Root Canal Therapy
Our philosophy on root canal procedures at Stone Ridge Endodontics is simple: the less invasive, the better. That’s why we use the GentleWave® machine on nearly all of our root canal therapy procedures.
During a root canal therapy procedure, we’ll remove infected pulp tissue using fluid dynamics and broad range soundwaves to get the cleanest possible root canal we can. Then, we’ll seal the canal to prevent reinfection from occuring. By investing in the top endodontic technology out there, we’re confident that you’ll have the best experience possible at Stone Ridge Endodontics.

Root Canal Retreatment
In the off-chance that a root canal procedure does get reinfected, we’ll also use our GentleWave® technology to reclean the affected root canal and remove any damaged tissue. While inspecting the canal, we’ll be able to determine what may have caused the previous root canal failure so we can give you the tools you need to prevent it in the future.
Nobody wants to have a root canal retreatment, so our goal is to get it right using advanced imaging, diagnosis and cleaning technology.

Apicoectomy
Sometimes a typical root canal procedure doesn’t go far enough in treating the patient properly. Every once in a while, we’ll need to remove the tip of the root of your tooth to prevent further infection. This is called an apicoectomy, and while it’s not a surgical procedure we do often, we take very seriously the ones we do have to do.
Using advanced imaging technology, we’ll pinpoint exactly where the pain and discomfort are coming from so that we have the clearest guide on how to best save your tooth. Our years of experience and dedication to excellent results will make sure your time with us is the best it can possibly be.

Cracked Tooth Management

Why see an Endodontist?
Experience & Training
Endodontists must undergo extensive clinical specialty training beyond dental school to hone their craft but still work in partnership with restorative dentists to provide complete care for patients.
Availability
Most endodontists offer flexibility in accommodating emergency cases, so delays in treatment are kept to a minimum and patients can be relieved of dental pain quickly in order to return to their restorative care.
Efficiency
By limiting their practice solely to endodontic treatment, endodontists aim to be efficient and precise. This equates to positive experiences and faster turnaround to the restorative dentist.
Technological Advantage
Many endodontists use state-of-the-art technology such as operating microscopes, digital imaging, cone beam CT’s, and ultrasonic instrumentation to treat their patients quickly and comfortably. At Stone Ridge Endo, we also offer the Gentlewave Treatment. Today, getting root canal treatment is often no more uncomfortable than having a filling.
