A holistic approach to dentistry has been a source of pride for our endodontic team of Dr. Damaries Candelario-Soto, Dr. Yanina Figueroa, Dr. Joseph Yoo, Dr. Shaletha Bolden, and Yasir Al-Drugh. Our biological approach to root canal therapy recognizes the whole-body effects an infected tooth can have on overall well-being. Our doctors use carefully selected filling materials, dental hygiene procedures, and diagnostic technology to provide biological-friendly root canals.
Endodontics Associates of Georgia understands the safety concerns linked to root canal therapy. While we disagree with these concerns, our root canal therapy differs from traditional methods in optimizing safety and minimizing potential complications.
What is our biological approach to root canal treatment?
Our root canal treatment approach prioritizes the health of your tooth and its surrounding structures, considering your overall well-being. We recognize the connection between oral and overall health and offer a biological approach to root canal therapy. Our goal is to address oral health issues without introducing new problems to your body, ensuring a comprehensive and holistic approach to your care.
When we say we prioritize biological dentistry in our endodontics, it’s more than just words. The following are the practical steps we take to bring biological endodontics to life.
- Biolase: We use biolase as a minimally invasive procedure to disinfect the root canal system by killing bacteria and removing organic debris. Unlike traditional methods, lasers can access and disinfect complex root canal systems to avoid reinfections. Additionally, hard tissue lasers can cut through bone and teeth to administer advanced procedures like apicoectomy.
- GentleWave®Procedure: Although root canal pain can be distressing, treatments don’t have to be. Instead of manual tools, GentleWave® Procedure combines fluid dynamics and acoustic energy to access even the remotest areas of the root canal, effectively removing all traces of unwanted bacteria to avoid retreatment. The procedure is also minimally invasive. Unlike conventional methods that involve extensive removal of the tooth structure to address the canals, the GentleWave®Procedure is conservative because it uses fluids to penetrate all the crevices of the complex root canal system.
- Precise and safe diagnostics: Imaging is critical in endodontics during diagnosis. Years ago, endodontists relied on film-based X-rays, which only provided 2D images and emitted dangerous radiation levels. Our office uses digital radiographs and 3D scanning with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Digital radiographs offer precise diagnostics to help doctors choose the best treatment for your tooth. Additionally, modern radiographs emit nearly 80-90% less radiation than traditional X-rays, making them a safe option for patients.
What are the benefits of biological endodontics?
Our biological approach to root canal treatments offers numerous benefits.
Some include:
- Preservation of the natural tooth structure.
- We only use safe and biocompatible materials.
- Preserves the natural microbiome.
- Effective outcomes, eliminating the need for retreatment.
- Minimal discomfort during and after treatment.
