Non Surgical Root Canal

What is a root canal?

A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges.

At the center of your tooth is pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature or pain in the tooth and gums.

How is a root canal performed?

If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. This therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required. Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of cases. If your tooth is not amenable to endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you will be informed at the time of consultation or when a complication becomes evident during or after treatment. We use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. You will be able to drive home after your treatment, and you probably will be comfortable returning to your normal routine.

What happens after treatment?

When your root canal therapy has been completed your  dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth. It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery. If a problem does occur, however, we are available at all times to respond. To prevent further decay, continue to practice good dental hygiene.

How much will it cost?

The cost associated with this procedure can vary depending on factors such as the severity of damage to the affected tooth and which tooth is affected. In general, endodontic treatment is much less expensive than tooth removal and replacement with an artificial tooth such as bridges,implants .

Staff was extremely courteous and catered to the comfort of the patient. The office was clean and the equipment in excellent condition. We were able to get an emergency appointment quickly and the service was excellent. My daughter-in-law, Sarah, just started with Alivio Dental and she too has been extremely satisfied!

Very good dental office! Friendly and helpful staff! They are always willing to lend a helping hand. Though they are out of network for my company but I still felt comfortable going there. Both cost and service was great. I will definitely recommend this place to all my friends!

Went here about 3 weeks ago - first time i been to a dentist in 16 years because i had not great experiences from childhood. Dr. Kaur and her staff were amazing, if not excellent. They did not do what i needed to get done, but they referred me to a place i could go to get my wisdom teeth pulled. However they did do first time pt xray as well as a teeth cleaning which my parents were bugging me about for years. I was a bit reserved at first but man, Dr. Kaur did a fantastic job and her staff was also accommodating. They took me in as a walk in first timer. If you need to go, call in an schedule an appointment - I got super lucky as a walk in. You wont regret this place as your choice for dental.
