Root Canal and Endodontics
How It Works
It is easy to follow these six steps to learn how root canal therapy works in Glendale Heights.
-
1
Consultation and X-Rays
The starting point of your visit is a full examination and X-rays to see whether canal root therapy in Glendale Heights is the appropriate solution to your case.
-
2
Numbing and Preparation
Before isolating the tooth, your dentist, carrying out root canal therapy, will ensure that the area is numbed in order to give you a pain-free experience.
-
3
Cleaning of the Canal
The infected or damaged pulp is ruthlessly removed, and the inner canal is washed and then disinfected with the help of sophisticated rotary tools.
-
4
Filling and Sealing
The space is cleaned, then a special medicated dental material is placed in the space in order to shield your tooth and stop future infection.
-
5
Restoration
To give the tooth more strength, a temporary or permanent filling (and in many cases a crown) is inserted to normalize the chewing process.
-
6
Follow-Up and Smile Maintenance
You will be given your own instructions to adhere to and make an appointment with the dentist to check and give you the right follow-up that will ensure your tooth has fully healed and feels natural once more.
Before and After Smile Gallery
This is how different precision and expertise are. Whether it was a tooth of the worst condition possible, or a tooth that has been completely rebuilt, our endodontic services in Glendale Heights have restored the smiles of many, many smiles, with their comfort and confidence restored.
Our Other Services

Dental Implants
A dental implant is a prosthesis or artificial tooth that is surgincally implanted into the bone of the jaw and has quickly become an industry standard for tooth replacement. If you are missing teeth, Essentials Dental can evaluate your dental and oral health and help you determine the best solution for your smile!

Emergency Dental Care
Whether a broken tooth, a lost filling, or persistent toothaches, seeking immediate treatment can limit the need for costly treatment or lessen the risk of permanent damage. It is our pleasure to partner with you in the event of a painful and distressful dental emergency.

Endodontics & Root Canals
The soft tissue or pulp provides nutrients to the tooth. If the nerve of a tooth becomes diseased, it may need to be pulled out. Our root canal treatments make it possible to save the tooth and can be accomplished relatively simply within one to three visits.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Combining artistry and science, our team of highly trained dental professionals can help you create the beautiful smile you deserve. Some of our cosmetic dental services include veneers, teeth whitening, bridges, crowns, dentures and invisible aligners.

If I could rate 10 stars, I would 10x over, every last member of staff was beyond exceptional, and incredibly informative. I don't remember the last time I left the dentist feeling "WOW'd", they took all my concerns and questions with the utmost care and made my whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. I also liked that they asked questions about myself to better get to know me, which I felt was just a nice gesture, made you feel more than just another patient. I look forward coming back here for all future visits.Posted on angela cassidyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend. To put it simply, Essentials Dental is the best! After not going to the dentist for a few years (um, yikes), I was seriously dreading my appointment, but was put so much at ease from the minute (not kidding) I walked through the doors by the friendly faces, positive energy, and dare I say it, ambiance at Essentials Dental. Dr. Mach, her superior staff of dental assistants and hygienists (special shout out to Lindsay), as well as the front desk & administrative support staff, took such great care of me. Dr. Mach worked so diligently and efficiently. She and her staff did a thorough job, they are professional and courteous (up the wazooo), and gave out such a positive energy & supportive vibe that I'm actually (kinda) excited to schedule my next cleaning/visit!
