Save Your Tooth: Root Canal Therapy at Plaza Dental Arts

At Plaza Dental Arts, Dr. Mehdi Aryan understands the importance of preserving your natural teeth whenever possible. Root canal therapy is a safe and effective procedure designed to save a tooth that’s infected or severely damaged. Dr. Aryan and our team are committed to providing compassionate and comfortable root canal treatment to alleviate your pain and restore your oral health.

Understanding Root Canals

The inner pulp of your tooth contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. If this pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause significant pain and inflammation. Root canal therapy removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further infection. This allows you to save your natural tooth and avoid the need for extraction.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Here are some signs that you may need a root canal:

  • Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
  • Swollen or tender gums around the tooth
  • Loose tooth
  • Visible pimple on the gums near the tooth

Root Canal Treatment at Plaza Dental Arts

Dr. Aryan performs root canal therapy using advanced techniques and technology to ensure a comfortable and efficient procedure. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Local Anesthesia: We will numb the area around the tooth to minimize discomfort.
  • Access and Cleaning: Dr. Aryan will create a small opening in the tooth to access the infected pulp. He will then carefully remove the infected tissue and clean and disinfect the canals of the tooth.
  • Filling and Sealing: Once the canals are cleaned, Dr. Aryan will fill them with a special material to prevent reinfection. The tooth may then be sealed with a temporary or permanent crown.
  • Recovery: You may experience some mild discomfort after the procedure, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Dr. Aryan will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

  • Saves your natural tooth: Preserving your natural tooth is always the best option for maintaining optimal oral health and function.
  • Alleviates pain: Root canal therapy effectively removes the source of your toothache and pain.
