ROOT CANAL THERAPY

The Molina Endodontics Team in Downey, CA has performed tens of thousands of successful root canal treatments, so you know you’re in the best of hands. With this procedure, we gently remove the tooth infection or inflamed pulp and then carefully shape and sterilize the inside of the root canal.

We use a state-of-the-art electronic apex locator to aid in determining the precise location of the root end; it also minimizes the number of X-rays required during root canal treatment. The root canal is then filled and sealed with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. We use the Obtura “Touch N’ Heat” system, which offers the ultimate in patient safety and efficiency.

For your comfort, we use virtually silent handpieces that offer minimum vibration. In addition, our ultrasonic equipment features diamond-coated tips, the small size of which preserves the tooth’s structure and provides more precise treatment.

At Molina Endodontics, we can perform most root canal treatments in a single visit; the more difficult cases might require a second appointment. Once your root canal therapy has been completed, we will send a written report to your referring dentist.
