Root Canal Therapy in Sun City, Sun City West, and Litchfield Park, Arizona
A root canal doesn’t have to be intimidating. To remove the infected center of a tooth and replace it with an inert material, our dentists must perform a root canal.
This can be an intimidating procedure for some patients, but our Sun City dentists can alleviate your worries during a consultation at either of our Burns Dentistry locations. What is a root canal?
At Burns Dentistry in Sun City root canal treatment is a type of endodontic therapy that is often recommended if the tooth pulp and nerves become infected or damaged.
This may occur if injury or decay reaches deep into the tooth, past the outer enamel layer. When left untreated, this type of infection and disease may cause the tooth to die and necessitate tooth extraction.
To restore the health of the tooth and avoid the need for extraction, our skilled dentist will remove the infected and injured tissues from within the tooth, clean the tooth, and fill it with a medicated material. We will then cap the tooth with a restoration, such as a dental crown, to return the tooth to its original shape and structure. In most cases, a root canal can be completed in only one or two comfortable visits to our office.
Root canal treatment has a reputation for being a painful treatment. In reality, however, root canal treatment can often be completed with minimal discomfort thanks to advanced techniques, tools, and anesthesia.
Our dentist, along with our entire dental team, works hard to provide you with a pleasant, comfortable experience each time you visit our office. To learn more about root canal treatment in Sun City, we welcome you to contact us today. We are committed to restoring your smile’s health.
