No. While radiographs (x-ray images) will be necessary during your endodontic treatment, we use an advanced non-film computerized system, called digital radiography, that produces radiation levels up to 90 percent lower than those of already low dose conventional dental x-ray machinery. These digital images can be optimized, archived, printed, and sent to your restorative dentist via secure e-mail or portal that is HIPAA compliance.

Endodontic treatment, or a root canal, removes infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth. After cleaning and disinfecting the area, the space is filled and sealed to prevent further infection. This process keeps the tooth’s natural structure intact, allowing you to retain your original tooth rather than replacing it with an artificial option.

Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the inner tissues of the teeth, particularly the pulp and nerves. It deals with diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the tooth’s pulp, root canals, and surrounding tissues. Endodontists are dentists who have completed additional training in these specialized procedures.

Endodontic treatment that we offer in our NYC clinic can relieve severe tooth pain caused by infection or inflammation in the pulp. By treating the issue within the tooth, endodontic treatment eliminates pain, restores function, and saves the tooth, preventing the need for extraction and other dental work like implants or bridges.

During endodontic treatment, your endodontist will numb the area around your tooth to ensure comfort. Using advanced tools, they’ll access the infected pulp, clean it out, and fill the area with a special material to protect it. Afterward, you may need a crown to restore the tooth’s strength. The procedure is usually completed in one or two visits, and any discomfort is typically mild and temporary.

New technology in endodontics includes digital imaging for precise diagnostics, rotary instruments for faster and more efficient treatment, and 3D cone-beam CT scans for detailed views of tooth structures. Additionally, dental microscopes allow endodontists to see intricate areas inside the tooth, enhancing treatment precision.

Infection control is a top priority in our endodontic practice in NYC. Our clinic follows strict sterilization protocols, including the use of disposable tools and barriers. Instruments are sterilized between patients using autoclaves, and endodontists use rubber dams during treatment to isolate the tooth and minimize the spread of bacteria. These practices help ensure a safe, sterile environment for our patients.
