Contemporary anesthesia makes the root canal treatment procedure painless. Root canal therapy helps to eliminate severe pain, swelling, and sensitivity to hot or cold. These inflamed nerve symptoms along with an X-Ray exam will confirm the necessity of proper treatment. Root canal treatment can be done under sedation if you are apprehensive and have been uncomfortable in the dental chair in the past. During the root canal treatment procedure Dr. Rado cleans out the inflamed nerve and seals the space. Teeth with root canal treatment need to be restored afterwards. The treatment may range from a simple filling to a large build-up with post and core. The tooth may require a crown to protect it from further damage.

Need a cavity filled, but don't want a mouthful of metallic glint? Dr. Rado uses a composite resin, a natural-looking, tooth-colored alternative to unsightly silver fillings.

Composite resin is a tough, plastic material that is simple to apply and virtually impossible to detect. Dr. Rado tints the putty-like resin to precisely match the patient's natural tooth color. The tinted resin is then packed into the tooth cavity and exposed to a special light that causes it to harden rapidly. The end result - a filling so natural looking that only you and Dr. Rado will know it's there.

Traditionally, people with missing teeth, or structural tooth problems, such as fractures or teeth severely damaged by decay, were subject to endless dental office visits and a mouthful of very unnatural looking and feeling teeth. We have advanced the science of crowns and bridges to offer solutions that cure problems safely and restore a full, attractive smile.

When a tooth is fractured, has a large old filling, or is severely damaged by decay, we may recommend the placement of a crown or cap. Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and will improve the appearance of your smile. Types of crowns include the full porcelain crown, the porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and different variations of these. Fitting a crown requires at least two visits to our office.

For teeth that are lost or damaged beyond repair, modern dental implants can provide a permanent replacement that maintains the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. Learn more
