As your destination for gentle and genuinely caring dentistry, Scenic Bluffs Dental in Prescott and Western Wisconsin is a relaxing, non-judgmental, kind, and inviting partner in your pursuit of sustained oral health. By maintaining regular visits with our dentists, Drs. Jay Feuillerat and Samantha Clare, and our skilled team, we work with you to prevent severe damage that threatens the structural integrity and health of a tooth. However, should deep decay, fractures, gum disease, or even accidents and other forms of trauma arise, we can preserve the affected tooth.
Root canal treatment provides immediate relief from persistent discomfort and painful pressure caused by inflammation or infection at the tooth’s center. Additionally, the process is straightforward. We often compare it to a “deep cleaning,” only instead of the surfaces of the teeth, we clean the innermost tooth structure.
Also, a cornerstone of our practice is techniques and technologies to support conservative, non-invasive, tissue-preserving care and a comfortable and convenient experience. We administer a highly precise and painless anesthetic before the inside of the tooth is accessed. So, you won’t feel anything but relief from toothaches caused by the underlying oral condition! Our techniques are even appropriate for patients with dental anxiety and fear, as needles and numbing anesthetics are common “triggers.”
Once the inner pulp chamber has been accessed, our dentists remove the damaged tissues. The root canals are cleaned to eradicate harmful bacteria. After the channels are reshaped, they are filled with a gutta-percha material to “seal off” the treated tooth and prevent reinfection. Typically, the tooth is restored with an attractive and durable dental crown. The dental restoration promotes your tooth’s sustained strength, health, and function.
While the treatment process is generally very well-tolerated, we appreciate your unique preferences and characteristics. We are happy to discuss options to assure your utmost comfort, such as relaxing sedation. Treated teeth require no special care. After all, they are your natural teeth! With the usual regular check-ups at our practice and good oral hygiene when you can’t be at our practice, your tooth can hold up well for years, even a lifetime. There is nothing quite like the function and aesthetics of a natural, healthy tooth! Plus, you avoid the expense, time, and more invasive nature of tooth replacement procedures by preserving your tooth. If a tooth is extracted, prompt tooth replacement is necessary to preserve the supporting bone in your jaw and regain healthy chewing and a confident smile.
Dental problems will not go away on their own. They require treatment to resolve pain and other symptoms and address the underlying condition. Call (715) 953-0499 to schedule your appointment at Scenic Bluffs Dental. We just might “save” your tooth!
