BUFFALO GENERAL DENTISTRY

 

ROOT CANAL

IN BUFFALO, NY

 

A root canal procedure may be needed to address infections at the base or root of the tooth. Buffalo General Dentistry is proud to provide patients with high-quality preventative, cosmetic, restorative, and general dentistry services in a warm, comfortable office setting. With more than 15 years of experience, Dr. Daniel Jammal is happy to offer root canals to patients in Amherst and the neighboring communities of Buffalo, NY.

What is a Root Canal?

A root canal procedure addresses an infection or growth of bacteria in the base or root of the tooth. Not only does a root canal eliminate the infection beginning to grow at the root of the tooth, but it also helps prevent the spread of the infection into the tooth itself. Dr. Jammal and his expert team of dental professionals are proud to offer root canal treatments that are both quick and comfortable, so patients can get the treatment they need without having to take a large amount of time out of their busy schedules.

How Do I Know If I Need a Root Canal?

Dr. Jammal and his team may recommend undergoing a root canal procedure if you’re experiencing:

  • Pain when biting down or chewing
  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Pimple-like growths on the gums
  • Swollen and tender gums
  • Decay and darkening of the teeth

What Can I Expect During My Root Canal Procedure?

Your root canal will be performed by Dr. Jammal and his expert dental team in our comfortable office. Before your root canal begins, Dr. Jammal will administer local anesthetic to your treatment area. Once the area is numb, a dental dam may be applied to keep your tooth clean throughout your procedure. Dr. Jammal will then begin to clear decayed and diseased portions of your tooth. Once the entire root, inside, and outside of the tooth is clean, the openings made in the teeth will be filled with composite resin. As a result of the root canal, teeth often become brittle, so protection of the treated tooth with a dental crown is recommended to ensure longevity.  This crown will match the natural look and feel of your tooth. This entire treatment process may take more than one visit to complete. Dr. Jammal will be happy to walk you through the details of your root canal during your visit. 

How Much Does a Root Canal Cost?

The cost of your root canal will vary depending on the extent of treatment needed to help you achieve your healthiest smile. The best way to find out how much your root canal will cost is to come in for a private appointment with Dr. Daniel Jammal. In addition to working with most insurance providers, we are happy to offer flexible financing options through CareCredit®, Proceed Finance, Cherry, and an in-house Smile Club Loyalty Plan. 

Dr. Daniel Jammal and the dental professionals at Buffalo General Dentistry can’t wait to help you get the bright smile you deserve. With more than 15 years or experience, Dr. Jammal is proud to offer general, restorative, cosmetic, and general dental services to residents of Amherst and the neighboring communities of Buffalo, NY.

If you’re looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients, I highly recommend Buffalo General Dentistry. From the moment you walk through the door, the entire staff treats you with the utmost respect, kindness, and compassion. You can tell they genuinely care about your comfort and your overall dental health not just getting you in and out the door. They take the time to thoroughly explain every treatment plan, review your options with complete transparency, and make sure you understand exactly what to expect. That level of honesty and attention is hard to find. Today I had to have a tooth extracted, and I can honestly say it was the best dental experience I’ve ever had. Dr. Jammal is incredibly gentle and has an amazing bedside manner. I’ve never had another dentist numb me with Novocaine the way he did. Usually when a dentist says..Just a little pinch. It’s not just a tiny pinch lol but!! With Dr. Jamal, that “tiny pinch” was actually just a tiny pinch. I barely felt it. Before I knew it, my tooth was out. The entire process was quick, smooth, and painless. Throughout the procedure, he constantly checked on me and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. His dental hygienist was equally amazing so gentle, patient, and thorough. You can tell everyone on the team genuinely enjoys what they do. And his dental assistant brought such positive energy into the room! Her charisma and personality instantly made me feel more relaxed and comfortable. Dr. Jammal is clearly passionate about helping people achieve healthy, beautiful smiles, and it shows not only in the exceptional care he provides but also in the incredible team he has built around him. Every single person I interacted with was professional, caring, and all around absolutely wonderful. This includes the ladies at the front desk! :) I could go on and on about how great Dr. Jammal and the entire team at Buffalo General Dentistry are. My family has officially found our forever dental care home, and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re searching for a dental office that truly puts patients first, do yourself a favor and check out Buffalo General Dentistry. You will NOT be disappointed. I highly, highly recommend them!
