Advanced Dentistry of Plantation: Root Canal Therapy, Preventative and General Dental Care
Healthy teeth and gums are the foundation of a beautiful smile. We offer preventative care and oral health options to make sure that every member of the family has a healthy smile. Regular dental exams and professional cleanings can help to ward off bacteria and disease, keep teeth and gums in good shape. In the case that an infection develops in the tooth root, our Plantation dentists can perform endodontic, or root canal, therapy to heal the area and help you avoid an extraction. Please contact us today for more information on keeping your entire family's teeth and gums healthy for life. Many of our patients come from the Weston, Aventura, Davie, and Sunrise areas.
Endodontics (Root Canal) Therapy
Each tooth has a soft core, called the dental pulp, containing nerves, blood, and lymph vessels. If the pulp becomes infected or diseased, it can cause significant damage to the tooth and even lead to bone loss. Drs. Marc and Eli Schwartz of Advanced Dentistry of Plantation perform endodontic (root canal) therapy to help save the tooth and avoid an extraction. Although root canal therapy has a reputation for being an uncomfortable procedure, we use advanced techniques and a gentle approach to make it nearly painless. During endodontic therapy, we carefully clean the infected tooth, and remove the diseased pulp. We shape the pulp canal and seal the tooth to finish the procedure. In some cases, we may place a crown over the tooth if its structure needs a bit of reinforcement.
Although root canal therapy can sound unpleasant, our dentists and staff members are extremely sensitive to your comfort throughout the entire experience. We use some of the most sophisticated equipment available to make the procedure go by quickly and as painless as possible. We do offer certain types of sedation dentistry for patients who feel very anxious. We urge individuals from Plantation and nearby areas, who may need root canal therapy, to contact our practice; it is an important procedure that helps save teeth that would normally need to be removed.
Preventative Care: Professional Oral Cleanings, Exams, and Education
A consistent home dental care regimen, and twice-a-year professional cleanings and examinations are important for maintaining dental health. At Advanced Dentistry of Plantation, we offer a program of preventative care to help you keep your smile healthy for a lifetime. Each examination includes diagnosis with the DIAGNOdent® system, which helps us find small problems and fix them before they progress, as well as a thorough assessment of your dental health and a professional cleaning. Professional cleanings can reach areas where your own toothbrush or floss cannot reach. However, to educate our patients on what they can do on their own to keep teeth and gums healthy, we provide information on proper techniques and tips for at-home oral care.
