Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on treating issues related to the dental pulp and root canals. At Horizon Dental Care, Dr. Bob Johnson utilizes the latest advancements in laser technology to make endodontic treatments more efficient and comfortable for our patients.
What Is Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontic treatment, commonly known as a root canal, is performed when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, trauma or deep cavities. This procedure removes the damaged pulp, cleans the inner tooth and seals it to prevent further infection. By saving the natural tooth, patients can avoid the need for extraction and maintain proper function and aesthetics.

How Lasers Enhance Endodontics
Laser technology has revolutionized endodontic treatment. Lasers provide enhanced precision, allowing our dentist and team to clean and disinfect the root canal more effectively than traditional methods. The laser energy helps remove bacteria and debris, promoting faster healing and reducing post-operative discomfort. Additionally, lasers minimize the need for manual instruments, making the procedure less invasive. Patients benefit from shorter treatment times, increased comfort, and a quicker recovery.
