Root Canal Therapy in Albany
Root Canal Treatment Step by Step
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for dental implants or bridges.
At the center of your tooth is soft tissue called dental pulp. The pulp is a collection of connective tissue, blood vessels, nerve fibers, and other cells that help to build the surrounding tooth during childhood. Once the tooth is fully mature, the pulp has no significant function.
If this pulp becomes inflamed for infected, pain and swelling may develop. Symptoms may appear as visible swelling, sensitivity to temperature, tenderness to biting, or pain in the tooth and/or jaw. If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical endodontic treatment (root canal treatment) to eliminate the diseased pulp.
After completely numbing your tooth, Dr. Aibel or Dr. Moshman gently removes the inflamed or infected pulp from inside of the roots, carefully cleans and shapes the center space in the root, and then seals the space. After the procedure, you will return to your dentist who will place a crown or other restoration on the tooth in order to protect and restore it to full function. Your tooth will continue to function like any other tooth.
Root canal treatment is usually completed in one visit, however, multiple visits may be needed depending on the complexity of the treatment and the nature of the pathology. Success for this type of treatment is extremely high. If Drs. Aibel or Moshman determines that your tooth is not amenable to endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you will be informed at the time of consultation or when a complication becomes evident during or after treatment.

This was my first root canal, and I was very nervous beforehand. The staff put me at ease, answered all of my questions, and the procedure was fairly quick and not painful. I would recommend Dr. Aibel without hesitation.

Our Latest Patient Testimonial By Roberta W
My regular dentist sent me to Dr. Aibel for a complicated root canal. When I saw him he was honest and said that he wasn’t sure he could save the tooth. He would have to get in there and see if it could be saved with a root canal or if it needed to be extracted. I gave the ok so he numbed me up and he began the procedure. A little while later after some minor drilling and absolutely no pain he took off the plastic garb from my face.I said well can you save it with a root canal? To my amazement he said “I just did”. Its all over. I was amazed. This man is incredible. Gentle, kind. I can’t say enough good things about him and his assistant and his staff. I highly recommend this practice . Will be going back for any other problems.
