ROOT CANALS

Root Canals are needed when the internal tissue or pulp of the tooth becomes infected. (The pulp is a soft tissue containing; vessels, nerves, and connective tissue) Once the pulp tissue is inflamed the nerve also becomes infected and this is what causes pain. After removing the bacteria and infected nerve an artificial nerve is placed inside the tooth in order to restore function.

At Image Dental, we utilize the latest equipment to ensure that your Root Canal procedure is comfortable and successful. Dr.Ngo uses a Carl Zeiss microscope to perform root canals; this top of the line microscope, magnifies the tooth up to 23 times to ensure extreme accuracy for your procedure. Most patient requires a post build up and crown following their root canal therapy to completely restore the area.

A restored tooth could last you the rest of your life and will shield you from any damage against your gums, jawbones, and teeth.



If you maintain proper dentistry care by brushing, flossing, and regular check ups, your tooth will be healthy and will last you a life span.
