Root Canal Treatment at Lompoc Dental & Associates

Gentle and Effective Root Canal Treatment in Lompoc, CA

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure designed to remove infection from the inside of a tooth, alleviating pain and saving the tooth from extraction. At Lompoc Dental & Associates, we understand that the thought of a root canal can be intimidating for many patients. That’s why we are committed to providing a gentle, comfortable experience while using the latest techniques and technology to ensure the best outcomes.

WHY MIGHT YOU NEED A ROOT CANAL?

Root canal therapy is often recommended for teeth that have become infected or severely decayed. Symptoms indicating the need for a root canal can include:

Severe toothache pain upon chewing or application of pressure
Prolonged sensitivity/pain to heat or cold temperatures
Discoloration of the tooth
Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums
A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums

We prioritize your comfort throughout the procedure, ensuring that you feel relaxed and informed every step of the way.

Minimally Invasive Techniques: We utilize the latest dental technologies to perform root canals that are as minimally invasive as possible, promoting quicker recovery times and less discomfort during and after the procedure.
High Success Rate: Root canal treatment has a high success rate and often allows the tooth to last a lifetime with proper care.
Customized Care: We tailor every treatment to meet the individual needs and preferences of our patients, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Diagnosis: Our team will conduct a thorough examination, including digital X-rays, to determine the extent of the infection.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia will be administered to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.
The Procedure: The infected or inflamed pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected. Then, it is filled and sealed with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. Afterwards, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling for protection and will continue to function like any other tooth.
Recovery: Recovery from a root canal is usually quick, with most patients returning to their normal activities the next day. We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
