Non Surgical 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 root canal 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 root canal treatment 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.

All the staff (especially Elizabeth, for her long term knowledge of our situation) is exceptionally friendly efficient, and courteous. Theresa, our hygienist, over the last year and a half, is very thorough, friendly, and gentle, performing a beautiful job and explaining tips when needed. Dr. Mikhail is very personable, thorough, and informative. We have been getting our dental care at this location for approximately 15 to 20 years.

Dr. Mikail and Orlando were great and made me feel very comfortable even though I have always feared going to the dentist. I will be going here for all of my dental work from now on. The front desk staff were also helpful with financing as I do not have dental insurance.

Our Latest Patient Testimonials
Ok, I am not a paid advertiser for Dr. Mikhail or Dental Plus, I am not a relative nor do I have any personal involvement with either. I am a real patient of Dr. Mikhail's. I was diagnosed in Saint Mary's GA with the need of a root canal. Luckily for me my pain was not unbearable and I was able to shop around. Saint Mary's GA is a small town without much competition, so natural the rule of "Supply and Demand" rules. I did my due diligence and ventured out almost 60 miles from home to find what appeared to be not only a well-informed website, but a business that obviously cared about me as a patient. They almost immediately called and then followed up with an email. Within minutes they were able to sensibly discuss my options and the estimated cost of such. I was sold. Going to Dental Plus for my root canal and cap was, now get this, it was actually enjoyable. To experience a well-functioning business from start to finish was enjoyable. It's easy to complain about poor service, and believe me I do, but I also give praise when I discover a business that still considers the customer as being vital to their business. I highly recommend Dr. Mikhail and his staff at Dental Plus. My overall rating is EXCELLENT, Kudos to you all! Signed: Satisfied Patient
