Root Canals
When the inside of a tooth suffers damage from injury, decay, or disease, Dr. Reiner will likely suggest root canal therapy. Fortunately for our patients, a root canal procedure doesn't have to be a long, unpleasant ordeal. In most cases, Dr. Reiner can complete the root canal in a single visit, with minimal discomfort to the patient.
Your teeth have a solid outer surface, a layer of dentin, and the soft inside of the tooth, called the pulp, or nerve center. The pulp contains blood vessels and tissues that keep your teeth alive. If the pulp sustains trauma from a break, crack, or large cavity, you will need root canal therapy to save the tooth.
During a root canal, Dr. Reiner removes the infected tissue, places a man-made filler inside, and seals the tooth. Dr. Reiner may recommend a permanent crown to renew the tooth's strength and stability. The apex locator, an instrument that assists us in locating the tip of your tooth, and the Nickel Titanium Greater Taper method, which is regarded as superior to traditional root canal therapy, help us keep our patients stress-free and comfortable during treatment.
