Root Canals

root canal procedure

Root canals are essential dental procedures designed to save and restore teeth that have become severely infected or decayed. In this process, the damaged area of the tooth is removed, the root canal is cleaned and disinfected, then it is filled and sealed to prevent further damage. People experiencing tooth pain, cold sensitivity, swelling, or tenderness in their gums are ideal candidates for root canal. This treatment is crucial as it not only relieves pain but also helps maintain the tooth’s integrity, preventing the need for extraction.

At our practice, we offer both traditional root canal treatments and the innovative GentleWave System by Sonendo. We take pride in being the sole general dentist practice in Arizona to provide the GentleWave option, typically available only at specialist endodontic practices at higher fees. The GentleWave System represents a cutting-edge approach in endodontic treatment, delivering exceptional cleaning and disinfection of the root canal system with minimal instrumentation. This advanced technology is less invasive than traditional methods, preserving more of the tooth’s structure. Patients benefit from reduced post-operative pain and faster healing.

If you’re experiencing dental discomfort or have been advised to undergo a root canal, we invite you to consider the superior care offered by 24th Street Dental Biltmore in Phoenix, AZ. Our expertise in both traditional and GentleWave root canal treatments ensures you receive the best care tailored to your needs.
