The GentleWave Procedure®
Standard root canal treatment uses various files down inside the tooth to remove infected tissue mechanically. However, the canal system inside your tooth is quite complex. There are areas that connect with twists or turns that these files, unfortunately, cannot reach. Leaving these areas untouched means that bacteria would be left behind. This can lead to your root canal needing to be redone, or even the loss of your tooth if it goes untreated. While a traditional root canal does clean quite a bit, it does not match the cleaning produced by the GentleWave® System.
Effectively cleaning the deepest, most complex areas of the root canal system requires incredible innovation. We are proud to offer that technology with the GentleWave® Procedure.
The GentleWave® System delivers a broad range of sound waves along with different solutions to clean all the complex areas inside your tooth. The system also allows us to save more of your natural tooth than ever before. This is important for reducing your chances of cracks, fractures, or tooth loss, thus greatly increasing success rates.
We are very proud to offer this high level of care to our patients. Dr. Ford is fully certified in the use of the GentleWave® System and will gladly answer any questions you may have about this exciting technology.
