Don’t be fearful of a root canal. Modern techniques, advanced technology, and soothing sedation make root canal therapy at Brush Country Dental & Specialty Center a safe, positive experience. Dr. Morgan has advanced training in endodontics, the branch of dentistry that deals with internal tooth structure. He’ll perform your root canal with a gentle touch and a focus on safety and comfort.

A root canal is a proven therapy to save an internally damaged tooth from extraction. Inside every tooth is a bundle of nerves and tissue, called the pulp. The canals that lead from the pulp to the tooth root serve the important tasks of nourishing the tooth root and carrying away toxins.

Damage to a tooth caused by injury, a deep cavity, or a crack leaves the canals susceptible to infection from bacteria. Left untreated, the infection may worsen and cause the pulp to die. In these instances, removal of the tooth and replacement with a prosthetic is your only option.

Caught early, we can eliminate the infection and save your tooth with a root canal. The doctor will remove the infected tissue, insert a biocompatible material to fill the canals, then top your tooth with a filling and a custom crown. Your tooth remains intact, and you regain comfortable oral function.

The Role of Technology

Dr. Morgan uses a surgical microscope for effective, comfortable root canals and dependable results. The microscope provides the doctor with a magnified view of internal tooth structure to locate the precise position of the canals and increase the efficiency of the root canal procedure. Using a surgical microscope, Dr. Morgan can perform even the most complex root canals with accuracy, speed, and reliability. Precisely treating the affected area results in increased comfort for you and potentially faster healing time.

Brush Country Dental & Specialty Center is the only dental office in the area offering root canal therapy performed with the precision of the surgical microscope.
