Stop Your Pain With Root Canal Treatment

Our experienced team is here to guide you through the root canal process with care and compassion. Root canal treatment is a valuable procedure for saving your infected tooth and restoring your oral health. Our dental team uses some of the latest technology to make the process smooth and effective. We start with a thorough exam using digital X-rays and a 3-D cone beam CT scanner. These instruments help us see the inside of your tooth in great detail, allowing for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.

During a root canal, we will:

  • Numb the area to ensure your comfort
  • Remove the damaged or infected pulp
  • Clean and shape the root canals
  • Fill the canals with a special material to maintain your tooth structure
  • Seal the tooth to prevent future infection

After the root canal, we generally recommend capping your repaired tooth with a custom crown. A crown will protect the treated tooth and restore its strength and appearance.

Many patients worry about pain, but modern root canals are typically no more uncomfortable than getting a tooth filled. Our gentle, skillful approach and advanced techniques ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients feel relief from their tooth pain soon after treatment and leave our office much more relaxed than when they came in.

With proper care, a tooth treated with a root canal can last a lifetime. If you’re experiencing tooth pain or have been told you need a root canal, don’t hesitate to get the help you need.
