| You may have heard of root canal therapy’s reputation as a painful procedure, but in fact root canal therapy is designed to relieve the pain caused by an infected tooth. Using root canal therapy, we can attempt to retain a tooth in the mouth when the nerve has died or is dying, a process which can restore your tooth back to its full strength and function. Root canal therapy is a complex and technically demanding procedure, but one which, when performed well, has a very high success rate. The good news is that today, for most patients root canal therapy is a simple procedure involving little or no discomfort. In fact, many of our patients are relieved to note that having root canal treatment at Brighter Smile Dental is as unobtrusive as receiving a filling. We use the latest technology in Nickel- Titanium rotary instrumentation combined with micro-vacuum systems to provide patients with the highest quality and most comfortable root canal therapy procedure possible. |  |
