Patient Services

 

As root canal specialists, we will work with general dentists and other dental specialists to provide you with the best possible multi-disciplinary care. We pride ourselves on honesty and integrity: once we have conducted a thorough examination, we will discuss your treatment options, providing you with as much detailed information as possible. For example, we might find that a tooth is so decayed it cannot be rebuilt; we would then advise you that a root canal is not necessary. In other words, we only perform work where it is needed!

We offer the following Endodontic Treatments:

  • Non-surgical root canal therapy
  • Surgical root canal therapy
  • Endodontic re-treatment
  • Diagnosis and treatment of tooth resorption
  • Diagnosis and treatment of cracked teeth
  • Diagnosis and treatment of traumatically injured teeth
  • Bleaching of non-vital teeth
  • Post root-canal tooth buildup
  • Apexification - a series of treatments to encourage immature teeth to finish developing prior to non-surgical root canal therapy

Patient Comfort

Patient comfort is of the utmost importance to us. We are determined to change the way people think of the words "root canal!" In fact, we are changing the way people get root canals.

We offer the following measures to promote patient comfort:

  • Patient education system
  • Sedation dentistry---IV sedation to oral sedation
  • Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas)
  • Patient comfort measures---we provide our patients with DVD players, ceiling-mounted TVs, CDs, massage pads, paraffin hand treatments, juice bar, blankets/foot warmers
  • Sterilization center---we use only state-of-the-art sanitation techniques

Technology: we use the latest and the greatest

We enjoy exploring and carefully researching new developments in dental technology. We continue to provide our patients with new and improved techniques and services as they become available.

Here are some of the innovations we use to serve you better:

  • Endoscope---is a microscopic camera that can actually look inside the tooth canal! We are the only endodontic practice in Texas to have this most advanced technology.

  • Surgical microscope---using magnification, we can better search for cracks, extra canals, and other anatomical variations

  • Digital imaging---a camera system that enables both the doctor and patients to see an enlarged image of the tooth immediately. This is helpful in diagnosis of cracked teeth or fillings, calcified canals, broken instruments, etc.
  • Advanced Endodontic Systems---state-of-the-art fully-integrated endodontic equipment designed to enhance patient comfort

  • Digital radiography---a painless and precise method for taking x-rays which captures the complete anatomical structure of your tooth; a relatively radiation-free procedure

  • Intra-oral cameras---allow us to show you the problem as we diagnose it and then show you the solution once we've completed the procedure
  • Chairside computers---you can view digital imaging or the intra-oral camera work without leaving the chair
  • Digital caries detector---a highly sophisticated computer analysis of tooth density changes that provides accurate diagnosis of tooth decay
