Rotary Endodontics
Endodontics is a specialty provided to our patients as a way of treating infections and conditions of the nerves or roots of the teeth. In many cases, this means performing a root canal, which removes the tooth's pulp and nerves due to a deep infection. Rotary endodontics is a method of performing a root canal where an electric handpiece is used for a more effective, quick, and relaxing procedure.
Our dentist, Dr. Wook Kim, uses the electric tool for rotary endodontics in order to remove the infected tissues. A hole is drilled into the tooth, after which the tool helps remove the nerves, roots and tooth pulp. Afterward, it is filled with a material called gutta percha, and the tooth receives a crown after about 2-3 weeks.
Our patients find that getting a root canal is a much more comfortabl process without the sounds, vibrations, or smells of a traditional dental tool. What’s more, the combination of the technology of rotary endodontics with a local anesthetic enables us to provide a virtually painless root canal procedure for our patients. It takes about 30-45 minutes to complete the entire procedure, after which the patient can return home.
