Our Waco Root Canals Preserve Your Teeth

If you mention a root canal, many people will run the other way, at least in their minds. Root canal treatment has been made out to be the “bad guy” of dentistry, when it is actually very beneficial. Waco root canals, especially from the skilled team at Starr General Dentistry, are no more uncomfortable than getting a tooth filled. In fact, they can:

Comfortable Restorations

Root canals are probably my very favorite thing in dentistry. There is nothing more rewarding than getting someone out of pain. When a patient is in pain they're distraught, they're upset, they're hurting, oftentimes they haven't slept and being able to numb someone and get them out of pain and do it in a quick manner is a great service that we offer here at our office.

There are a couple of reasons why someone would need a root canal. You can have a cracked tooth, you could have a inflammation within the tooth that can not be resolved without our intervention, or you can have an abscess tooth or necrotic tooth, which means that the nerve space or root canal system of that tooth has died. So it's filled with bacteria and the only way to relieve your pain is take the tooth out or do a root canal. If you were to take the tooth out, you run into some other problems of other teeth shifting and so if you can save your tooth, there's nothing better than having your own tooth.

  • Stop the pain from a nagging toothache
  • Repair and save your tooth from needing an extraction
  • Prevent further problems with your teeth, gums, and bone
  • Prepare your tooth for a finishing restoration such as a crown

Get the help you need by calling 254-401-0129 today to schedule an appointment. You’ll enjoy our amenities that include soft pillows and cozy blankets.

Enjoy Your Pick of Sedation Options

The team at Starr General Dentistry prides itself on delivering the most comfortable dental care possible. That holds true for root canal therapy as well. There’s no need to dread your procedure, as we’ll go out of our way to ensure you have a great experience here. We offer two soothing forms of sedation that will help you relax:

  • Inhaled Sedation – You’ll breathe in laughing gas through a comfortable mask, and in moments, you’ll begin to experience a gentle euphoria from head to toe. Your body will relax and your mind will rest at ease during your procedure.
  • Oral Conscious Sedation – Your dentist will prescribe an FDA-approved pill to take before your root canal procedure. By the time we’re ready to go to work repairing your tooth, you’ll feel completely relaxed.

Experience Gentle Root Canal Treatment

Here’s what will happen during your root canal:

  • Your dentist will access the diseased inner part of your tooth to clean it out.
  • We’ll sterilize the tooth, then seal it with a rubber-like material to prevent further problems.
  • We’ll most likely recommend capping the repaired tooth with a new crown to help protect it. The crown can be made right in our office using the CAD/CAM technology of our E4D system.

To get comfortable Waco root canals, rely on the team at Starr General Dentistry. Call us today at 254-401-0129 to make an appointment, or for more convenience.

Common Questions About Root Canals

Why are root canals needed?

Root canal treatments are done to remove infected tissue from teeth and to save those teeth from being extracted. Infected teeth can develop due to deep cavities, broken and cracked teeth, and gum disease. After the infected tissue is removed, your tooth can be filled and capped to restore its appearance and ability to bite and chew.

Are root canals painful?

At one time, root canal treatments were notorious for being a painful procedure. Thankfully, we can complete this process practically painlessly with modern techniques. By using local anesthesia and dental sedation, we can prevent you from feeling pain and reduce any anxiety you may have about this restorative treatment. Also, getting a root canal can alleviate or prevent you from feeling the pain of an infected tooth.

Are root canals expensive?

Some insurance providers help cover the cost of root canals. We’ve also seen differences between plans from the same provider. We are in network for many insurance plans, and our team will do all we can to get you the maximum benefit. Also keep in mind our many payment options, including in-house financing, to help you manage the costs of your care.
