Non Surgical Endodontics

Non-surgical endodontic treatment, commonly known as a root canal, is performed to save a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged. At Elite Dental Group, advanced techniques and modern technology are used to ensure this procedure is efficient, precise, and comfortable.
During treatment, the infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inner chamber of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to help prevent future infection. This approach allows you to preserve your natural tooth structure while avoiding more extensive restorative procedures.

When non-surgical treatment is not sufficient, surgical endodontic procedures such as an apicoectomy may be recommended. This advanced treatment targets the tip of the tooth’s root and the surrounding tissue to remove persistent infection or address structural concerns that cannot be resolved with traditional root canal therapy.
At Elite Dental Group, surgical endodontic care is performed with meticulous precision using advanced imaging and modern surgical technology. Our approach prioritizes accuracy, effectiveness, and the long-term preservation of your natural tooth, while maintaining a strong focus on patient comfort throughout every step of the process.

Retreatment
___________________
___________________
While root canal therapy is highly successful in most cases, there are situations where a tooth may require retreatment due to new infection, lingering bacteria, or unresolved complications. When this occurs, retreatment can help preserve your natural tooth and restore optimal oral health.
At Elite Dental Group, the existing filling material is carefully removed, and the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Any previously missed or newly developed canals are identified and treated before the tooth is precisely resealed. Using advanced diagnostic tools and modern technology, the underlying cause of failure can be accurately detected and addressed with precision.
The goal of retreatment is to give your tooth the strongest possible chance for long-term success while restoring comfort, function, and confidence in your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Endodontic Treatment
What Exactly Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is necessary when a tooth becomes severely decayed or infected. During the procedure, the infected nerve and pulp are carefully removed from inside the tooth, which is then thoroughly cleaned and sealed to help prevent further infection.
At Elite Dental Group, advanced techniques and modern technology are used to ensure treatment is precise, efficient, and focused on preserving your natural tooth while restoring comfort and function.

Why Would I Need One?
If a tooth infection is left untreated, it can worsen and spread to the surrounding tissue, leading to increased pain and potentially a serious condition such as an abscess. Prompt treatment helps relieve discomfort and prevents more complex dental issues.
How Long Will Treatment Take?
Most root canal treatments are completed in one or two appointments, each lasting approximately 90 minutes. Your specific timeline will depend on the condition of the tooth and will be discussed during your consultation.
What Can I Expect After the Procedure?
It is normal to experience mild sensitivity following a root canal, which can usually be managed with over the counter acetaminophen or ibuprofen. In many cases, a crown is recommended to restore strength and structure to the treated tooth. Our team at Elite Dental Group will review your options and coordinate any additional care needed to fully restore your smile.
