Best Root Canal Specialist Queens NY

Root canal treatment is a common dental procedure performed to address issues with the inner tooth structure, known as the dental pulp. When this sensitive area becomes infected or inflamed, a root canal specialist, or endodontist, plays a crucial role in restoring the tooth’s health and function.

Both Dr. Rafael Roman Boruchov and Dr. Shamuel Ilyayev have received advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the dental pulp. They possess specialized skills and expertise in performing complex root canal procedures, which involve the removal of the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.

During a root canal treatment at Gentle Dental Family Care, we will first thoroughly examine the affected tooth, using advanced imaging techniques to assess the extent of the problem. We then carefully remove the diseased or damaged pulp, meticulously cleaning and disinfecting the inner tooth structure to eliminate any remaining bacteria or infection.

Following the removal of the pulp, we will shape and prepare the root canals, ensuring they are properly sealed to prevent the reentry of harmful microorganisms. This process is crucial in preserving the natural tooth and preventing the need for extraction.

In cases where the tooth has suffered extensive damage or the infection has spread, we may recommend additional treatments, such as the placement of a dental crown or other restorative measures, to protect the tooth and restore its functionality.

Endodontists play a vital role in maintaining the overall health and well-being of a patient’s teeth and gums. Their expertise and specialized training make them essential in the management of complex dental issues, ensuring patients receive the highest quality of care and the best possible outcomes.

It’s important to see a root canal specialist as soon as possible if you’re experiencing the following symptoms:

• Severe, throbbing toothache
• Increased sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
• Swelling or tenderness in the gums around the affected tooth
• A bad taste in the mouth
• A pimple-like bump on the gum

Delaying treatment can allow the infection to spread, leading to more serious complications. With proper treatment, a tooth that has undergone a root canal can often be saved and restored to full function. Don’t hesitate to make an appointment if you’re experiencing any of the above symptoms. Alleviate your discomfort and preserve your oral health today.

During a root canal procedure, our specialists typically follow these steps:

1. Examination and diagnosis: This is where we thoroughly examine the affected tooth and take X-rays to determine the extent of the problem and develop a treatment plan.
2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the treatment area and ensure the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure.
3. Pulp removal: Next we will create an opening in the tooth to access the inner pulp chamber and carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp.
4. Cleaning and shaping: The inner tooth is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and the root canals are shaped to prepare for the final restoration.
5. Obturation: The cleaned and shaped root canals are filled with a biocompatible material, typically a rubber-like substance called gutta-percha, to seal the tooth and prevent further infection.
6. Restoration: Depending on the extent of the damage, we may place a temporary or permanent filling, or a dental crown, to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.

In some cases, additional procedures, such as an apicoectomy (removal of the root tip) or the placement of a dental implant, may be necessary. Our dental experts will guide the patient through the entire process and provide instructions for proper post-treatment care and pain management.

Root canal treatment has come a long way in recent years, with specialists utilizing cutting-edge techniques and technology to provide patients with more comfortable and effective procedures. From modern root canal treatment to options like root canals with crowns or dental implants, root canal specialists are employing a range of advanced methods to restore oral health.

• Dental Imaging: One key advancement is the use of specialized dental imaging, such as 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), which allows specialists to get a detailed view of the tooth’s internal structure. This helps them precisely identify and treat any issues.
• Surgical Microscopes: Root canal specialists may utilize surgical microscopes for enhanced visibility during the procedure.
• Additional Treatments: For patients who require additional treatment, options like root canals with crowns or dental implants are available. These approaches can help strengthen the tooth and prevent future problems.
• Various Sedation Techniques: Root canal specialists may also offer sedation techniques to ensure a pain-free and relaxing experience.

Overall, the field of root canal treatment has evolved significantly, with specialists leveraging the latest tools and methods to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care. Individuals in need of root canal therapy can feel confident our root canal specialists are well versed and equipped with the latest procedures and technologies.
