Non Surgical Root Canal Fort Myers FL

Porto Fino Dental | Root Canal

What is a root canal?

A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges.

At the center of your tooth is pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature or pain in the tooth and gums.

How is a root canal performed?

If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed.

This therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required. Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of cases.

If your tooth is not amenable to endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you will be informed at the time of consultation or when a complication becomes evident during or after treatment.

We use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. In addition, we will provide nitrous oxide analgesia if indicated. You will be able to drive home after your treatment, and you probably will be comfortable returning to your normal routine.

What happens after treatment?

When your root canal therapy has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. You should contact their office for a follow-up restoration within a few weeks of completion at our office.

Your restorative dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth. It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery.

If a problem does occur, however, we are available at all times to respond. To prevent further decay, continue to practice good dental hygiene.

How much will it cost?

The cost associated with this procedure can vary depending on factors such as the severity of damage to the affected tooth and which tooth is affected. In general, endodontic treatment is much less expensive than tooth removal and replacement with an artificial tooth.

The staff is not only excellent in their care but the attitudes are one that make you want to hang around and chit chat. We have been serviced by many dentists but Dr. Bocanegra hast to be the "one".

Patient Review By Barry N

I'm writing this review for my husband Barry Nathan He came home this morning from his first visit to Porto Fino Dental. He was so happily impressed with the cheeriness and friendly atmosphere of the office staff. Dr Bocanegra was personable and friendly he made Barry feel at ease and confident in the work to be done. Sometimes after relocating to a different state it's difficult to form new relationships with medical and dental professionals. Barry felt so relieved today and assured that he was in good hands. Sincerely, Barry & Marsha Nathan Sent from my iPhone

Patient Review By Sherry D

I have been living in Fort Myers for 5 years. It took me three and a half years to decide on a dentist here in the Fort Myers area. I was going back to Miami for my dental care. I found your practice on Angie's List and my only regret is that I did find you guys sooner. Thanks for the great work that all of you do.

Patient Review By Gene I

Dr. Bocanegra is very polite and courteous toward his patients. He takes the time to explain the procedures in advance, as well as alternatives so you know what to expect. During the procedure Dr. Bocanegra and his staff continue to maintain their professional and courteous relationship with their patient throughout the process making sure they are doing fine and have no issue. Regardless of what service was provided, upon completion Dr. Bocanegra makes every effort to speak with each patient and make sure they were well taken care of prior to their departure. Thank you to Dr. Bocanegra and all his Staff!
