Grand Traverse Endodontics offers a comprehensive range of endodontic services, primarily focusing on root canal treatments. This includes: Root Canal Therapy: A common procedure to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp, preventing the need for extraction. They utilize advanced techniques to ensure the procedure is as painless and comfortable as possible. Root Canal Surgery (Apicoectomy): For cases where conventional root canal treatment isn't sufficient, this surgical procedure helps locate and treat fractures or hidden canals, or address damaged root surfaces and surrounding bone. Endodontic Retreatment: Addressing previously treated root canals that have failed or become reinfected. The clinic is committed to utilizing cutting-edge technology to enhance patient care and treatment outcomes. Their advanced equipment includes: GentleWave Procedure: A state-of-the-art alternative to traditional root canal treatment that uses a combination of fluid dynamics and soundwaves for ultracleaning of the root canal system, promoting a minimally invasive approach and potentially reducing the number of appointments. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): Provides highly accurate, 3D radiographic images for precise diagnosis, planning, and treatment of endodontic disease with minimal radiation exposure. Surgical Microscopes (Carl Zeiss): Offer unparalleled magnification and illumination, allowing for enhanced vision and the ability to detect minute details, which is crucial for successful endodontic microsurgery. Digital X-rays: Reduce radiation exposure by nearly 90% and provide instant, enhanced images for improved visualization and diagnosis. Apex Locators: Devices used to precisely measure the length of the tooth's roots electronically, reducing the need for multiple X-rays during treatment. Ultrasonics: Devices that use high-frequency vibrations for precise and conservative removal of tooth structure or fillings. Patient testimonials consistently highlight the clinic's professionalism, compassionate care, and the pain-free experience provided by Dr. Kass and his team. Many patients report feeling relaxed, with some even dozing off during procedures, a testament to their gentle techniques and comfortable environment.
