Save Your Natural Teeth with Advanced Root Canal Therapy

At Island Smiles, Dr. Hardik Patel provides gentle, effective endodontic care to relieve pain and preserve your natural teeth. Using laser-assisted technology and 3D imaging, we ensure precise, comfortable treatment for infected or damaged teeth.

Why Choose Our Endodontic Care?

✔ Tooth Preservation – Avoid extractions by saving your natural tooth
✔ Advanced Technology – Laser disinfection & digital imaging for accuracy
✔ Comfort-Focused – Sedation options for anxious patients
✔ Same-Day Crowns – Protect your tooth immediately after treatment

Our Endodontic Treatments

1. Root Canal Therapy

When It’s Needed:

  • Severe tooth decay or infection
  • Cracked/chipped teeth exposing pulp
  • Abscesses (pus-filled infections)

How It Works:

  1. Numb the area (local anesthesia or sedation)
  2. Remove infected pulp using laser sterilization
  3. Clean & seal the tooth’s interior
  4. Restore with a crown (often same-day)

Most patients recover within 1–2 days with minimal discomfort.

2. Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)

Recovery & Aftercare

When It’s Needed:

  • Persistent infection after a root canal
  • Inaccessible root canal anatomy

How It Works:

  1. Access the root tip through a small gum incision
  2. Remove infected tissue & seal the root end
  3. Preserve existing crowns/bridges (no need to replace them)

Faster healing than tooth extraction!

Recovery & Aftercare

✅ Do:
