate and his staff is friendly and competent. I wish I had gone to him years ago!
