SPECIALIZES ROOT CANAL TREATEMENT & SURGERY
WILLIAM G BROWNSTEIN

Root canal treatment can often be performed in one or two visits. The number of visits and time required to for treatment depends on your particular case. The root canal procedure involves the following steps:1. Administration of a local anesthetic to anesthetize the area of treatment. After the tooth is numb, a small protective sheet called a “dental dam” is placed over the area to isolate the tooth and keep it clean and free of saliva during the procedure.2. Administration of a local anesthetic to anesthetize the area of treatment. After the...

Using endodontic microscopes during both non-surgical and surgical procedures helps transform the potential outcome from “good” to “excellent.” Why? These surgical microscopes and magnifying loupes provide more visual information, and, thus, a more complete picture. Magnification and illumination of the operating field is critical in our specialty and enable our doctors to perform a range of endodontic procedures that could only be done with enhanced vision and appropriately trained staff.

With the appropriate care, your teeth that have had endodontic treatment will last as long as other natural teeth.

Arguably the most important advanced technology in endodontics, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an indispensable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of a compromised tooth. Providing doctors with unprecedented 3D imaging of structures beneath the surface of the teeth and gums, CBCT scans take a very small 3D image of the jaw and teeth, drastically reducing exposure to radiation. The CBCT imaging system involves a digital x-ray scanner that rotates once around your head while you’re standing or sitting. The quick, simple and...
