What Is a Root Canal?
Inside every tooth is a central space filled with living tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected — often due to deep decay, repeated dental work, trauma, or a fracture — bacteria can enter the canal system and begin to destroy the surrounding structure. If left untreated, the infection may spread beyond the tooth, leading to abscesses, bone loss, and serious discomfort. Root canal treatment at Silberman Endodontics removes the inflamed or infected pulp, disinfects the internal space, and seals the canal to prevent bacteria from returning. Our goal with root canal therapy is to preserve the natural tooth, eliminate infection, and prevent the need for extraction. A root canal is an essential option for keeping your natural tooth healthy and avoiding complex treatments in the future. If you're dealing with an infected tooth and exploring your options for root canal therapy, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Drs. Jaime Silberman and Lawrence Posner in Boynton Beach, FL, to discuss how we can make your experience as efficient and stress-free as possible.
How Does a Root Canal Procedure Work?
We'll start with digital imaging and an exam to confirm that the pulp is inflamed or infected. After numbing the tooth, we'll make a small opening to access the tissues inside, including the pulp chamber. Using specialized instruments, we will carefully remove the infected tissue and clean the inside of the tooth. The canals will be shaped and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and create the right conditions for sealing. In most cases, we will place a filling material during the same visit to seal the canals and prevent reinfection. In many cases, we'll recommend a dental crown after a root canal procedure to protect the tooth from fracture and restore full function.
Despite what you might have heard about root canal therapy being uncomfortable or risky, the procedure itself is effective at relieving pain. With our use of local anesthesia and precision dental tools, root canal treatments at Silberman Endodontics are designed to be straightforward, predictable, and comfortable.
What Are the Benefits of Root Canal Treatment?
With proper care, a tooth that has been treated with a root canal can continue to function for many years. This treatment is an essential option for keeping your natural tooth in place while protecting your overall oral health, providing benefits that include:
- Relieves pain and pressure
- Removes infection at the source
- Preserves your natural tooth
- Prevents the need for extraction
- Supports long-term oral health
- Allows normal chewing and function
Root Canal Treatment Reviews
Dr Silberman operates a very efficient office and his assistant was very professional. He carefully explained everything regarding my root canal procedure. Thank you for making this unpleasant experience tolerable!
Today I had a root canal performed by Dr. Posner, and it was truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. Scheduling the appointment was easy, and the treatment itself exceeded all my expectations.Dr. Posner took the time to explain the entire procedure before getting started, which made me feel very comfortable and confident. During the root canal, I barely felt a thing. It has now been over eight hours since the procedure, and I have not needed to take a single painkiller.This was, without a doubt, the best dental experience I have ever had. Dr. Posner’s professionalism, skill, and caring approach are exceptional. I only wish they offered general dentistry as well, because I would gladly make them my full-time dental office.Thank you, Dr. Posner and your entire team, for such excellent care.Ashok Kumar
As a physician myself I appreciate the outstanding care I received on a a challenging root canal .thanks
I was in a lot of pain and my dentist told me I needed an emergency procedure. Dr. Posner at Silberman Endodontics was able to diagnose and do the root canal on the same day. He was kind and thorough in his explanations. I was very happy with the outcome and grateful he could save the tooth. My only advice is to double check with the front desk that they take your insurance. I had to follow up to confirm that it went through.
What can I sayI felt so comfortable with Dr Silverman his stuff I went for a root canal excellent experience explained everything in a great way gentle I honestly never felt so good at a dental officeNo pain at all everytime asking me if I was okI had the appointment at 7:30 now is 4:30 no pain no discomfort whatsoeverThank u so much I wish doctors will be like dr Silberman and stuff !!!!!!!!!!
