Root Canal Therapy in Marlborough MA
DentalBonding
Versatile dental bonding material enables us to make fast repairs to an imperfect smile. First, we match this material to our patient’s tooth color. We can then repair chips or make spaces between the teeth go away. We can also lengthen teeth that are too short, correct a poorly shaped tooth or conceal severe discoloration that will not respond to whitening. In a single visit, we can markedly improve a patient’s smile.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Our patients love the fact that their fillings are now tooth-colored. Unlike older metal fillings, tooth-colored fillings will not darken. Some patients ask us to replace metal fillings with clean, white composite resin fillings as part of their cosmetic programs.
PorcelainVeneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the front of teeth to improve their appearance. They can be used to correct chipped or broken teeth. They can also be placed over a single tooth or all the visible teeth, to give teeth a more attractive shape or conceal spaces between them. Teeth with mild-to-moderate misalignment can also be corrected with
DentalCrowns
When a tooth has both a cosmetic and a structural problem, it may need a new crown to protect it. As an example, if a tooth has fracture or has suffered an injury that results in discoloration, a crown keeps it strong and safe while giving it a bright new appearance.
Teeth Whitening
Sometimes, the only change that’s needed to get a patient smiling again is brightening the color of their teeth with a whitening treatment. We offer our patients the Zoom! in-office and at-home treatments. The in-office treatment brightens teeth as much as seven shades in about an hour. The at-home program can brighten teeth as much as six shades with a three-night treatment and help the patient maintain that brightness as well.
Other Services
Very often, a person that has suffered damage to their smile is also missing some teeth. As part of their new smile, they may need replacements for these missing teeth. We are skilled and experienced in providing dental implants, bridges or partial dentures to fill in these smiles.
At Union Dental, we understand that dealing with a toothache or dental infection can be painful and stressful. That's why we offer comprehensive root canal therapy services to our patients in Marlborough, providing effective treatment to save damaged teeth and alleviate discomfort.
What is Root Canal Therapy in Marlborough?
Root Canal Therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure performed to treat infections or damage within the pulp of a tooth. The pulp is the innermost part of the tooth, containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or repeated dental procedures, root canal therapy becomes necessary to save the tooth and alleviate pain.
The process of root canal therapy typically involves the following steps:
Diagnosis: The dentist examines the tooth, reviews X-rays, and assesses symptoms to determine if root canal therapy is necessary. Common symptoms indicating the need for a root canal include severe toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, and tenderness.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected tooth and the surrounding area, ensuring the patient's comfort during the procedure.
Access Opening: The dentist creates a small opening in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber and root canals.
Cleaning and Shaping: The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed from the pulp chamber and root canals. The interior of the tooth is then cleaned, disinfected, and shaped using specialized instruments.
Filling: Once the root canals are cleaned and shaped, they are filled with a biocompatible material, typically a rubber-like substance called gutta-percha, to seal the space and prevent further infection.
Restoration: After the root canal therapy, the access opening is sealed with a temporary or permanent filling. In many cases, a dental crown may be recommended to protect and strengthen the treated tooth.
Root canal therapy is a highly successful and common procedure that allows patients to retain their natural teeth and avoid the need for extraction. It relieves pain, resolves infection, and restores the tooth's function. With advancements in dental technology and techniques, root canal therapy is typically a relatively comfortable and efficient procedure
