Improved Protocol
The GentleWave Procedure uses a minimally invasive protocol to access the infected root
canal system, which means it is preserving more of the natural tooth and, in doing so, is helping
to keep the tooth’s structure strong. With the GentleWave Procedure we can also typically
clean and fill the tooth in just one appointment, which may reduce the number of appointments required.

OUR SERVICES
Root Canal Therapy
When a tooth has an inflamed pulp (nerve) or if the tooth has already died and is infected, root canal treatment is necessary in order to save the tooth. The inflamed or infected tissue inside the tooth is removed using rotary instruments and disinfecting solutions. After this, a rubber-like filling material is placed in the canals along with a sealer (cement) to seal the root canal. In most cases, this can be done in a single visit. If your doctor requests it, Dr. Hansen can place the permanent filling after the root canal is done, or a temporary filling is placed and your dentist will do the final filling.
Root Canal Retreatment
Occasionally, a tooth that has already had a root canal may need to have it done again for a variety of reasons. When this is needed, the previous filling material is removed and attempts are made to clean and disinfect the canals as best as possible. Following that, it is essentially the same procedure as the root canal. In many instances, an antibacterial medicine is placed in the canals for a few weeks before you return to finish the treatment.
Dental Insurance
We are preferred providers with many dental insurances, including Aetna, Ameritas, Anthem, Cigna, Connection Dental, Delta, DMBA, GEHA, MetLife, Principal, Regence BCBS, Samera Health, Select Health, United Healthcare, Zelis, and others. Please call and ask if we accept your insurance.
Apical Microsurgery
(Apicoectomy)
There are some instances when a root canal or retreatment are not recommended. In these instances, a procedure called Apicoectomy may be performed. A small incision is made in the gums to expose the jaw bone and roots. A small window is made in the bone adjacent to the root that is being worked on. The tip of the root is usually removed along with any infected tissue, and the canals are cleaned and filled from the root end. Dr. Hansen will place a few stitches to close the incision.
Conscious Sedation
If you feel nervous about the receiving endodontic treatment, we offer nitrous oxide analgesia (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Please note that if you decide to use sedation, planning ahead is required. You will need a consultation first and someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
3D & Digital Imaging
Dr. Hansen uses the latest advancements in x-ray technology. All images are digital, including the use of a 3D CBCT machine. This machine gives Dr. Hansen the ability to see your tooth in 3D, which greatly aids in diagnosis and treatment.
