Root Canal Treatment in Greensboro
What is a root canal?
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for dental implants or bridges.
At the center of your tooth is the pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature, or pain in the tooth and gums.
Don’t Suffer From Tooth Pain Any Longer!
Pain in your tooth or gums may be a symptom of infected pulp. Piedmont Endodontics can perform a Root Canals to treat the infected pulp, relieve pain, and save your natural teeth!
If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. Root canal therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required. Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of cases. If your tooth is not amenable to endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you will be informed at the time of consultation or when a complication becomes evident during or after treatment.
Drs. Baird, Stanley, Malueg, Horwitz, Morrow, Mohorn, Schweizer and Grine use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. In addition, we will provide nitrous oxide analgesia, if indicated. You will be able to drive home after your treatment, and you probably will be comfortable returning to your normal routine.

Endodontic Presentation
To provide you with a better understanding of endodontic procedures, we have provided the following multimedia presentation. Many common questions pertaining to root canal therapy are discussed.
What happens after treatment?
When your root canal therapy has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. You should contact their office for a follow-up restoration within a few weeks of completion at our office. Your restorative dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth. It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery. If a problem does occur, however, we are available at all times to respond. To prevent further decay, continue to practice good dental hygiene.
How much will a root canal cost?
The cost associated with root canals can vary depending on factors such as the severity of damage to the affected tooth and which tooth is affected. In general, endodontic treatment is much less expensive than tooth removal and replacement with an artificial tooth.

Patient Review by Linda Q
The Dr & assistant… were awesome.. I had some degree of apprehension but they were great at releasing any apprehension . VERY accommodating..as apparently I was getting a temporary filling & have to make another appointment at my dentist for permanent filling.. I am all about 1 stop shopping… They did accommodate me after giving my dentist a courtesy call..,I love my dentist but after stressing over this root canal for a few weeks (apparently I had this issue with a crown I had done 4-5 yrs ago that my current dentist found.. Piedmont Endo was beyond awesome.. The care I received was Fabulous… No pain or discomfort & I appreciated the continuity of care.. Thanks a ton!!

Big shout out to my girl Sherry. She is the best in trying to comfort me in every step of the process. Her engaging me in a conversation was not just very pleasant but it also took the edge off my nervousness. Dr. Stanley is a very personal professional explaining every step of the process and always keeping me comfort. Under his lead the time flew by and before I realized it I was out of the chair. And Im sure it wasnt the Nitrous oxide 🙂 Who knew that a root canal therapy can be a pleasant experience. But these special human's made it happen. Thank you once again!!

I was blown away by how professional and accommodating the staff was. I was asked several times if I had certain questions regarding the procedure, but even if I had questions, they were quick to inform me of what was happening so I knew what to expect along the way. The assisting staff was so nice and Dr Stanley was as well. I felt at ease the entire time. I feel very prepared for my recovery as well. Thank you!!

Patient Review by Maggie D
everyone was so kind and explained what to expect in each part of the experience from the moment I walked in the door. Kayla put her hand on my shoulder to comfort me when I was a little jumpy at start of appt. Dr. Horwitz explained what he was going to do before starting the procedure but also continued to give me updates on how it was going throughout the procedure. I especially appreciated when I could expect to hear some noises. Everyone was efficient and yet didn't appear rushed even though they were busy. They were all really great.

Dr. Zack Mohorn had a wonderful bedside manner. He and Tonya made sure all my questions were answered, I was comfortable, and most importantly calmed my nerves with friendly conversation and humor.

Patient Review by Randy M
Any time you go to a new doctor you are not sure what to expect. From the minute the front desk staff said hello, it just felt right to be there. The whole staff was awesome. Dr. Stanley was very reassuring that he was going to take good care of me and he did. I may have to have another root canal done and Dr. Stanley and his staff will be the ones that I go to. Very impressed and very appreciative with the whole experience.

Patient Review by Kathleen T
As soon as we walked in, we sensed such a spirit of excellence. Dr. Stanley explained everything, frequently checking with me to make sure I was okay. He was so gentle, professional and kind; and his assistant Tracy, was great as well. April and Chrystal at the front desk were so friendly and helpful. All staff members and the relaxing and beautiful ambiance made a potentially dreadful experience so very pleasant!

Patient Review by Vickie C
Every single person I had contact with, from the initial call to schedule, until I walked out the door after procedure, was professional, kind and courteous. The assistants during 2 separate root canal procedures were right beside me, spoke calmly and were reassuring. It was a different lady each time but they were both great. Patted my hand or shoulder during the numbing which was both comforting and distracting. Dr. Baird was very professional and efficient. I felt like they were focused only on me and did everything they could to make me as comfortable and informed as possible.

Patient Review by Thomas D
Dr. Malueg and Bridgett were absolutely great. They are caring, comforting and made me feel completely at ease during the procedure. They explained everything they were doing, answered any question I had and went over all post instructions so I left with utmost confidence in the experience. I will need another root canal and will definitely request these two caring providers again.

Patient Review by Marty T
This was my first time having a root canal so I was pretty nervous about having the procedure. Dr. Stanley and his assistants were all excellent and took very good care of me. They all took time to explain things as they were happening and asked multiple times if I was doing okay. I really hope this was the first and last root canal for me. If not, I can assure you that I will be contacting Dr. Stanley. Thank you all for making what I thought would be a very unpleasant experience a pleasant one!
