Let’s talk about pain for a minute — inflammation, uncontrolled infection, that really hurts. Now, what if all of this discomfort is deep inside your tooth, and it radiates out every time you speak, chew, drink, even sleep. A tooth decaying from the inside out, now that’s the worst!
Root canal treatment can be the end of that pain. Using gentle, state-of-the-art technologies, an Endodontist can eliminate the infection and inflammation in the tooth’s soft core, saving the tooth, and freeing you from the discomfort that will only get worse if left untreated.
But choosing the best Endodontist in Sarasota, FL, for you is crucial. Here are five ways to evaluate Endodontics professionals.
1. Advanced Root Canal Therapy Technology
The science of Endodontics has advanced lightyears in a short time. Now ancient methods for doing root canal therapy are obsolete, and our endodontics practice in Sarasota uses advanced dental technology. Endodontists perform many root canal treatment sessions a week so they have the experience that delivers a painless technique and informed patient experience.
Our practice offers the GentleWave Procedure, a state-of-the-art alternative to standard root canal treatment. The GentleWave Procedure is an advanced technology that cleans microscopic spaces that can not be reached by standard root canal treatment, removing bacteria and alleviate infection. If you are in the Sarasota, FL area, we can discuss with you whether you’re a candidate for GentleWave.
2. Gentle and Personalized Care
Everyone has their own life experience and feelings about things like oral health and this procedure. Your Endodontist should recognize your individuality and respect it. A skilled Endodontics professional doesn’t treat you like just another surgery. They offer you gentle and personalized care.
3. Honesty
Let’s face it — no one wants to go to a doctor who’s not going to be straightforward with you. These are your teeth, and the only ones you’re going to get, so you’d like to keep them. The right Endodontist for you is someone you feel comfortable with and know you can trust. When you’re seeking a root canal specialist in Sarasota, look for someone with a reputation for honesty and integrity with patients.
4. Financial Options
When you select a dental specialist like an Endodontist, it is important that they offer payment options that work for you. A reputable dental office will gather information about your insurance, if applicable, and present costs for the service and options for insurance covers. Our practice is in network with multiple insurances and also offers third party financing. Our experienced insurance coordinators will guide you through the billing process and what to expect.
5. Access to Information and Knowledge About Root Canal Therapy
Your Southwest Florida Endodontist should want to share information with you. For example…
- Why do you need root canal treatment?
- What are the real risks of not getting one?
- What are the alternatives?
- What is a modern root canal like?
Look for a doctor who is open and can point you toward the answers you’re looking for.
6. Commitment to Patient Comfort
Those lingering root canal myths (like “root canals are to be feared and are painful”) get busted every day. Online reviews and social media channels give you, the patient, all the power to choose who does your procedure. This puts commitment to patient comfort high on a well-reviewed doctor’s list of priorities.
7. Make Sure They Have the Right Florida Endodontics Qualifications and Experience
