Root Canal Treatment in Bonney Lake

Root Canal at Bonney Lake, WA

Here at Dentistry at Bonney Lake, we understand the importance of preserving your natural teeth. Our root canal treatment is a critical service for teeth that are severely decayed, infected, or damaged, offering a lifeline to save your teeth from extraction. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your comfort and the longevity of your dental health through advanced root canal therapy.

Procedure Details

Root canal therapy begins with the dentist gaining access to the pulp chamber within the crown of the tooth, revealing the root canals. The infected nerve tissue is carefully removed, and the canals are meticulously shaped using special instruments to ensure all pulp tissue and infection are eradicated.

The canals are then sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent future infections. Given the tooth’s tendency to become brittle post-treatment, we recommend restoring the tooth with a crown to protect it against fractures.

Risks / Benefits

Root canal therapy is complex due to the unique anatomical variations in each tooth’s canal system. This treatment poses challenges, but our skilled dental team, including referrals to expert Endodontists when necessary, ensures the highest success rate.

The primary benefit of undergoing root canal therapy is the preservation of the natural tooth, preventing the spread of infection and further dental complications.

Recovery and Outlook

After root canal therapy, it is normal to experience some sensitivity or discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days. We advise eating soft foods and avoiding chewing on the treated tooth until a permanent crown is placed. Our team will guide you through the recovery process, ensuring a swift and comfortable return to your daily activities.

Additional Common Questions

How can I avoid needing a root canal?

Regular dental checkups, proper oral hygiene, and protecting your teeth from injuries are the best ways to prevent conditions that may necessitate root canal therapy.

What happens if I delay treatment?

Delaying root canal treatment can lead to tooth loss, spread of infection to other teeth or jawbone, and increased pain.

Do root canals hurt?

Modern techniques and anesthesia ensure that root canal treatment is as comfortable as possible. Discomfort after the procedure is usually minimal and manageable.
