GentleWave® Technology

At West Alabama Endodontics, our goal is to provide our patients with the highest level of endodontic care and treatment, utilizing the most advanced and efficient technology. One of the various technologies that our practice uses is the GentleWave procedure. This procedure provides a revolutionary way to deep clean the root canals of a tooth—in an incredibly detailed and efficient manner. This is an amazing alternative to traditional root canal cleaning, with several benefits compared to the traditional cleaning method.

How Does This Procedure Work?

The GentleWave procedure uses a minimally invasive protocol to access the infected root canal to deeply access and clean the root. This is made possible by a combination of fluid dynamics and a broad range of sound waves that work together to reach into the microscopic spaces to remove harmful bacteria and debris. With the incredible precision and accuracy of the cleaning, more of the natural tooth is able to be saved and stay strong and functional. 

Our practice is happy to be able to offer such an advanced and effective technology for our patients. The GentleWave procedure allows for high precision and accuracy, leading to fewer failures and issues in the future. In addition, typically this procedure will be able to be completed in as little as one visit, so there is no need for multiple appointments. With this technology, Dr. James Mills is able to reach an even deeper level of the root canal system, leading to advanced cleaning and filling of the tooth.
