In House Endodontist

When you have tooth pain, it can be difficult to focus on your daily activities or think about anything other than the discomfort. The soft tissue inside your tooth can become inflamed or infected, resulting in nearly unbearable pain. Fortunately, you may not need to lose the tooth. Even better, our in-house endodontist can offer effective treatment at our convenient location.

Root Canal Therapy

The most common endodontic treatment we do is root canal therapy. After an injury to your tooth, you may need a root canal treatment if the root is damaged. Another source of root damage is deep decay. Once the root canal is damaged, it can quickly become inflamed or infected. To get to the source of the pain, we remove the pulp of your tooth and insert a special sealing material in its place. This allows you to keep your natural tooth instead of having to get an implant or denture.

Benefits of Our In-House Endodontic Treatment

Many dental clinics refer you to a specialist at another location for endodontic treatment. However, since we have an in-house endodontist, you can:

Receive treatment in a familiar environment.
Interact with our friendly office staff.
Avoid delays associated with going to a different clinic.
Get specialized treatment for your endodontic issues.

Root Canal Procedure

After we numb the area, our endodontist uses special dental tools to clean out the root canals and remove the pulp from your tooth. The next step is to add a sealant to protect your tooth from further decay.

Root Canal Therapy and Dental Phobia

Root canal treatment often feared for its reputation, is nearly painless and effectively relieves intense tooth pain caused by infection or inflammation in the pulp. If dental anxiety prevents you from seeking necessary care, including routine visits and urgent treatments for issues like infected teeth, West Metro Dental provides solutions. Our endodontist offers sedation options to ease anxiety and enhance comfort during procedures.

Restoring the Tooth

Once the endodontic treatment is completed, you will need a filling or a crown to restore the tooth. In many cases, a crown is preferable, especially if you have a large cavity or major damage to the tooth. We can take digital impressions and produce the crown at our clinic. Next, our dentist ensures the crown fits perfectly and securely attaches it to your tooth. This preserves both your tooth and your smile!
