Root Canal Therapy
What is a root canal?
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges.
At the center of your tooth is pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature or pain in the tooth and gums.
If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. This therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required. Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of cases. If your tooth is not amenable to endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you will be informed at the time of consultation or when a complication becomes evident during or after treatment. We use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. In addition, we will provide nitrous oxide analgesia if indicated. You will be able to drive home after your treatment, and you probably will be comfortable returning to your normal routine.
We employ the most current endodontic techniques and innovative technologies as we offer superior Root Canal Therapy to the Coastal Virginia area.
What happens after treatment?
When your root canal therapy has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. You should contact their office for a follow-up restoration within a few weeks of completion at our office. Your restorative dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth. It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery. If a problem does occur, however, we are available at all times to respond. To prevent further decay, continue to practice good dental hygiene.
How much will it cost?
The cost associated with this procedure can vary depending on factors such as the severity of damage to the affected tooth and which tooth is affected. In general, endodontic treatment is much less expensive than tooth removal and replacement with an artificial tooth.
Ogden Endodontics & Microsurgery
Our Latest Patient Testimonial
Despite the reasons one needs to go to an Endodontics practice, such as invasive root canal or other very exciting and fun tooth issues, Ogden is quite good. The staff are super nice, the doc is super cool and super knowledgeable, and the experience is provided as chill as possible given the procedure. I would recommend this place to anyone needing the type of dental procedure requiring an Endodontics appointment! As a follow up, I wanted to mention that Dr. Ross called me personally a couple of days after the procedure, not a robocall, a personal call. That is awesome and very appreciated. A truly great practice. Dr. Ogden and Dr. Ross know how to run a compassionate business given the reasons you are there!

What a wonderful person Christine is, with such a terrific bedside manner. She not only made me feel comfortable, she made me feel like family with her country music. She also helped me understand some results I got with a recent CT scan results that made me so relieved, that’s going above and beyond in my opinion not to mention her gentle touch my root canal was over before I knew it!
