Endodontics (Root Canal)
Many people fear the root canal procedure, but due to advancements in dental technology, root canals have become a simple, pain-free process.
What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is required when the pulp of the tooth – the blood vessels and nerves – becomes infected. This can be caused by a crack in the tooth, decay, or trauma.
A root canal involves the process of opening the tooth, clearing out the damaged pulp, shaping and filling the canal, and sealing the tooth. It’s vital that the infected pulp is removed, otherwise you may experience swelling and pain that can necessitate removing the whole tooth.
At Langley Dental, we use the highest quality instruments and techniques to ensure a painless procedure. With all the progress in dentistry, root canal therapy is nothing to fear. To learn more about our root canal services, please contact Langley Dental today.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Filling cavities is one of the most common dentistry practices today. In the past, cavities were filled with a mixture of metals that resulted in a dark, highly-visible filling. Today, the vast majority of fillings match the natural color of teeth.
What are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings, also called composite resins or composite fillings, are designed to match the natural color of your tooth.
Tooth-colored fillings are applied over the cavity in layers, and then hardened into a shape that matches the rest of your teeth. The filling is polished to prevent staining and wear, and they will never turn black or discolored with age. Tooth-colored fillings are less sensitive to hot or cold than other materials, and they seal the tooth completely, keeping out bacteria, food, and acid. When it comes to fillings, tooth-colored fillings provide the most benefits with the best looking result.
