At Bonaventure Dental Care, we view root canals as a positive, tooth-saving solution. Our expert team in Baton Rouge, LA, specializes in transforming these necessary procedures into comfortable, stress-free experiences, preserving your natural tooth structure and relieving pain to deliver the best results for you as gently as possible.
What Are Root Canals?
Root canal therapy is necessary when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or damaged due to decay, repeated dental procedures or injury. By removing the infected pulp and sealing the tooth, a root canal can save the tooth from extraction and alleviate your pain.
What Is The Root Canal Process?
Our approach to root canal treatment involves a series of straightforward steps to deliver the best possible outcome to you.
Diagnosis and Planning: We begin with a thorough examination and X-rays to determine the extent of infection in your tooth and plan the treatment accordingly.
Pain-Free Treatment: With local anesthesia, the procedure is typically no more painful than a filling. We make sure you’re comfortable from start to finish.
Restoration: After the root canal, your tooth is sealed and typically restored with a crown to maintain its strength and function.
We Believe In Healing Your Pain
Skill and Precision: Our experienced Bonaventure team uses the latest advancements in dental technology to provide precise and efficient root canal treatments for you.
Comfort-Focused Care: We prioritize your comfort and employ sedation options to minimize anxiety, creating a relaxed experience.
Long-Term Results: A successful root canal offers a long-lasting solution, preserving your natural smile and oral health.
Our commitment to your care is reflected in our feedback. One grateful patient shared, “I was nervous about my root canal, but Dr. Bonaventure and his team made it so smooth. I’m pain-free and couldn’t be happier with the result!”
You Deserve Comfortable Dentistry
You may need a root canal if you have a deep cavity, cracked or broken tooth, or if your tooth has experienced trauma. Symptoms can include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, and swelling.
Root canals have a reputation for being painful, but advances in dental technology and anesthesia mean that most people experience little to no discomfort. A treated and restored tooth can last a lifetime with proper care.
During the procedure, the infected or damaged pulp is removed, and the inside of your tooth is cleaned and sealed. Oftentimes, a crown is placed afterward for added protection and restored function.
The procedure typically takes one or two appointments, depending on the severity of the infection and the specific tooth being treated. Our team will discuss the timeline with you and what you can expect during your visit.
After your root canal, you may experience some mild discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. It’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene and schedule regular dental check-ups with our Bonaventure Dental Care team to protect the longevity of your treated tooth.
