Root Canals

Infected teeth are a thing of the past.

Grosse Pointe’s Advanced Root Canal Therapy

Severely decayed and rotted teeth can cause you immense pain and discomfort. Rather than enduring the pain, brushing harder, and adjusting your daily habits to accommodate the infection, consider a root canal. This effective treatment can relieve your pain and restore your oral health, allowing you to return to your normal routine. The dentists at My Family Dental Grosse Pointe specialize in root canal therapy, offering expert care for every patient.

By removing the infected tissue and sealing the area, we can save your natural tooth and prevent the need for more extensive dental work in the future. While root canals have been known for being painful dental treatments, the professionals at My Family Dental have perfected their advanced techniques to make the entire experience more comfortable and efficient than ever.

Understand the Root Canal Process

When a tooth becomes severely infected, the nerve and pulp are affected, causing swelling, pain when chewing, and increased sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures. A root canal is designed to remove the damaged areas, preventing the need for a complete tooth extraction. At My Family Dental Grosse Pointe, we perform this treatment in two different stages to allow for optimal healing.

During the first appointment, we’ll take a digital X-ray to determine the extent of the damage and administer a local anesthetic. We’ll then use a specialized drill to remove all bacteria and rot, applying a medicated filling to the treatment area once it’s been cleaned out. Finally, a temporary crown will be placed while you await a second appointment.

During your second visit, we’ll replace the temporary crown with a customized, permanent restoration. Our dentists will make sure the crown fits your tooth properly and looks as natural as your other teeth. From there, you’ll be free to eat, drink, and smile normally without worrying about pain and discomfort.
