Comfortable, fast root canals
Dr. Nadler uses the high-tech Root ZX for accurate root canal therapy.
Dr. Nadler does root canals that are usually completed in one visit and are comfortable. With the use of the motorized rotary instrument he can provide you relief while making your appointment swift. A rotary instrument is a hand piece which allows him to clean and shape the canals faster than using traditional hand files.
As a result, most of Dr. Nadler's root canals can be done in a single visit in under an hour.
With the Root RZ, he can get the exact measurements of the tooth so he can extract all the infected pulp without excessive drilling.
He has extensive experience in root canal therapy and will give you fully professional and gentle work. If properly performed, and under normal circumstances, a root canal-treated tooth can last you a lifetime.

What is a root canal?
A root canal is a procedure that is done to save a tooth that is badly damaged or infected. The pulp, or living part of the tooth, is made up of nerves and blood vessels. It is contained in the pulp chamber, a space inside center of the tooth, which holds the pulp and extends into the roots. It becomes infected or dies for a number of reasons:
- Decay - Bacteria causing tooth decay infects the pulp.
- Trauma - a traumatic injury can cause an inflammation of the pulp.
- Deep fillings - fillings that have to be placed close to the pulp chamber because of tooth decay or tooth fracture.
- Unexplained - sometimes the pulp can become inflamed and can die for no apparent reason.
During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed from the "canal" inside of the root, which is then cleaned, filled and sealed.
