During a Root Canal treatment , Dr. Daniel Vasquez will extract decayed pulp from the central part of the tooth, reshape the canal and replace it with strengthening filler. A cavity is the result of superficial decay of the enamel of the tooth. Left long enough, this decay can burrow into the deeper reaches of the tooth, causing extensive damage to tooth structure. When the damage goes beyond what can be treated with a filling, Dr. Daniel Vasquez can perform a Root Canal (Endodontic Treatment), preserving the tooth and retaining its original integrity; thereby, saving a tooth that in the past would have to have been pulled.
Procedure:
- The patient undergoes anesthesia.
- A dental dam is used to isolate the tooth.
- The tooth is opened to allow for removal of infected or dead dental pulp.
- The tooth is comprehensively cleaned, including any cracks and canals.
- With special tools, Dr. Daniel Vasquez reshapes the Root Canals.
- The tooth is filled again with cutting edge biocompatible filling material.
- A temporary covering is used to cover the access opening.
- Patients MUST see Dr. Vasquez quickly for a permanent restoration of the tooth.
Dr. Daniel Vasquez utilizes the most current technology in LASER DENTISTRY and CONSCIOUS SEDATION to ensure that your root canal procedure is quick and painless.
