Enso Dental Arts, conveniently located on Willis Avenue in Albertson, provides comprehensive endodontic care under the guidance of our skilled in-office professionals. Dr. Maria Hiruma, Dr. Kevin Chen, and our entire team are dedicated to preserving your natural teeth through expert root canal procedures that effectively address infected or damaged dental pulp, prioritizing your comfort and long-term oral health along the way.
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure designed to save a severely damaged or infected tooth by removing the infected pulp, cleaning the pulp chamber, and sealing the tooth to prevent future infection. When the soft tissue inside your tooth (dental pulp) becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, a root canal becomes necessary to eliminate pain and save your natural tooth.
The infected dental pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue that, when compromised, can cause severe pain and sensitivity. It may even lead to a dental abscess if left untreated. At Enso Dental Arts, our root canal procedures focus on removing damaged tissue while preserving your tooth’s natural structure, avoiding extraction whenever possible.
Recognizing the symptoms that indicate the need for root canal therapy can help you seek treatment before the condition worsens. Persistent or severe tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure, often signals an infection that requires endodontic treatment. Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures that persists even after the stimulus is removed may indicate damaged pulp that requires attention.
Tooth discoloration, swollen gums around a painful tooth, or a small bump on the gums resembling a pimple are additional warning signs. If you experience throbbing tooth pain that disrupts your sleep or daily activities, contact Enso Dental Arts immediately for an evaluation with our Albertson endodontic specialists.
Modern root canal treatments at Enso Dental Arts are far more comfortable than their reputation suggests. Your procedure begins with a thorough examination, which often includes digital imaging to assess the extent of the infection. Our doctors then administer local anesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure, with sedation dentistry options available for patients with dental anxiety.
During the treatment, we create a small access opening in the tooth crown to reach the pulp chamber. Using specialized instruments, we carefully remove the infected pulp tissue, thoroughly clean the canal system, and shape it to prepare for filling. After disinfecting the space, we seal it with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to prevent bacteria from re-entering. Most root canal procedures are completed in one to two visits, depending on the complexity of your case.
At Enso Dental Arts, we utilize minimally invasive root canal treatment approaches that preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Dr. Hiruma, with her expertise in complex dental procedures, and Dr. Chen, with his extensive background in dental education, employ modern endodontic techniques that improve treatment outcomes and patient comfort.
Our practice features state-of-the-art dental technology designed specifically for precision root canal therapy. These advanced tools allow for more thorough cleaning of the pulp chamber while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in more successful treatments and faster recovery times for our Albertson patients.
Following your root canal procedure, you can expect some mild discomfort that typically subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain medications are usually sufficient for managing any post-treatment sensitivity. Our team provides detailed root canal aftercare instructions, including temporary eating restrictions and proper oral hygiene practices to support the healing process.
Most teeth that undergo root canal therapy require placement of a dental crown after treatment to protect the restored tooth and restore full function. This final restoration prevents fractures and ensures the long-term success of your treatment. With proper care, a tooth treated with root canal therapy can last a lifetime, making it a worthwhile investment in your oral health.
Maintaining excellent oral hygiene after your root canal is essential for preventing future infections and protecting your investment. Regular dental checkups at Enso Dental Arts allow our team to monitor your treated tooth and address any concerns before they develop into more serious issues.
Preventative practices such as brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and avoiding excessive forces on your teeth help maintain the integrity of your root canal treatment. Our doctors may recommend additional preventative measures based on your specific oral health needs to ensure optimal long-term outcomes.
When faced with a severely damaged or infected tooth, you may wonder whether root canal therapy or extraction is the better option. While extraction might seem like a simpler solution, preserving your natural teeth whenever possible offers significant long-term benefits for your oral health and function.
Root canal treatment at Enso Dental Arts saves your natural tooth structure and maintains proper alignment of surrounding teeth. This preservation helps prevent bone loss in the jaw and eliminates the need for more extensive and costly tooth replacement options. Our experienced endodontists will discuss all available options with you, helping you make an informed decision based on your specific situation.
