My experience with Artistic Dental is always polite, caring, personable, and professional. I came here after having gone years without seeing a dentist and they took time to do a careful analysis of how to place me on a treatment plan to having a healthy mouth again, without suggesting removal of all my teeth that were compromised or beginning to fail. Their service approach is very gentle and informative as they move through the treatment keeping you aware of what is taking place. Their passion for patient care is tremendous and greatly appreciated. If you are looking for professionals who are great at their craft, look no further. I am grateful for the attention to detail and the customer service approach.

Feel Better & Save Your Tooth With a Root Canal
Even though you may not want to think about it, you may someday find yourself needing a root canal. If you have a cavity that goes untreated or a tooth that suffers injury, infection can reach the soft inner part of the tooth known as the pulp chamber. When this happens, It can really hurt.
In these cases, a root canal procedure is often the best way to repair the tooth. The process for a root canal is straightforward:
- Dr. Ekpenyong will access and clean out the infected pulp from inside the tooth.
- He will shape and repair the root canals to ensure proper repair.
- He fills the tooth with a durable, rubber-like material. This maintains the tooth’s structure and prevents problems with it.
- The final step is resealing the tooth and covering it with a new crown. The crown can sometimes be made in our office while you wait. This saves you the trouble of wearing a temporary and returning to the office for another appointment.
After the crown is placed, you can expect to have nearly all your biting and chewing capacity restored. Plus, you won’t be in pain any longer and your tooth will still be in place.
Root canals in South Holland are sometimes necessary. Call Artistic Dental Centre today at 708-578-5875 to schedule an appointment. You can also make an appointment online. Don’t suffer any longer!
Common Questions About Root Canals
Root canals are needed when the pulp inside the tooth becomes diseased. This can happen either when a cavity goes untreated and infection spreads to the pulp, or when a tooth undergoes some sort of trauma that allows bacteria inside. In either case, we can usually save the tooth with root canal treatment.
When we perform a root canal procedure, it is because the soft inner portion of the tooth (known as the pulp) has become infected. For this procedure, your dentist will access the pulp through the top of the tooth, clean it out, sanitize and shape the root canals, and seal the tooth back. This treatment allows us to save your tooth while stopping your pain.
Some insurance providers help cover the cost of root canals. We’ve also seen differences between plans from the same provider. We accept many insurance plans, and our team will do all we can to get you the maximum benefit. Also keep in mind our many payment options to help you manage the costs of your care.
