Root Canal Treatment Options in REEDLEY, CAL

Root Canal Treatment | Mark Luzania, DDS Dentistry in Reedley, CA

Our Root Canal Process

You need a root canal when the soft pulpy material inside your tooth becomes infected and inflamed, often causing a toothache. Dr. Luzania will:

  • Carefully remove all the infected material using modern technology
  • Sanitize the cavity and the canals inside your tooth
  • Fill the cleaned-out cavity with a durable material called gutta-percha
  • Seal your tooth
  • Restore it with a dental crown

Our Root Canal Options

The usual alternative to a root canal is extracting an infected tooth, then replacing it with a dental bridge or, dental implant or denture. Dr. Mark Luzania DDS will help you determine which option is right for you. Some factors to consider:

  • Cost. While the upfront cost of a root canal is generally more than an extraction, the total cost of an extraction is often higher after the subsequent tooth replacement.
  • Convenience. We can typically complete a root canal in one or two visits of about an hour each. A tooth extraction is quicker. But depending on the tooth replacement you choose, you may need to make several visits to our REEDLEY, CAL dentist office.
  • Appearance. Even the best tooth replacement won’t look and feel exactly like your natural tooth.
