With all of the cooking, shopping, decorating, and traveling
you have to do this holiday season, the last thing you’ll want to deal with
is a toothache. Pain and soreness from a toothache can be so intense; it can
literally render you helpless. That’s why it’s so important to see a dentist to
get a sore or sensitive tooth treated, before the pain and discomfort have a
chance to ruin your holidays. Make an appointment

By Design today. Dr. Santos and Dr.
Folck can get you immediate pain and sensitivity relief with root canal
therapy. Smile By Design provides root canal therapy to patients throughout

What Happens During Root Canal
Therapy?

· The dentist will complete the anesthesia, so
all pain is blocked

·
The infected tooth will be isolated with a
rubber dam

·
An access whole will be drilled into the core of the
tooth

·
The root canal will be cleaned out and shaped

·
The dentist will fill the root canal with gutta-percha and
use a dental sealer to cover the whole

·
A temporary or permanent crown will be placed

Will Root Canal
Therapy Hurt?

No. The compassionate and gentle dentists at Smile By Design take every
precaution to ensure that you are completely calm and comfortable during the
entire procedure. They will also insure that the infected tooth and surrounding
tissues are completely numbed before beginning the root canal
therapy. Besides, the intense pain of a toothache far exceeds any

No Long Waiting Periods with CEREC One Visit Crowns

If you have ever needed car repairs, you know that the
process can be daunting. You have to drop your car off at the repair shop,
get a rental car, and then wait several days (or even weeks) to get your
car back. This is because the repair shop has to order special parts, wait for their delivery, and then begin working on your car. It’s all a
big hassle. The same is true for traditional dental crown procedures. In the past, if you
needed a dental crown, your dentist had to first take impressions of your teeth, construct and place a temporary crown, then wait two weeks
for the crown to be constructed by a dental lab. After this long waiting period, your dental
crown could finally be placed. Not anymore! With the new CEREC (Chairside
Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic) one visit crowns, there’s no
long waiting period for your permanent restoration. You can be in and out with
your brand new crown in one short visit. If you need a damaged or compromised
tooth crowned, make an
appointment with the experienced restorative dentists at Smile By Design today. Dr. Santos and Dr.
Folck can restore your teeth quickly and efficiently using the new CEREC crowns
technology. Smile By Design is
conveniently located in Virginia
Beach, VA and proudly serves patients throughout Norfolk, Sandbridge,
Portsmouth, Fort Story and surrounding communities.
