What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is an endodontic treatment used to extract the inner layer of the tooth known as the pulp. The tooth is then sterilized and sealed while a crown is placed over it. This allows a damaged or infected tooth’s health to be restored to prevent it from needing to be removed. Although they are among one of the most common restorative treatments, your endodontist in Buckhead, Dr. Barr only recommends it when there are no other viable options to save your tooth.

Benefits of the GentleWave Procedure

To ensure the long-term success of the treatment, Dr. Barr uses the GentleWave procedure. The innovative technology is an ultracleaning method to reach the deepest and most complex portions of the root canal system. It features a combination of advanced fluid dynamics and soundwaves to clean microscopic places within the tooth. This more effectively removes harmful bacteria, debris, and tissues that can compromise the long-term success of the treatment.

The traditional method to clean out the root canal system can leave bacteria behind. In fact, as much as 60% of it can be missed, which increases the likeliness for another root canal in the future. With GentleWave, it helps to ensure the system is fully cleaned prior to sealing your tooth with gutta-percha.

The procedure is very effective for aiding complex root canals, like those performed on the molars. The technology cleans the intricate channel to protect the nerves and blood vessels within the tooth’s anatomy.

Enjoy a Different Approach

The procedure is minimally invasive to promote patient comfort while it cleans infected root canals. It also allows more of the tooth’s structure to be preserved during the cleaning to protect its integrity. In addition, it can also reduce the length of time it takes to complete the treatment because the tooth can be sterilized and sealed in a single visit.
