San Francisco
When your teeth need restorative care, partnering with a board certified dentist can mean the difference between a healthy smile and a necessary extraction. At Uno Dental, we can create a comprehensive treatment plan in the comfort of our luxurious, state-of-the-art San Francisco office.
When infection spreads beyond your tooth’s enamel and into the underlying tissues, it can become a risk to your health. That’s when you’ll require some expert restorative care from your dentist so you can enjoy healthy tooth function and a complete smile for the long term. Restorative procedures can be anxiety-inducing for some people, so our team will make sure you’re comfortable and informed about your best options for your oral health.
A root canal is one of the best ways to remove infection from the deeper layers of the tooth and potentially save it from needing extraction. The goal of a root canal is to remove the infected pulp underneath the enamel and then clean and disinfect the tooth against bacteria. During a root canal, our goal is to make sure you’re comfortable and enjoy the highest level of confidence in your smile and our restorative care team.
Why Choose a Root Canal at Uno Dental San Francisco?
Root canals are often necessary when decay reaches an advanced stage and affects the underlying tissues of the tooth. At this stage, it’s normal to experience some discomfort and extreme sensitivity in the tooth, so a root canal is one of the best ways to relieve pain and save the natural tooth from further damage. If left untreated, an oral infection can spread to the jaw and other important areas of the head, causing some severe health concerns.
A root canal is a serious procedure, but it’s important to know that root canal techniques are more advanced and comfortable than ever, so partnering with a board certified dentist can help you feel comfortable in your treatment plan. During your appointment with Dr. Kandar, we’ll take time to discuss your concerns and make sure you understand the right options for you and your smile. We offer a variety of cosmetic treatments that can help you feel comfortable with the appearance of your teeth so you can enjoy a comprehensive treatment plan with a pampered experience and quality, customized care.
What Can I Expect During Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a common procedure, so you can relax and enjoy quick and easy treatment at our San Francisco office. We’ll begin by walking you through the treatment process and preparing your tooth for the procedure. Then, you’ll be given anesthesia in the comfort of our luxurious office. Once you’re ready, an opening is made in the crown of the tooth that gives Dr. Kandar access to the underlying tissues, or the “pulp.” Specialized instruments are used to clean the pulp from the chamber and remove any infection. Once the tooth is cleansed, a special filling is placed inside the tooth before it’s sealed up.
You’ll return for another appointment to check how your tooth is healing, as well as begin the process of crown placement to protect the tooth going forward.
How Can I Get the Best Results from My Root Canal Treatment?
Taking care of your teeth with good at-home care is the best way to maintain your root canal results. This means brushing twice daily and flossing once daily, as well as avoiding sugar. You should also see Dr. Kandar regularly for a professional cleaning to ensure your teeth stay healthy and free of infection. It’s possible for infection to return to a tooth treated with a root canal, so Dr. Kandar will ensure you know what to look for and your options for re-treatment. As always, our team is here to help you succeed with your oral health and maintain your confidence in your smile for the long term.
