What Is GentleWave?
GentleWave is an advanced, minimally invasive technology used during root canal treatment to provide a more thorough approach to cleaning the inside of the tooth while preserving natural tooth structure. By helping address infection throughout the root canal system, GentleWave can support successful treatment while allowing patients to keep more of their natural tooth. At Purchase Endodontics, Dr. Priscilla Lavagnolli combines extensive training with advanced technology like GentleWave to provide high-quality endodontic care for patients in Paducah, KY.
How Does GentleWave Work?
GentleWave is incorporated into the root canal procedure after Dr. Lavagnolli accesses the inside of the tooth and prepares it for treatment. During the GentleWave portion of the procedure, treatment fluids and multisonic energy help remove remaining bacteria, tissue, and debris before Dr. Lavagnolli fills and seals the root canal system to help prevent reinfection. GentleWave does not require a separate procedure, and treatment can typically be completed in about 60 – 90 minutes, depending on the tooth and complexity of the case.
What Are the Benefits of GentleWave?
GentleWave offers several benefits that can enhance the root canal experience while helping preserve the health and strength of the natural tooth, including:
- Thorough cleaning of complex root canal anatomy
- Preservation of more natural tooth structure
- A minimally invasive approach to treatment
- Reduced need for traditional instrumentation
- Treatment that can often be completed in one visit
- Support for long-term preservation of the natural tooth
Purchase Endodontics Reviews
Highly recommend Dr. Shields! Very professional and kind. Answered all my questions and was very patient with me. All the staff there are very nice and welcoming too!
Great experience. Fast , efficient, and friendly. Didnt once feel like I was rushed with any questions I had. Definitely recommend!
This was my first root canal. I had heard horror stories years ago of people having very painful experiences. This was just the opposite. It was a fantastic experience. I was not in any pain or discomfort, even for a second. The dentist and the dental assistant spent all the time needed to answer all of my questions and to reassure me that what I was doing was the right thing. It was overall just a very pleasant experience. All of the people who work there seemed to be friends with one another and they all listened and genuinely seem to care about your comfort and stress level. I would highly recommend this office, Dr. Seitzinger and his staff.
Absolutely amazing experience! So pleasant, caring, went the extra for me which is so rare these days. I only wish I could go there for all my dental needs.Thank you!!Laura P.
