To Our Patients,

We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about Coronavirus in public places… even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.

At Great Smiles Dental Care, I want to assure you that our office has even further heightened our already rigid sterilization safeguards and office cleaning standards to minimize the possibility of transmission to our outstanding team…or to you, our valued patient. We have always far exceeded all standards for sterilization and patient care.

Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.

Your dental health remains important to us as it plays such an important role in your overall health.

When you visit our office, you’ll see we’ve taken all the necessary steps to ensure you have the best patient experience possible. If you are experiencing any symptoms, please do not come to our office and call us to reschedule your appointment. We care for you and all our patients. If we see any symptoms in our patients or our team, we will reschedule the appointment on the spot and send that individual home.

It is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you…and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

Sincerely,

Dr. Eric Wendelschafer

End Tooth Pain With a Root Canal Procedure

If you’ve noticed your tooth has become more sensitive to hot and cold foods and drinks, or if it hurts to chew on one side of your mouth, you could have an infected tooth. When the soft inner pulp of a tooth gets infected, it can be intensely painful.

Thanks to our advanced technology and the skills of Dr. Wendelschafer and our team, restorative dental treatment is simpler than ever. Root canal procedures are routine for us, no more complicated than filling a cavity, and they help patients feel better and get their oral health back on track.

You might believe the myth that they’re incredibly painful, but a root canal procedure is actually what makes dental pain go away. It’s a straightforward treatment that is often a better choice than a tooth extraction because:

  • It keeps your natural tooth and root intact
  • Your jawbone will remain engaged and strong
  • Your gums and surrounding teeth will be safer
  • You’ll heal faster than if you had the tooth removed
  • You’ll avoid the costs of tooth replacement

Root canals in Surprise can help you avoid the painful consequences of infected teeth. Call Great Smiles Dental Care today at 623-321-2169 to schedule an appointment.

Common Questions About Root Canals

Root canal treatment (often shortened to just “root canal”) is a procedure in which your dentist cleans out the infected inner portion of your tooth known as the pulp. Infection can reach the pulp because of an untreated cavity or injury to the tooth. After removing the pulp, the inner chambers are sealed with a rubber-like material to prevent future problems, and the tooth is capped with a crown.

Although many people believe that root canal therapy is painful, it is no more uncomfortable than getting a tooth filled. We’ll use a local anesthetic to make sure the tooth is numb before we begin your procedure. That way you can relax and feel confident that you’re not going to feel any discomfort.

Without performing an exam on your mouth, it’s difficult to estimate the total cost of root canal treatment. The cost may be determined by the location of the tooth and the severity of the damage. Plus, we normally recommend capping the repaired tooth with a crown to help strengthen it, so the cost of the crown would need to be figured into the total treatment cost.
