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.

Our Latest Patient Testimonial By Javier M

I was apprehensive about coming in at first, but the entire experience really blew me away. Katie and Doctor Aibel were top notch, answering all of my questions, providing top notch care, and ensuring my comfort throughout the entire procedure. The front desk staff were excellent with answering all of my questions pre appointment, billing was very easy. I would recommend anyone to come here, and I most certainly will be back if the need arises. Thank you so much!

Our Latest Patient Testimonial By Sara B

Fantastic experience with Dr. Aibel and his staff. I came in for an emergency procedure (in nearly the worst pain of my life), and he was able to squeeze me and get me out of pain immediately. My return visit went well, and I had no pain or problems between visits. He was professional, kind, and clearly skilled. I very much appreciate the effort, time, and compassion of Dr. Aibel, his dental assistance, and the front desk staff in helping me with what was the most painful dental experience of my life!
