THE ROOT CANAL PROCEDURE: WHAT TO EXPECT

Count on our trusted dentists to have your tooth back to its old, healthy self in no time

If you require a root canal, our knowledgeable staff at Nu Dentistry Cypress will make sure the procedure is quick and painless. The normal length of a root canal is two visits. The infected pulp tissue and nerve will be removed during the initial procedure, which may need removing one or more whole roots. Once the tooth is free of cavities, we will clean it and fill it with gutta-percha, a rubbery substance that seals your inner tooth and guards it against further deterioration. Then, utilizing scans, X-rays, and molds, we will make a digital impression of your tooth. This enables us to create a dental crown that completely restores your tooth's appearance, feel, and bite. Your crown will strengthen your tooth's defenses because it won't have the pulp to maintain it healthy and robust. Our dentists will fit you with a temporary filling or crown while the crown is being made because it will take some time. Once the permanent crown is ready to be fitted, you'll return for a second appointment, which will keep your tooth secure and in excellent condition for many years to come. Are root canals painful? Not with our knowledgeable team of endodontists on your side! Although root canals may not have the best reputation, we can completely numb your tooth down to the root using local anesthetic, ensuring that you won't experience any pain while we work. For even more comfort and relaxation, we also offer dental sedation solutions. At Nu Dentistry Cypress, we're totally committed to giving each and every one of our patients a wonderful, stress-free experience.

Don't put off getting a root canal until it's too late to save your tooth! Call(832) 930-7747 to make an appointment with our endodontic team right away.

The most frequent dental emergency is tooth extraction. You might need to have your teeth pulled for a variety of reasons. A tooth extraction may be necessary if you have significant decay, damage, crowding, or other complicated issues. A tooth extraction fixes the dental issue quickly and painlessly. You can also get tooth replacement options from qualified dentists.

Fortunately, dental professionals can offer care that can slow the spread of gum disease and assist in restoring oral health.

Your total root canal cost, including crown, will depend on the cavity’s severity and location and the type of dental crown. For example, front teeth, which have only a single root, are less costly than molars, which can have up to three roots. Additionally, all-porcelain crowns will be more costly than metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. For a more precise estimate of your treatment’s cost, please contact our office at (832) 930-7747  to schedule a financial consultation.

Most patients know to go to a dentist once they start feeling a toothache. However, severe cavities can destroy enough of the tooth’s pulp and nerves that all tooth pain disappears. This can be a sign that your tooth is about to die or has already died. If your tooth suddenly goes numb, please see our dentist as soon as you can for immediate root canal treatment. With quick action, we have a greater chance of saving your tooth. Otherwise, the tooth will need to be extracted.

After root canal treatment, your teeth will be weaker and more brittle, and they will need to be sealed and reinforced with a dental restoration. The best way is with a dental crown, which protects your entire tooth and is made from strong and sturdy materials like porcelain and metal. However, in many cases, a dental filling can still be used instead of a crown, but it won’t be as durable or long-lasting. Crowns are especially recommended for back teeth like molars, which need to withstand the full force of your bite.

Depending on the severity and location of your root canal infection, our endodontist team can clear your tooth of all decay in 30 minutes to 90 minutes. Teeth with multiple infected roots, which can often happen with molars, typically land on the higher end of the scale. After a temporary crown has been placed, you will need a second visit to place your permanent crown and fully seal the tooth.

In general, yes. We only need local anesthetic to fully numb your tooth for a root canal. Patients who request nitrous oxide can still drive themselves after their procedure as well because the sedative wears off quickly once the mask has been removed. However, if you need oral or IV sedation, you will need to plan ahead and have a friend or family member pick you up after your appointment.

If you have the choice of a root canal vs. extraction, we always recommend a root canal instead. Root canals allow you to save your tooth, which keeps your smile brighter and healthier better than even the best replacement tooth. However, sometimes, the root canal infection has spread too far, and even root canal treatment can’t preserve the tooth. In these cases, your tooth will need to be removed.

The Best Dentist In Cypress, Texas
Sandra Archuleta

We have been looking for a family dentist for a long time, we have tried a bunch of places but nothing felt quite like home. Not too long ago we stumbled upon Nu Dentistry and met Dr. Ali. Not only was he professional, kind, and gentle, but he always finds a way to fit us in when we need an appointment. He’s also pretty funny! I appreciate that he takes the time to explain what he’s doing, before he does it. That really puts me at ease.

Anxiety Has Kept Me Away

I usually have such huge anxiety when I go to a dentist appointment, which means I always put off visits until the last minute to disastrous consequences. However, Dr. Loggins helped me with sedation, so the entire process was a breeze!
