We handle everything right here in our office, and you’ll never worry about surprise fees showing up later.
What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy saves severely infected or damaged teeth by removing the infected pulp tissue from inside the tooth’s root chambers. Think of it as cleaning out the tooth’s interior plumbing system. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels that can become infected due to deep decay, repeated dental work, or trauma. Instead of pulling the tooth, root canal treatment eliminates the infection while preserving your natural tooth structure. At PureDent Plainview, we use advanced techniques and work with American labs exclusively to ensure the best possible outcomes for every root canal case.
How Does the Root Canal Process Work?
Your root canal appointment starts with Dr. Adhami taking detailed X-rays and sometimes using our CBCT scanner to see exactly what’s happening inside your tooth. His engineering mindset really shines here – he approaches each root canal like solving a technical puzzle, mapping out the most efficient way to clean every canal thoroughly.
After numbing the area completely, he creates a small access hole in the top of your tooth to reach the infected pulp. Using specialized instruments, he carefully removes all the infected tissue from the main chamber and root canals. Each canal gets thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare for filling. Dr. Adhami takes his time during this step because missed areas can lead to future problems. Once everything’s clean, he seals the canals with a biocompatible material and places a temporary filling. Most patients need a crown afterward to protect the treated tooth, which we can handle right here without sending you elsewhere.
