Advanced Technologies
Gentle Wave
Effectively cleaning the deepest, most complex
portions1,2 of the root canal system requires incredible innovation—and we are proud to offer that
technology with the GentleWave® Procedure.
The GentleWave Procedure is a state-of-the-art alternative to standard root canal treatment. The
ultracleaning technology of the GentleWave Procedure is an advanced combination of fluid dynamics
and a broad range of soundwaves that work together to reach into the microscopic spaces1,2 and remove
bacteria, debris and tissue.2 The GentleWave Procedure is so effective at cleaning and disinfecting the root
canal system, there’s less chance of failure over time.3
The GentleWave Procedure uses a minimally invasive1 protocol to access the infected root canal system,
which means it is preserving more of the natural tooth and, in doing so, is helping to keep the tooth’s
structure strong. With the GentleWave Procedure we can also typically clean and fill the tooth in just one
appointment,3 which may reduce the number of appointments required.
Achieving an exceptional level of clean requires advanced endodontics—and that’s something we take
pride in providing. Contact us today to discover the GentleWave Difference for yourself.

Digital Radiography
At Cottonwood Endodontics we take all radiographs using digital technology. A sensor about the same size as a film is used to capture the image. The advantages of digital radiography are significant. Digital images are captured with about one-tenth the radiation of conventional film, the images are visible immediately on a computer monitor and can be enhanced and adjusted to provide an optimal image for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Surgical Operating Microscope
Endodontic anatomy is not always visible with the naked eye. Cottonwood Endodontics uses surgical operating microscopes in every endodontic case. The improved visibility and lighting aid in locating and cleaning the canals. In surgical cases, it allows us to minimize the size of the surgical site reducing discomfort and speeding healing.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography 3D
|
Cottonwood Endodontics is a leader in the newest imaging technology, 3 dimensional radiography CBCT machine allows us to take a small 3D image, which can be sliced and rotated to help diagnose and develop a treatment plan. This technology uses very small amounts of radiation (approximately 3 regular dental x-rays and 14 µ5v) to capture an image. Like the practice of medicine before MRI and CT scans, sometimes surgery was performed and teeth opened in order to diagnose teeth.
Cottonwood Endodontics was the first endodontic practice in Utah and one of the first few in the country to embrace the technology. Dr. Warren has lectured nationally and internationally on the use of 3D imaging in endodontics. |
