Dentistry For You OKC – Your Trusted Source for Endodontic Excellence

At Dentistry For You OKC, we are dedicated to preserving the health and vitality of your teeth through our specialized endodontic treatments. Endodontics is a field of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of issues affecting the innermost part of your teeth, known as the dental pulp. Our skilled team of dental professionals is here to provide you with top-quality endodontic care to ensure your continued oral health.

Why Choose Endodontic Treatment?

Endodontic treatment, commonly known as a root canal procedure, becomes necessary when the dental pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. This can happen due to deep cavities, dental trauma, or other dental issues. Rather than extracting the tooth, endodontic treatment allows us to save your natural tooth, prevent further infection, and relieve your pain.

Endodontic Treatment

Common Signs You May Need Endodontic Treatment:

1. Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent and severe pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure to the tooth.
2. Pain While Resting: Pain that disrupts your sleep or persists without any apparent cause.
3. Sensitivity: Heightened sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, even after the stimulus is removed.
4. Swelling and Abscess: Swelling in the gums and the presence of a pimple-like bump near the affected tooth.
5. Discoloration: Darkening or discoloration of the tooth.

Our Endodontic Treatment Process:

1. Diagnosis: Our experienced endodontists will perform a comprehensive examination, often aided by advanced imaging like X-rays, to accurately diagnose the issue.
2. Local Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort during the procedure, we’ll administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area.
3. Access and Cleaning: We’ll access the pulp chamber, remove the infected or inflamed tissue, and meticulously clean the inside of the tooth.
4. Filling and Sealing: The cleaned space is then filled with a biocompatible material, usually gutta-percha, and sealed to prevent reinfection.
5. Restoration: Most teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment will require a dental crown to restore their strength and appearance. Our custom-made crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
