THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

AFFORDABLE ROOT CANAL DENTIST: LAKE LANIER SMILES

“You need a root canal treatment”…”NOO!” The words most patients dread. Contrary to this, modern root canal treatment procedures are comfortable once numbed well during the appointment. Root canal treatment must be conducted once an inflammation or infection is detected inside and around the tooth.








CAUSES FOR ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

1.      Deep decay spreading into the nerve of the tooth.
2.      Deep filling of a tooth
3.      Trauma to the tooth
4.      Fracture or crack or chip in the tooth
5.      Intentional treatment in some cases like supraerupted teeth






STEP BY STEP ROOT CANAL PROCEDURE

1.      The tooth is numbed by local anesthesia
2.      Tooth is isolated with Rubber sheet called Rubber dam
3.      All the decay is removed
4.      A small access opening is done to reach the inside of the tooth.
5.      Hand and machine files are used to clean the inside of the tooth
6.      The cleaned space is filled with rubber like material called Guttapercha
7.      The access is closed with permanent filling
8.      Most of the root canal treated teeth needs crown for protection from fracture







WHY SHOULD I GET ROOT CANAL DONE

1.      Restore Chewing capacity
2.      Can have your own tooth with sensations
3.      Prevents other teeth/ adjacent teeth from shifting
4.      Preserve the natural position or appearance
5.      Restores your smile

WHAT IS THE COST FOR A ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

The cost of the root canal treatment varies based on the location of the tooth and how complex the tooth canal system is.  At Lake Lanier Smiles we accept most dental insurances and use the insurance benefits for the treatment.

For Non-Insured patients, Lake Lanier Smiles offers good discounts for root canal treatments. Special prices for root canal treatments are as follows.

FRONT TEETH ROOT CANAL TREATMENT: $499 (Regular Price: $800)
PREMOLAR TEETH ROOT CANAL TREATMENT: $599 (Regular Price: $900)
MOLAR TEETH ROOT CANAL TREATMENT: $699 (Regular Price: $1000)




POST OP INSTRUCTIONS AFTER ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

1.      Do not chew hard food on the root canal treated tooth until a crown is placed.
2.      Do not chew until anesthesia wears off.
3.      Sometimes a temporary filling might be placed, needs a permanent restoration.
4.      Discomfort/ slight pain can be managed after the treatment with OTC pain medicines.
5.      If antibiotics are prescribed, then take them as prescribed.
6.      Please consult the dentist or call us at 770-831-0559 if pain continues or swelling is seen.
