What is a mission valley root canal treatment?

When a tooth becomes infected, it creates pain and poses a serious health risk if left untreated. Our non-surgical root canal removes the infection from your tooth’s roots and fills the cavity with a special material to prevent decay from returning.

There are two types of root canal procedures: surgical and non-surgical. Which one you need depends on the extent of the infection and how easily we can access your tooth’s roots. The good news: most patients respond well to the non-surgical approach, which is less invasive and requires less recovery time.

Why Choose Our Non-Surgical Root Canal Over Traditional Surgery

A traditional root canal requires cutting your gum line to access the infected roots, but our non-surgical root canal uses a different approach: drilling instead of cutting. This means less invasiveness and less anxiety for many patients who prefer to avoid surgery.

How does our non-surgical root canal work? The process mirrors a filling. When you’ve had a cavity filled, your dentist drilled through the decay to clean and restore your tooth. We use the same drilling principle to access your tooth’s roots, clean out the infection, and fill the cavity to prevent future decay. The result: effective treatment with minimal recovery time.

Most patients do well with our non-surgical root canal because it’s less invasive than traditional surgical approaches. To learn more about whether this option is right for your situation, call us today to schedule your evaluation.
