At Root Canal Specialists of Baton Rouge, LA, our team can treat smiles with digital x-rays and more!
When You Need a Root Canal
When should you consider a visit to our team for endodontic treatment? When you begin to experience pain in your tooth, such as persistent sensitivity when you eat or drink, or a toothache that doesn’t subside after a day or two, this could mean serious decay or even an infection. Treatment is crucial for avoiding worsening pain and the risk of losing the tooth altogether, which could allow infection to spread. Our team can conduct endodontic treatments to remove these impacted tissues and restore your tooth to optimal health, function, and appearance. To ensure treatment with precision, our team will employ advanced technology.
Advanced Imaging Technology
Our team employs a number of advanced imaging systems to aid in the treatment process. For example, we can use a dental surgical microscope to magnify the portions of the root canals, so we can remove all tissues with precision and accuracy, preventing reinfection or contamination down the road.
We also have cone beam computed tomography, or CBCT, which allows our team to gather detailed, 3D images of your tooth, root, and jawbone structure, so we can diagnose your smile as a whole. The system uses a fraction of the radiation that other imaging systems require and makes for a thorough diagnostic and treatment planning process.
Finally, we have digital x-rays, which use 90% less radiation and don’t require you to use bitewings. The images will be available instantly on a chairside monitor, with no need to wait for development, and they again make it easier to conduct a more detailed examination and create a custom treatment plan.
Ultrasonics
Our team can use ultrasonics as part of your endodontic procedure, as this technology employs high-frequency vibrations that allow us to find hidden canals and ensure we remove all tissues from the interior of your tooth. If you have any questions about the technology we use, then contact our team today to learn more.
