Root Canal

Save Your Natural Tooth with Root Canal Treatment

Root canal therapy is a common treatment used to help save a natural tooth that might otherwise need to be removed. While Vassey Dental Partners does not perform root canal procedures in-house, we work closely with trusted specialists in our community to ensure you receive the care you need.

The root canal is the natural cavity located at the center of a tooth. Soft tissue (pulp) and the tooth’s nerve are inside the root canal. If this area becomes damaged, debris or bacteria can enter, resulting in an infection, or in more severe cases, an abscess. An abscessed tooth is a severe condition where the tooth is full of pus with the infection expanding beyond the root of the tooth. This condition must be treated promptly to prevent the infection from migrating to other parts of the body. If you have an abscessed tooth, we offer emergency root canal dentistry to solve the issue.

What to Expect from a Root Canal Treatment Session

Although we do not perform root canal therapy at our Peachtree City office, our team will evaluate your dental needs and guide you through the next steps. If treatment is necessary, we will take initial x-rays to assess the condition of your tooth and refer you to a local endodontist—a dental specialist who performs root canals.

The experts we refer to are highly experienced and dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care, so you can feel confident and comfortable throughout the treatment process.

Root canal therapy may require more than one visit. Root canal therapy is offered with the aid of sedation dentistry, which can calm and relax the patient. Following the application of any sedation, the dentist creates an access hole into the tooth. Then, any tissue that is infected plus the damaged nerve and other debris are removed from the tooth. The root canal is then cleaned and polished thoroughly.

To protect the tooth between appointments, it may be sealed temporarily. In the final stage, a biocompatible material called gutta-percha is used to fill the canal. A filling is placed to seal the access point, or a crown may be placed to restore strength and function.

Root canal dentistry has a bad reputation for being a painful procedure. The procedure itself is often no more painful than having a dental filling. The pain and discomfort come from the actual infection itself. Patients will experience significant relief after undergoing root canal therapy. Root canals have a success rate of 95% and allow people to preserve their natural teeth.

Step 3

Take Action. During your first treatment at Vassey Dental Partners, you will be prepared from start to finish. We take the time to answer any treatment questions, utilize a wealth of resources to make you comfortable in the chair, and prepare you for the estimated out of pocket costs prior to treatment. If you have dental anxiety, we will go over several options that will help you have the most comfortable dental experience as possible. Options include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and IV sedation.

Step 4

Follow Up & Long Term Care. Our goal is to take care of any necessary treatment and then to have you on scheduled recall visits to have your teeth cleaned. At this visit, we will monitor your periodontal health, complete periodic exams and annual xrays, so that we can diagnose conservative treatment.

Fantastic first time visit. Friendly, Professional and caring for details. Never had a dentist ever do work up on jawline, gums, bone, and explain it to me in a way I could understand. The place is easy to find and it's very big and well staffed.

Fabulous practice! I have to add, my son chipped his tooth, he’s still at a fabulous pediatric dentist whom we love. They, however, don’t see patients for chips on Fridays. Even though my son isn’t a current patient, my husband and I are patients, they were able to squeeze him in the next day so he didn’t have to deal with it all weekend. Amazing customer service! They genuinely care about their patients and their families!
