If you’re looking for a dentist with decades of experience to provide top-notch treatment in a comfortable, safe environment, look no further than Dr. Hugo Artaza. With over 40+ years of experience, Dr. Artaza offers endodontics in Katy, TX, with the help of advanced technology and a knowledgeable team that understands the importance of providing expert, comprehensive services.
Endodontics is the field of dentistry that focuses on the inner workings of teeth – specifically, the pulp and nerves that can become infected or injured. Dr. Artaza diagnoses and treats tooth pain, root canal problems, and other dental issues that arise within the pulp. Endodontic treatment aims to save teeth from extraction. By combining cutting-edge technology with expert knowledge of dental anatomy and physiology, our Houston dentist can provide patients with gentle and effective treatment that can relieve toothaches and help natural teeth last a lifetime.
When it comes to oral health, detecting and treating problems as early as possible is critical. If you’ve experienced any persistent tooth pain or dental sensitivity, it may be worthwhile to consider endodontic treatment.
At Artaza Dental, we offer a range of services to help diagnose and address these issues using laser dentistry. By using laser technology, Dr. Artaza can make procedures more precise, reduce discomfort and healing time, and help ensure a successful outcome for every patient.
Our dentist in Cinco Ranch has a lot of technology, including some truly amazing tooth replacement options. However, your natural teeth already do a fantastic job—we don’t want to compete with that.
Your natural tooth allows you to chew efficiently, prevents neighboring teeth from shifting, and helps protect the integrity of your jawbone. Plus, while tooth extraction is sometimes necessary, saving the tooth whenever possible helps avoid the need for replacements like implants or bridges, which can be more costly and require more extensive procedures.
Severe Cracks: If a crack spreads far enough, it could allow bacteria to enter the inner area of your tooth, causing infection.
After Other Treatments: We won’t jump to a root canal for every ailment. Instead, we try conservative treatments first. If those don’t resolve your issue, we may then try endodontics.
Dental Decay: Like with trauma, decay can eventually eat away at your tooth enough to cause infection and risk the health of not only the tooth, but the rest of your smile and even your whole body.
People associate root canals with pain because patients are often already in pain prior to getting the procedure. In reality, the procedure is designed to get you out of pain. The treatment can even relieve some forms of sensitivity immediately, such as to hot or cold temperatures. This is because a root canal removes the nerves in your tooth.
Root canal pain after your procedure is also manageable. You can use over-the-counter pain medications or prescription ones if you prefer.
It depends on which treatment you’re getting, which tooth is being treated, and any complexities in your case. For instance, some people have unusual tooth anatomy, such as more than the typical number of tooth roots.
However, we can finish most endodontic treatments in one to two visits, each lasting around 60-90 minutes. Let us know if you’re particularly nervous or have a specific schedule so that we can accommodate you.
At Artaza Dental, our team of experienced professionals has all the necessary qualifications and decades of experience in providing endodontic treatments. Dr. Artaza takes pride in his dedication to patients and providing top-notch service so each patient can feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire process. We understand that every case is unique, and each will require independent methodology and assessment. That is why we invest our time and resources in doing what is best for each patient.
