How is the GentleWave Procedure different from other root canal treatment options?

By using a less invasive treatment that minimizes the use of manual instrumentation1,3 and saves natural tooth structure2,

  • Over 92% of patients can be treated in one appointment2.
  • Over 96% of patients report mild to no pain after treatment4.
  • Over 97% of patients experience fast healing7.

How does the GentleWave Procedure work?

Through its proprietary cleaning process, the GentleWave Procedure clears bacteria in 3 steps:

  1. Stimulation: A high-pressure stream of fluid is stimulated, creating tiny vapor bubbles that collapse to create multisonic energy.
  2. Activation: Multisonic energy is activated to loosen and dissolve infected tissue and bacteria, including in hard-to-reach areas.
  3. Disinfection: The disinfecting fluid is swirled into a powerful vortex, lifting the infected tissue debris up and out of the canal in a quick 8-minute cycle, allowing for a pristinely clean root canal system.

With its thorough and effective cleaning, the GentleWave Procedure is the modern root canal treatment preferred by patients6 that offers superior cleaning of the tooth, including complex cases.

What is the expected recovery time after the GentleWave Procedure?

Patients are often surprised by how quickly they can return to their busy lives after treatment.

  • Over 97% of patients experience fast healing, with complete healing within 12 months7.

Are there alternatives to standard root canal treatment?

Yes! The GentleWave Procedure is an alternative not only to standard root canal treatment but also tooth extraction or implants.
