Root Canal Infection: Cyst, Extraction & Prep for Dental Implants
In this case, the patient had previously gotten two old-fashioned root canals at another dentist, one of which had failed and created a nasty infection.

Let’s continue with this week’s What the Yuck series! Here’s the story of a poor lady that had extreme pain around her root canal.
Here’s a great example of how all the modern technology we use can really heal bone quickly in preparation for placement of a new dental implant.
A client had some facial scarring from a dog bite, so I treated him to some scar reduction by using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and our advanced laser.
This patient had decay that kissed the nerve in 3 places. With laser decay removal and a one-day crown, the tooth is still happy.
This patient came into Moonlight Beach Dental for a second opinion. That decision ended up saving her a lot of money, time, and her tooth!
Just another day taking out wisdom teeth without trauma, using our laser, ozone and PRF.
A fractured tooth required extraction (hence the “bruise”). Less than an hour later, a new “pontic” tooth was bonded in.
Holistic dentistry means your dentist considers the effects of dental work on your overall health. This video reviews some of the benefits to you.
This photo by Juliherme Andrade illustrates the old-fashioned and obsolete way of doing root canals – that many (if not most) dentists still perform!
May the 4th be with you! Gone are the dark times of painful, ineffective and old-fashioned root canals. The laser-based method is 100% painless and far superior at cleaning out the wretched hive of scum and villainy in your canal.
This patient was too young to get a final implant, but she HATED her smile. In a few hours we moved her gum tissue up with the laser and milled a new tooth!
This patient had a porcelain backed on metal crown. It was done just a year ago at another dental office.
Non-precious metals caused severe tissue inflammation.
I’ve really been looking forward to this video being done, and now it’s here!
I wanted to make a video highlighting some of the key benefits that Moonlight Beach Dental offers people.
At the same time, the video highlights Moonlight Beach Dental’s whole-body, biologic philosophy – meaning that since teeth are connected to the body, dental health can effect overall health.
I love ice cream, but I have REALLY sensitive teeth. It can be hard for me to eat ice cream or even have cold drinks. But, this can be treated!
In this post, I talk about a laser treatment that is highly effective at opening up the airway and reducing problems from sleep apnea and snoring. It also happens to be completely painless and requires no anesthetic. My patient Brian discusses what the treatment is like, how it worked for him, and you’ll actually get to see the treatment happening.
After a bad tooth repair at another dentist, this patient decided to only let me restore her teeth for her upcoming wedding. So she flew in for 2 days!
This patient came in for a laser treatment to reduce his snoring. He didn’t realize his airway was almost completely closed. In a single visit, we opened up his airway!
Did you know Moonlight Beach Dental can help eliminate snoring issues – in a painless way?
Nightlase is a laser treatment of benefit to people that do not feel rested (even when wearing a CPAP machine), and it can even eliminate snoring.
In just 30 minutes, and with minimal anesthetic, we raised this patients gumline using our new laser.
Ahh! What is that, you say? This here is an extracted tooth with a little something extra on it. The patient came in for a different treatment, but we noticed a “pimple” that was draining on the gum. That pimple was a fistula, and it was pus draining from a failing root canal that was performed years prior at another dentist.
A couple days ago, I used our new laser to remove this huge cyst around a failed root canal. With the laser, No drills were used, and the procedure was painless. (Still want to go to your “regular” dentist?)
