Chamblee GA Dentist Offers Root Canal Services

Dr. Cheng, of Yi-Tsu Cheng, D.D.S. & Associates, has been providing Chamblee, Georgia and its surrounding areas with exceptional dental care for over 30 years. The office strives to help its patients achieve a bright, healthy smile and this goal is evident in their customer service and the vast range of dental services they offer their patients.

Yi-Tsu Cheng, D.D.S. & Associates offers dental implants, Invisalign, dental crowns, bridges, and veneers, as well as less traditional dental services such as cosmetic dental procedures and botox administration for various ailments. Along with their plethora of services, the dentistry office of Dr. Cheng specializes in root canals of any type.

The clinic has created a reputation for themselves with their effective root canal procedure. In fact, 30% of the dental practice’s root canal work consists of re-doing a botched root canal done by another dentist. This treatment, which is also known as Endodontic treatment, removes part of the soft dental pulp that is found inside the hard part of the tooth. This dental pulp is made out of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. Just like any other soft tissue found in the body, sometimes the pulp, or part of the pulp, becomes infected, injured, or even dies. In this case a root canal is needed.

It is very important to Yi-Tsu Cheng and her employees that their patients are fully educated on preventative oral health care, as well as any procedures that they might need. It is for this reason that Yi-Tsu Cheng’s practice publishes many educational articles regarding the services they offer. This mindset is an important quality in any dental practice because many people are wary of going to the dentist, especially if they need to undergo a surgical procedure.

The employees at Yi-Tsu Cheng help patients overcome any fears they may have by encouraging them to ask questions, working closely with them to create a treatment plan they’re comfortable with, and providing any informational resources they may need. “Dr. Cheng is an awesome dentist, both thorough and considerate,” says patient Cindy J. “I left feeling that she had gone above and beyond to make sure I fully understood my treatment.”

Although many people are wary of root canals, the process isn’t complicated and often only takes about an hour and a half depending on what type of tooth needs dental work. For back teeth, such as molars, it might be necessary to schedule multiple sessions as larger teeth have several root canals. No matter what type of tooth needs dental work, however, the process is the same. The first step of every root canal is for Dr. Cheng to get an idea of the severity of the infection. To do this, she will administer a local anesthetic before making an opening in the tooth to gain access to the damaged pulp. Dr. Cheng will then remove the pulp and rinse and clean the root canal with very fine, precise dental instruments. The opening in the tooth created by the root canal process is then sealed with a filling.

While the patient is encouraged to eat soft foods in the days immediately following their root canal, many people leave the dentist office with minor soreness and numbness from the anesthetic as the only side effects. Yi-Tsu Cheng, D.D.S. & Associates has created a video that further outlines the root canal process, making the relevant information more accessible for those seeking a Root Canal Chamblee GA.
