Modern root canals are nothing like their reputation. We eliminate infection, save your natural tooth, and have you comfortable again — usually in a single visit.
A root canal removes infected tissue and seals the tooth — preserving the root and keeping your natural tooth in place for years.
The pain people associate with root canals is actually the infection. The procedure itself relieves that pain under local anesthesia.
Untreated dental infections can spread to the jaw, neck, and brain. A root canal removes the source before it becomes life-threatening.
Saving the tooth with a root canal and crown almost always costs less than extracting and replacing it with an implant — and preserves the bone.
We take digital X-rays to map the root canals and confirm infection. Local anesthesia is administered — you should feel no pain during the procedure.
A small opening is made in the top of the tooth to access the infected pulp chamber.
Infected tissue is removed using fine instruments. The canals are shaped and thoroughly disinfected with antimicrobial solution.
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) and sealed to prevent re-infection.
A tooth after root canal therapy is more brittle. We place a custom porcelain crown to protect it and restore full function.
Modern root canal therapy is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. We administer local anesthesia before anything begins. Most patients say the relief from the infection pain is immediate. You may have mild tenderness for 1–3 days afterward, easily managed with ibuprofen.
