Laser Root Canals

Root canal therapy at Smiles by Mia in Burke, VA, is designed to save your natural tooth when damage or infection affects the inner pulp. A root canal becomes necessary when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks, or injury. Left untreated, the infection can spread, causing severe pain, abscess formation, or even bone loss around the tooth. This condition affects not only your oral health but also your overall well-being.

The procedure involves removing the diseased tissue, disinfecting the interior of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further complications. Our gentle approach helps eliminate discomfort, protect surrounding teeth, and restore full chewing function. Following treatment, a crown is usually placed to reinforce the tooth’s strength and appearance. Root canals offer a reliable, long-term solution to preserve your oral health while avoiding extraction and more extensive dental work.

Laser root canal treatment is an innovative dental procedure that utilizes the power of advanced laser technology to eliminate damaged or infected pulpal tissue inside the tooth's canals. Unlike traditional root canal methods, which rely on manual techniques, laser treatment offers a more precise and minimally invasive alternative.

One key aspect of laser root canal treatment is its ability to provide a more comfortable experience and shorter recovery times compared to traditional methods. The targeted nature of the laser energy minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues and provides a more thorough disinfection inside the canals, leading to improved sterilization during the procedure and longer-lasting results.
