Experiencing a persistent toothache? It might be time to consider root canal therapy at Dentist of Montclair. Root canal therapy is a highly effective dental procedure designed to treat damaged, decayed, dead, or infected nerve tissue within a tooth. While the idea of a root canal may sound daunting, most patients experience immense relief once they've undergone this treatment.
Root canal therapy is a vital procedure aimed at preserving a severely damaged natural tooth. Damage can occur due to trauma, such as an injury to the face, or when decay reaches the inner pulp (nerve) of the tooth. When the pulp becomes damaged, it becomes irritated and inflamed, leading to excruciating pain. Over time, the pulp may deteriorate, resulting in further complications. In some cases, tooth extraction may be the only option. However, thanks to dental innovations, root canal therapy in Montclair offers a remarkable solution to prevent tooth loss.
After a root canal, the treated tooth may require additional support and protection. This is because a significant amount of tooth structure is removed during the procedure, and the pulp (nerve) is no longer present. A dental crown is essential to provide the necessary structure and reinforcement to protect the tooth from the pressures of biting and the corrosive effects of food, beverages, and bacterial acids. It ensures that the tooth remains intact and functional, preventing the need for extraction.
At Dentist of Montclair, Dr. Omid and our experienced dental team will guide you through the root canal therapy process. Here's an overview of what to expect:
Throughout the process, dental X-rays will be taken to ensure the thorough cleanliness of the canals and to check for any hidden canals or root perforations.
While the success rate of root canal therapy is exceptionally high, some instances may result in post-treatment discomfort or pain. If you experience a toothache after root canal therapy, our skilled Montclair dental team will assess the situation and, if necessary, re-treat the tooth or consult with an endodontist, a specialist dedicated to treating teeth roots.
The cost of root canal therapy typically starts around $700, depending on the specific tooth being treated. Molars may incur higher costs due to the complexity of treatment.
Does Insurance Cover Root Canal Treatment?
Dental insurance plans vary, with coverage typically ranging from 50% to 80% of the treatment cost. For precise cost estimates and to discuss payment plans and external financing options, please consult with our knowledgeable team.
