With Advanced Dentistry TechnologyEndoSequence Technology
For Restoring Your Smile After a Root CanalTo get superior results, our endodontic specialists pair their knowledge and experience with a specialized device called EndoSequence®. EndoSequence is a rotary tool trusted by dentists and endodontists alike during root canal treatment.
It securely seals your root canals after the pulp has been thoroughly cleaned out. This tool is cordless and lightweight, making it easier for our dentists to precisely conduct your care and keep as much of your natural tooth structure intact as your unique case allows.
EndoSequence comes loaded with high-tech additions, like the Expeditor™, which can tell how big your root canals are, allowing our specialists to completely clean out your infection. Finally, its size (just four ounces) also makes treatment more comfortable for patients.
Same-Day CEREC Crowns
For Improved Treatment and Tooth ProtectionThe traditional crown process requires multiple appointments over several weeks to prepare the tooth, design the crown, send it to a dental lab for fabrication, and then restore the tooth.
Foothill Dental does all those steps in one appointment using our advanced CEREC® technology, a computer-aided design and manufacturing unit.
Our precision computer mapping allows us to design custom crowns that are both durable and beautiful. We color-match your crown so it blends in with your natural teeth, and our computer-guided milling ensures the crown fits comfortably and restores your natural bite.

From Start to FinishWhat Are the Risks
Of Untreated Root Canal Infections?You don't want to let an infection go untreated. Not only is it likely painful, but it can travel from the roots of the tooth into the gums and jaw. From there, the infection could seep into the bloodstream and spread throughout your body. Risks you may face include:
- Bone loss around the tip of the tooth
- Tooth loss
- Swelling that can spread to the face, neck, or head
- Sepsis, a dangerous immune system response
Our dentists use the latest techniques in modern dentistry to bring relief and restore your oral health. Treatment now can help you avoid losing the infected tooth and keep you from needing a bridge or dental implant to replace it.
