Root Canal

In dentistry, root canal treatment is often a love-and-hate relationship for a dentist. Granted, it is one of the most expensive dental procedures.  However, numbing of a extremely painful tooth can be stressful to the dentist, plus the delicate nature of the procedure, when one mishap could potentially block the canals for good.   So it is SO important that the dentist do the root canal right THE FIRST TIME.   It is often difficult to impossible to repair a botched root canal. At American Dental Centre, all patients can have a BEFORE-and-AFTER photo of their root canal treatment done so they can have the peace of mind about the quality of the fill.  While our dentist is not an endodontist, he strives to have the quality that rivals the precision of a specialist, at a significantly less cost. We also re-treat failed root canal treatment so that the tooth can be saved.  We do complicated root canals, normally takes 2-3 visit, in as little as an hour. rct Photo: This Korean patient had root canal done years ago, presented to our office complaint of pain when chewing.  3 hours later, the previous root canal filling was removed, thoroughly cleaned, and re-filled using magnification.  Symptom subsided after treatment.
