Pain-free relief, done right

Root canals don’t have to be stressful. At Dentist Salud, we are one of the only general practices in Charlotte to offer GentleWave. You’ll be surprised at how easy root canals can be.

Root canals don’t have to be scary

A root canal is a treatment that removes infection from the inside of a tooth while preserving the tooth’s natural structure. Traditionally, root canals involved multiple visits and could leave patients sore.

At Dentist Salud, we’ve reimagined the experience by using GentleWave, a minimally invasive system that uses sound waves and fluid dynamics to thoroughly clean the tooth’s root system. This means less drilling, less discomfort, and a faster recovery with results that help you keep your natural smile for life.

The benefits of root canal therapy

Save your natural teeth

Root canals treat infection while keeping your tooth intact, avoiding extractions or replacements.

Less invasive, more comfortable

GentleWave® requires less drilling than traditional methods, making the process gentler on your tooth and surrounding tissue.

Faster healing

Because the procedure is more precise and minimally invasive, patients typically experience less post-treatment discomfort and a quicker recovery.

Here's what to expect

Step 1

Comfortable preparation

We begin by gently numbing the area so you stay relaxed and pain-free. Our doctors explain each step in your preferred language, so you know exactly what to expect.

Step 2

GentleWave® treatment

Instead of traditional drilling and scraping, GentleWave® uses a combination of sound waves and fluid to thoroughly clean the inside of your tooth, reaching areas regular tools can’t. This means less drilling, less irritation, and a more complete cleaning.

Step 3

Sealing and protection

Once your tooth is clean, we carefully seal and restore it with a filling or crown, protecting it from future infection and keeping your natural tooth strong for years to come.
