What Is Non-Surgical Endodontics?
Non-surgical endodontics focuses on treating the inside of your tooth to resolve infections, damage, or decay. These procedures involve accessing the pulp inside your tooth to clean, disinfect, and seal it, ensuring the tooth remains functional and pain-free. Performed by a trained endodontist with specialized tools and technology, non-surgical endodontic treatments are a highly effective way to preserve your natural teeth and prevent further complications.

Frequently Asked Questions About Non-Surgical Endodontics
How long does a root canal treatment take?
A typical root canal procedure takes about 60-90 minutes and is usually completed in one visit. More complex cases may require additional visits.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Signs you may need a root canal include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, gum swelling near the tooth, pain when biting or discoloration. A consultation with our team can confirm whether this treatment is right for you.
What is GentleWave® technology?
GentleWave® is an advanced cleaning system we use for root canals. It cleans and disinfects the tooth more thoroughly than traditional methods, allowing us to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible.
What happens if I delay treatment?
Delaying treatment can worsen an infection or tooth damage, potentially leading to tooth loss, gum disease, or the need for more extensive procedures like surgery or extractions.
Can a root canal-treated tooth get infected again?
While rare, reinfections can occur. If this happens, endodontic retreatment can help save the tooth.
Are there alternatives to endodontic treatment?
The main alternative is tooth extraction, which requires replacement options like implants or bridges. However, saving your natural tooth is always preferred when possible.
Do you offer sedation options?
Yes, we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience for our patients.
