WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Testimonials
i had a hole in my tooth for a few months, they got me in as soon as they could and did an amazing job! He fixed my two teeth and well it was getting fixed he spotted another cavity and fixed it right up! it looks great, feels normal, and he even checked how flossing would go and fixed it up so flossing would be easier! best dentist i’ve ever been to, super friendly receptionist and amazing co dentists and the Dr was all about making sure i didn’t have to get a root canal. Super friendly and straight to the point. Even paying out of pocket with no insurance it wasn’t too expensive, especially for how much of an amazing job he did! Thank you guys for taking care of me and making sure i understand everything! i will definitely be back as a regular

Dr. Shibko outlined the same plan that my dentist of twenty years in another state had, but I waited on until I came to Minnesota. Same plan, pure professionalism. He carried out the plan with excellent care, using a soft touch and minimal discomfort. Dr. Shibko is a caring, highly trained person who I would trust my children with. Amanda was his assistant and was personable and relaxing. . She is also very professional and caring.

They put me into their busy schedule because I was in pain. The dentist and staff were all very nice and made me feel like I am important. That was the first time I had ever been there. First time impression is the key to go back or not. I was very impressed and I have another appointment in February. They are honest and very good. I totally recommend going there!!

You’ve just been told that the only solution for the pain in your tooth is the dreaded Root Canal. Don’t panic. We will explain the procedure and make your comfort throughout the treatment a priority.
What is a
Root Canal?
A root canal treatment is performed to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or has become infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.
Some indications of the need for root canal treatment may be:
- Spontaneous pain or throbbing while biting.
- Sensitivity to hot and cold foods.
- Severe decay or an injury that creates an abscess (infection) in the bone
Infected/Inflamed
Pulp Tissue
Technically “root canal” is not the name of the procedure but refers instead simply to the natural cavity found in the center of the tooth. The pulp or pulp chamber is the soft area inside the root canal. The tooth’s nerve lies within the root canal. Occasionally, the internal soft tissue (or pulp) of the tooth becomes infected and can result in a serious infection if left untreated.
In fact, the procedure that laymen refer to as a “root canal” is actually known as a pulpectomy to dentists. A pulpectomy is an endodontic treatment to cure an infected root canal. In the old days, damage to the core of a tooth usually meant it had to be removed. Today, however, a “root canal” procedure (or pulpectomy) disinfects and refills the inside of the tooth, thus preventing pain and limiting damage to the tooth.
The Root Canal
Treatment Procedure
The tooth is first anesthetized then a hole is made down into the pulp. Our periodontist uses tiny instruments to extract the remaining pulp from the tooth, thoroughly disinfecting the tooth canal in the process. Once disinfected, the interior of the tooth is filled with an inert material that helps prevent further infection.
At Excel Dentistry we are trained to perform endodontic treatment.
