Root Canal Treatment in Greeley, CO

Over the years, there is one dental procedure that has received a bad reputation - root canal treatment. At Bagley Family Dental, we believe that getting a root canal doesn’t have to be stressful or painful.

Modern dentistry has made the root canal procedure a seamless, efficient, and pain-free process. The truth is that root canal therapy not only relieves pain while resolving your infection, but it also helps to preserve your natural tooth - which is always our goal.

Why Do I Need Root Canal Treatment?

When your tooth is traumatized or decayed, it can cause inflammation or an infection in the nerve of your tooth. It is actually this inflammation or infection that causes your discomfort rather than the procedure itself, which relieves pain.

A tooth infection typically causes severe and constant dental pain. If left untreated, it may spread to neighboring teeth - even to other areas of your body! It is essential to treat a dental infection or a dental abscess as soon as possible.

Without proper treatment, a traumatized or infected tooth could end up having to be removed.

What Happens During a Root Canal?

During root canal treatment, Dr. Bagley gently removes the inflamed and infected tissue from inside of your tooth and seals it with a temporary filling to protect it during the healing process.

Once your tooth is feeling better, you’ll need to permanently seal it and strengthen it with a dental crown or permanent filling. Restoring your tooth ensures that you’ll have all the function you did before your tooth infection.

The Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Bagley Family Dental offers stress-free root canal treatment, providing several benefits for our patients.

Pain Relief

Dr. Bagley will numb the infected tooth with dental anaesthetics that will immediately alleviate your pain.

Stops Infection

Root canal treatment eliminates the infection in your tooth and preserves your natural tooth structure.

Restored Function

You'll be able to chew and eat comfortably again and enjoy your food after completing root canal treatment.

Root Canal Treatment Technology

Rotary Endodontics

Who would've guessed that root canal treatment could become even more comfortable? This procedure already relieves the discomfort and disease caused by a tooth infection. Now we can do the treatment even quicker with electric rotary hand tools.

These tools are also made of flexible nickel-titanium, which is more comfortable for our patients during the process because the tools can more easily reach inside the canals of your tooth.

At Bagley Family Dental, root canal treatment is quick and painless. It is not uncommon for patients to look at us at the completion of root canal treatment and ask, “that was it?”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a crown after my root canal?

Root canal treatment in Greeley, CO does a great job preserving your natural tooth and preventing tooth loss. However, since the procedure removes the diseased nerve tissue from inside your tooth, it causes your tooth to become more brittle. A dental crown strengthens your tooth and protects your root. It also ensures that your tooth can provide all the chewing function you had before your tooth infection.

During root canal treatment, Dr. Bagley seals your tooth with a temporary filling to allow it to heal. Sometimes a permanent filling can restore your tooth; however, in most cases, he recommends a crown to strengthen your tooth after it has healed.

Dr. Bagley completes all aspects of your root canal treatment and your dental crown to ensure that you receive a quality restoration that you can rely on for years to come. It typically takes our trusted local dental lab two to three weeks to complete your crown because Dr. Bagley only works with top dental technicians who meet his high standards for quality.

If you have questions about root canal treatment or dental crowns in Greeley, CO, we invite you to contact Bagley Family Dental today at (970) 353-5664 for more information.

What is a root canal?

Dr. Bagley recommends a root canal when you have an infected tooth. Most tooth infections are excruciating, so you may likely be experiencing considerable discomfort if you need a root canal.

During root canal treatment in Greeley, Dr. Bagley carefully removes the infected tissue from inside your tooth. When he's sure that your tooth is infection-free, he then seals it with a temporary filling and allows it time to heal properly.

Patient comfort is our top priority at Bagley Family Dental, and our Greeley dentist uses the latest technology designed to make your root canal treatment a smooth and comfortable process. We also offer dental sedation with nitrous oxide for patients who are fearful of root canal treatment.

Root canal treatment not only eliminates the painful infection in your tooth, but it also preserves your natural tooth structure, protecting against tooth loss. Dr. Bagley will recommend either a tooth crown or dental filling to rebuild and strengthen your tooth after root canal treatment. Rebuilding your tooth ensures that you enjoy all the same function you had before your tooth became infected.

Do root canals hurt?

Root canals are often associated with discomfort since you are likely experiencing a lot of pain when you need this procedure. It is important to note, however, that it is not the root canal procedure itself that causes your pain, but rather the infection that is deep within the nerve of your tooth.

Root canal therapy in Greeley, CO is a straightforward procedure that eliminates infection from inside your tooth while also protecting the integrity of your natural tooth. The procedure itself is straightforward, and leading-edge technology combined with dental anesthetics ensures that you don't feel any discomfort during your treatment.

When bacteria decay your tooth and reach the nerve in its inner canals, it causes an infection that becomes quite painful. Unfortunately, when your tooth reaches this point, your infection will not go away without treatment. An infection left untreated will cause further damage, could impact your neighboring teeth, and could even result in tooth loss.

At Bagley Family Dental, we also offer nitrous oxide sedation for patients who feel anxious or fearful about root canal treatment in Greeley.

Call our dental office today at (970) 353-5664 for more information about how we can help with root canals or schedule an appointment.

How long does a root canal take?

Though root canals have received a bad reputation in the past, the truth is that the process for completing root canal treatment has become even more simple and straightforward with the advances of modern dentistry. Electric hand tools make root canal treatment even more efficient, and in most cases, we can complete the procedure in under an hour.

Electric hand tools are also made of nickel-titanium, which is flexible and makes reaching your tooth's inner canals more comfortable.

If you're feeling extra anxious about your root canal treatment, Dr. Bagley also offers nitrous oxide at our dental office in Greeley, CO. Nitrous oxide helps "take the edge off" during dental procedures so you can feel comfortable during the entire process. It also doesn't leave any lingering side effects that impact your recovery or your normal daily activities.

Your comfort is our top priority at Bagley Family Dental, and we know that your time is valuable. Dr. Bagley invests in leading-edge technology to make dental procedures more comfortable and efficient for our patients.
