Endodontics: Root Canal Therapy for Tooth Preservation
One of our specializations at Dr. John Walker’s Family Dental Practice is the science of endodontics. We take pride in being a trusted name in root canal therapy in Johnstown, PA. This procedure involves saving and sustaining the use of a decayed or diseased natural tooth to prevent the need for a bridge or dental implant. It is also one of the most common dental procedures performed.
Root canal therapy starts by removing soft tissue (i.e., dental pulp) from the center of the diseased tooth. The resulting empty space is then cleaned, disinfected, filled, and sealed. Sometimes, a tooth may show little or no symptoms, even when it is already decaying. However, in most instances, sharp pain prompts patients to schedule a root canal therapy appointment with their dentist.
Our highly trained dental team takes the time to ensure the administered local anesthesia meets your comfort level. As with any medical procedure, experience yields excellence. We have performed root canals for 30 years. If you are experiencing any of the common symptoms we listed, contact Dr. John Walker’s Family Dental Practice today. You can also call us for information about our oral dental surgery services.
