What Is a Rotary Root Canal?

A root canal involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp inside a tooth, cleaning and shaping the root canal system, and sealing it to prevent further infection. Rotary root canal systems use electric-powered instruments that are more accurate, faster, and less uncomfortable than traditional hand files.

Rotary Root Canals in Garden City, MI

At Garden City Family Dentistry, we specialize in saving damaged or infected teeth with rotary root canal therapy. A root canal is a common dental procedure designed to remove infection from the tooth’s pulp, relieve pain, and restore function. Using modern rotary technology, our dentists provide precise, gentle, and efficient treatment that preserves your natural teeth and promotes long-term oral health.

Step-by-Step Rotary Root Canal Procedure

  1. Examination and Imaging – Digital X-rays or 3D imaging assess the tooth structure and infection.
  2. Local Anesthesia – Ensures the procedure is comfortable and pain-free.
  3. Access Opening—The dentist creates a small opening in the tooth to reach the pulp chamber.
  4. Rotary Cleaning and Shaping—Advanced rotary instruments remove infected pulp and shape the canals for filling.
  5. Disinfection—Canals are cleaned with antimicrobial solutions to eliminate bacteria.
  6. Filling and Sealing—Canals are filled with biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
  7. Restoration—The tooth is restored with a crown or filling to provide strength and protection.
