A root canal is a hollow area on the inside of the tooth that contains a combination of blood vessels, nerves and soft tissue, which together is called the “pulp.” When these tissues become infected, pain, swelling and abscesses can result and the tooth is in danger of being lost. The infection can additionally spread to other parts of the jaw if not treated.

Dr. Chantry can perform root canal therapy to remove the infection and preserve the tooth. He is very experienced in this treatment and uses high-tech equipment and instrumentation to make the procedure fast, comfortable and minimally invasive. For 95 percent of our patients, he is able to complete the entire treatment in one visit, including placing the final crown that goes on top of the treated tooth.

How Root Canal Therapy Works

During root canal therapy, the canal is accessed through the top of the tooth. The tissue inside the canal is then removed down to the bottom of the root, after which the empty canal is thoroughly disinfected. The canal is then filled with a sterile, rubber-like material to seal it and prevent any future infection.

After the tooth has been completely filled, a dental crown is placed on the tooth to restore full function. This is necessary because a tooth that has had all its nerves removed is no longer alive, and consequently is far more prone to cracking or breaking. A crown will provide the added strength your tooth needs to continue functioning for a long time, perhaps even for the rest of your life.

High-Tech, One-Visit Root Canals

Dr. Chantry uses special handpieces which allow him to clean out the canal thoroughly and efficiently. He wears surgical magnification eyeglasses to see all of the canals in great detail, guaranteeing both precision and speed. He also uses a high-tech measuring device to locate the precise end of the tooth root so no infection is missed and treatment does not go unnecessarily past the root.

Because of our in-office CEREC^® dental computer-aided design and manufacturing system in our Yuba City and Elk Grove locations, Dr. Chantry is able to design, fabricate and place a perfectly fitting and aesthetic final crown over your treated tooth in the same visit. The entirety of your treatment can generally be completed in less than two hours.
