Root Canal Treatment and Endodontic Services in Williston Park, NY

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, relieving pain and preventing the spread of infection—all while preserving your natural tooth. The procedure involves carefully cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system, then sealing it to protect against reinfection. With modern anesthesia and technique, most patients find the process far more comfortable than they expect, and it’s one of the most effective ways to save a tooth that would otherwise require extraction. Common warning signs include persistent tooth pain, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting, swelling, or a dental abscess. Learn about the signs you may need a root canal →

Root Canal Retreatment

If a previous root canal hasn’t fully healed, or a treated tooth becomes reinfected over time, root canal retreatment can often save the tooth and avoid extraction. Using advanced imaging such as CBCT scans, we carefully reassess the tooth’s anatomy, identify the source of the ongoing issue, and reclean and reseal the canals to resolve it—frequently in one or two visits with minimal disruption to your routine. Retreatment provides another opportunity to preserve a painful or infected tooth that has already received root canal therapy. Learn how advanced endodontic care helps preserve natural teeth →

Tooth Resorption Treatment

Tooth resorption occurs when the body’s own cells begin breaking down tooth structure from the inside or outside—often without obvious symptoms until it has progressed. Early diagnosis is critical. Depending on the type and severity, treatment may include root canal therapy, endodontic surgery to remove damaged tissue, repair of the affected root surface, or another tooth-preserving procedure designed to stop further progression.

Cracked Tooth Repair

A cracked tooth can range from a minor concern to a serious risk of infection and tooth loss, depending on the crack’s depth and location. Symptoms can include sharp pain when biting, sensitivity to temperature, or discomfort that comes and goes. We start with a careful diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the damage, then recommend the right cracked tooth treatment—which may include root canal therapy and restorative care—to relieve discomfort and protect the tooth’s function.

Endodontic Surgery and Apicoectomy

When infection or inflammation persists around the tip of a tooth’s root after root canal treatment, endodontic surgery can provide another opportunity to save the natural tooth. During an apicoectomy, the affected tissue and root tip are removed and the end of the canal is sealed. Advanced imaging and precise microsurgical techniques help target the source of the problem while protecting the surrounding area. Learn about apicoectomy and root-end surgery →

Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy uses energized oxygen to fight infection, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing. It’s a science-backed, minimally invasive addition to treatment that targets bacteria, viruses, and fungi without harming healthy tissue—often used alongside root canal therapy, for gum disease, or at surgical sites to support faster, more thorough recovery. Gentle Touch Endodontics brings this advanced dental ozone technology to patients seeking modern root canal care in Williston Park and across Long Island.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

For patients who feel anxious about dental treatment, nitrous oxide sedation (“laughing gas”) helps you stay calm and comfortable throughout your procedure. It takes effect within minutes, wears off quickly afterward, and allows you to remain awake and responsive—a safe option for both adults and children who want a more relaxed experience. Nitrous oxide can make root canal treatment and longer endodontic procedures feel easier and less stressful.
