Providing Gentler, More Effective Root Canal Treatment

Oftentimes the first thought that crosses a patient’s mind when they hear they require root canal treatment is that it’s going to be painful. However, that’s not actually the case. The toothaches associated with the need for this treatment are known to overshadow the actual relief that patients feel afterward. And now, by using the latest GentleWave® technology for root canals in Melbourne, Dr. Scott is able to offer patients not only a more comfortable experience, but higher quality results as well. We invite you to learn more about this leading-edge technology below.

The Pitfalls of Traditional Root Canal Treatment

GentleWave® technology was created in an effort to improve the effectiveness and comfort of root canal treatment, creating a more positive experience for patients and endodontists alike. Traditional root canals use files and other handheld devices to manually remove the pulp and bacteria within a tooth. While this typically has a good success rate, it does leave room for reinfection, removing too much of the tooth structure, and potential damage to the tooth.

GentleWave® technology takes a different approach that maximizes the success rate of root canal treatment as well as minimizes the use of manual instruments in the process.

How Does GentleWave® Work?

Microscopic bacteria not being completely removed from the root canals are a primary reason patients require retreatment. GentleWave® technology utilizes a powerful fluid-flush design to reach into microscopic spaces of the tooth to disinfect them. Not only does this mean that you’ll be able to enjoy a more comfortable and faster recovery from your procedure, but your risk of reinfection will be drastically lower than with traditional manual root canal treatment. The result is peace-of-mind that after your root canal with Dr. Scott, infected tissue, debris, and bacteria that led to your toothache will be thoroughly removed.
