Endodontic Treatments

Rotary Root Canal Therapy

Rotary endodontic files use a handpiece to rotate the endodontic file during root canal treatment. The advantage of rotary endodontics is reduced working time and fewer files used during the procedure. Most times the treatment is completed in one visit. Commonly nickel-titanium files are used because of their greater flexibility which permits increasingly curved roots to be treated.

Endodontics (Root Canal) Facts

  1. Endodontic treatment, often referred to as a root canal, is a common dental procedure that saves damaged teeth, which avoids having to have the tooth extracted.
  2. More than 14 million root canal procedures are performed every year in the United States.
  3. Root canal treatment is necessary when the soft inner tissue of the tooth is diseased or damaged. The tissue is removed and the root canal is cleaned, filled and sealed with a sterile, bio-compatible material.
  4. With properly performed root canal treatments, teeth function normally for a lifetime. However, after a root canal, it is necessary that the patient return to his or her dentist to have a crown or other restoration placed over the endodontically treated tooth to protect it.
  5. Endodontic treatment is usually less expensive and time consuming than having a tooth extracted and replaced with a bridge, implant or removable partial denture.
  6. New techniques in aneshesia make root canal treatment virtually painless for patients.
  7. Patients who have been advised to have teeth extracted should ask if their teeth can be saved with endodontic treatment.

I felt the need to go out of my way to applaud Dr. Burns who continuously goes out of his way to show kindness & compassion to his patients. He not only provides thorough & quality dental care, but he also establishes meaningful connections with his patients which creates a pleasant & calm atmosphere for everyone involved. As a young adult supporting myself through graduate school, I appreciate not only the reasonable prices at his practice but also Dr. Burns' complete honesty about which dental procedures are crucial - you can trust his opinion wholeheartedly as he gives advice like he is offering it to a family member. I found his practice online but you bet I recommend Dr. Burns to everyone that I know. Thank you for your support!

The new imaging technology for designing and precisely measuring dental crowns is remarkable. Although I have had no major issues previously, the recent crown 'snapped' in perfectly and immediately became part of my dental landscape.

My wife's happy, I'm happy. I don't wake up with headaches anymore and don't get tired during the day, because I am getting my full rest at night. I am very happy.

Over the years I have had a number of crowns and bridges, and I always hated the gooey impressions. The iTero eliminates all that. It is so easy and, best of all, so accurate. I have never had crowns and bridges fit better. It is an amazing mechanism.
