Dental Solutions
“I love my teeth and my smile. The work was done very softly and pleasant, and Dr. Gross and his team really cared and even worked on “odd” hours as I was a bit pushed for time leaving USA for Europe. Thank you Dr. Gross – Thank you Renee and the rest of the team – You are great!”

Endodontics
Boca Raton, Florida
Endodontics is a specialty branch of dentistry dedicated to a specific dental treatment commonly called a root canal. In times past, root canals were a fairly involved and painful process many did their best to avoid.
Today, however, advanced dental techniques have changed all of that. Root canals are no longer a painful or frightening experience. In fact, many patients are surprised to report feeling nothing during the short procedure.
The SmilePerfect team is highly experienced in root canal therapy. In the qualified hands of your SmilePerfect dentist, you have nothing to fear, and a lifetime of excellent oral health to gain. If you’re suffering with a painful tooth right now, don’t put off treatment any longer.
It All Begins with an Infection
Sometimes, the pulp, or center, of the tooth becomes infected from decay or injury. When this happens, you’ll probably have quite a toothache that will send you to the dentist for help.
After examining the tooth and taking x-rays, your dentist will probably recommend removing the pulp and canals of each root. Each canal is then sealed with a rubber-based material to avoid further infection. Later on, a crown will be put on that tooth to cover your natural tooth and protect it from fracture.
Root Canal Therapy Saves a Dying Tooth
Are there any alternatives to root canal? Yes, you can remove the tooth altogether. This would certainly solve the problem and stop the pain. But it opens up a new set of problems. For example, what will you do now with that space in your mouth? Left too long with being corrected, your other teeth will begin to ‘cave in’ towards that space, and your teeth will grow out of alignment.
A dental implant or bridge is needed to fill the space and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting. This solution is certainly more costly than root canal therapy, and results can’t equal simply keeping your natural tooth. Root canal therapy is the best way to save a dying tooth, and your SmilePerfect dentist will do everything to make sure your teeth stay healthy.
