At 24th Street Dental in Phoenix, AZ, we understand that sudden tooth pain or sensitivity can be alarming. Do not ignore it because these are signs of an infected or damaged tooth that needs attention right away. Our experienced endodontist, Dr. Nima Moaven, provides precise and comfortable treatments that eliminate pain, save your natural teeth, and restore lasting oral health.
When infection threatens your smile, time matters. With our advanced technology, including the GentleWave® System, available exclusively at our practice in Arizona, we can treat root canals more efficiently, more comfortably, and with greater precision than ever before.
Endodontics is the dental specialty that focuses on diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth, particularly the pulp and roots. An endodontic treatment, commonly called a root canal, is used when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, cracks, or trauma, in order to save the natural tooth.
At 24th Street Dental, our goal is to preserve your teeth, relieve discomfort, and prevent future complications using advanced tools and gentle techniques.
The earliest and most reversible stage, gingivitis, involves inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup. Symptoms include redness, bleeding when brushing, and mild swelling.
If untreated, gingivitis can advance into periodontitis. At this stage, the inner layer of the gum pulls away from the teeth, forming pockets that collect bacteria and debris. This leads to tissue breakdown and bone loss.
Severe periodontitis can result in loose teeth, painful chewing, gum recession, and even tooth loss. It also increases the risk of systemic health problems, including heart disease and diabetes.
Endodontic therapy not only saves your natural teeth but also protects your overall oral health. It allows you to return to normal eating, speaking, and smiling without discomfort.
Here is what endodontic treatment can do for you:
Delaying treatment can lead to abscesses, bone loss, and tooth loss. Acting early ensures faster and more predictable recovery.
At 24th Street Dental, Dr. Nima Moaven performs a range of advanced endodontic procedures to protect your teeth:
Removes infected pulp and seals the tooth to prevent reinfection.
Corrects earlier treatments that have failed or developed new problems.
Removes infection at the root tip to save the tooth.
Treats internal fractures to prevent worsening damage.
Restores teeth damaged by impact or injury.
Each procedure is performed using the latest innovations, including our advanced GentleWave® System, which uses soundwave technology and fluid motion to clean the entire root canal system with minimal discomfort and faster recovery.
At 24th Street Dental, we are proud to be the only general dental practice in Arizona that owns a GentleWave® machine. This system transforms the way root canal treatments are performed.
Unlike traditional methods that depend only on manual tools, the GentleWave® procedure uses multisonic soundwave energy and fluid dynamics to clean microscopic spaces inside the tooth that conventional instruments cannot reach. This means:
The GentleWave® System reflects our commitment to providing the most advanced, comfortable, and effective care in Phoenix.
