Non-Surgical Services at May River Endodontics

Non-surgical endodontics involves procedures designed to treat issues within the tooth pulp and root canals without the need for external incisions. These treatments, primarily root canal therapy, aim to remove infected or inflamed tissue, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it to prevent future problems. This approach is the most common way to save a natural tooth that has been compromised by deep decay, cracks, or injury.

• Preserve Your Natural Tooth: Non-surgical treatment allows you to keep your own tooth, which is better for biting, chewing, and maintaining the alignment of surrounding teeth. Nothing looks, feels, or functions like your natural tooth.
• Experience Minimal Discomfort: We prioritize your comfort by using advanced technology like The Wand STA for local anesthesia, which delivers a computer-controlled flow of anesthetic for a nearly painless injection. Most patients report feeling comfortable throughout their single-visit procedure.

• Achieve Efficient and Lasting Results: With modern techniques and technology, non-surgical endodontic treatment is highly successful. A restored tooth can last a lifetime with proper care, allowing you to return to your daily life quickly and with confidence.

• Root Canal Treatment: This procedure is necessary when the soft tissue inside your root canal, known as the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected. We carefully remove the pulp, clean and shape the inside of the canal, then fill and seal the space to save the tooth and relieve your discomfort.

• Endodontic Retreatment: If a tooth that has previously had a root canal fails to heal or becomes painful, it may require retreatment. This process involves reopening the tooth to remove the previous canal filling, then re-cleaning, shaping, and sealing the canals to give your tooth a second chance.
