Our dentists, Drs. Atusa and Ahmad Sedehi, are highly experienced in providing root canals. Gently and skillfully, they can get you back to a pain-free life and save your natural tooth. Contrary to the stigma, root canals are not designed to cause you more discomfort! They are one of our top treatments at our practice, and we use specialized dental tools and materials like the WaveOne system, GuttaCore®, and ProTaper rotary files. These tools help us treat your tooth minimally invasively by thoroughly removing the infected pulp from the canals inside your tooth, sanitizing the chambers, and filling them with gutta-percha. If your tooth structure is badly damaged, we may recommend either a post and core or a core buildup. Post and core involves inserting a small rod into the root canal to stabilize a filling (core) and attach a dental crown. A core buildup restores the missing part of the tooth so we can attach a dental crown.
