Save Your Tooth

By eliminating the infection, root canal therapy can save your tooth and prevent the need for an extraction and other more complex procedures.

The Root Canal Treatment Process

Diagnostics & Preparation

Diagnostics & Preparation

Your dentist will begin by conducting a thorough examination of your tooth and your x-rays to identify the cause of your dental discomfort. If your tooth is infected, they will assess the severity of the infection to determine if a root canal is a suitable treatment option.In the event that a root canal is necessary, your dentist will first ensure that the treatment area is completely numb, including the nerves. Before beginning the procedure, your dentist will discuss various sedation options with you.

Removing Decay & Infected Pulp

Removing Decay & Infected Pulp

After you are completely numbed and comfortable, your dentist will begin the procedure of extracting decayed or infected material, starting from the outermost layer of enamel and progressing towards the inner pulp. Following the removal of infected pulp, the canals will be thoroughly cleaned and the area will be flushed with a specialized disinfectant to eradicate any residual infection.

Filling & Sealing

Filling & Sealing

Upon completion of the cleaning and disinfection process of your tooth, your dentist will proceed to fill the inner cavity with a rubbery substance known as "gutta-percha". This inert material serves to provide support to the tooth and replaces the extracted pulp. Afterwards, your dentist will determine whether to restore the tooth with a filling or dental crown based on the extent of decay and the amount of remaining healthy enamel.

I have had several appointments since writing this review. My teeth weren’t in the best shape due to avoiding dentists for so long (literal years). I’ve had two thorough cleanings and gum treatments. I had my wisdom teeth taken out. This is a BIG deal because of my dental anxiety and no other place/dentist has made me feel comfortable enough to do so. Dr. Patton called and checked up on me the following day. She just really, really cares for her patients.

During my second deep cleaning, Dr. Suki looked at an area of concern on the back of my two front teeth. She recommended some fillings and some possible cosmetic related work. I’ve had really bad past experiences with other dentists relating to cosmetic work on my front teeth. I was never really happy with the previous work and had just accepted how it looked. Dr. Suki listened to all my concerns, really listened. She reassured me, because I was really hesitant. Y’all, I cannot begin to explain how satisfied I am with her work. She really took her time. She went above and beyond. I am so, so, so happy with the cosmetic outcome!

I have been to many dentists but, Dr. Sarah Suki has by far been the best and most pleasant visit ever. She is extremely skilled and knew how to get to the root of my problems and fixed it. I will be a patient of Dr. Sarah Suki for as long as I need a dentist. Extremely detail orientated and has so much integrity and pride in her work. You are guaranteed to be treated right with the one and only Dr. Suki. I will be a patient of hers forever, whether she's working in Houston or any other city :)

Dr Patton and her team are extremely professional. Dr Patton explained everything precisely before the procedure and she made sure that I was comfortable throughout the procedure. Her dental assistant Jess did a fabulous job and patiently answered all my questions and concerns. Dr Patton and her team have earned my trust.
