The GentleWave Procedure
Since 2018, the clinic has offered the GentleWave® Procedure, which uses a combination of liquids to clean the inside of infected teeth, including the deepest and most complex areas of the root canal system. The clinic notes that it was one of more than 700 offices nationwide to adopt this technology.
