Modern approaches to cleaning infected root canals and resolving deep decay are well-tolerated and similar to a common filling. Yet, the root canal dental procedure at the Gambrills, MD office of Bingham-Lester Dentistry, is even more predictable, straightforward, and comfortable due to the use of a sophisticated diagnostic system.

The importance of thorough treatment planning

Dr. Bingham-Lester uses a diagnostic system to clearly “see” the affected and surrounding nerves, as well as the shape and number of root canals. With such detailed and accurate information upfront, she minimizes the odds of complications and increases the likelihood that your treatment will be successful. “Endodontic” (root canal) treatments have a high success rate. But not all teeth can be “saved” in this manner. So, she has focused on the equipment and training that improves the chances patients will be able to keep their natural teeth. Additionally, she partners with some of the area’s top endodontists or specialists in root canals.

Comfortable and efficient treatment

Since the myth of the painful root canal persists, Dr. Bingham-Lester is happy to discuss anesthetic and sedative options with you. The anesthetic numbs the treatment area. So, you will not feel anything. Sedatives can be delivered either as nitrous oxide via a small nasal mask or as prescription medications taken by mouth. Sedation helps you to relax for a better experience in the treatment chair.

Advanced diagnostics and thorough treatment planning also minimize the time you spend in the treatment chair. The Isolite system further expedites treatment and assures your comfort during root canal therapy. This all-in-one device helps to isolate the treatment area by retracting the tongue, which leads to a more relaxed and quicker appointment. Isolite systems are also designed in a way to control moisture and prevent infection control and cross-contamination. The more comfortable the procedure on the front end, and the more these variables are controlled during treatment, the better the healing process afterward.

Preventing the need for canal treatment is always top of mind. But, know should you ever need one, Bingham-Lester Dentistry’s sophisticated knowledge and equipment is here for you. Call 410-885-6522 to schedule your appointment with Dr. Bingham-Lester at the Gambrills, MD office.
