Root canal therapy, often known as a root canal, is a form of endodontic therapy that is frequently suggested when the tooth pulp and nerves become infected or injured. This could happen if an injury or decay penetrates past the enamel’s outer layer and deep into the tooth. This kind of infection and sickness, if left untreated, may kill the tooth and require extraction. Our talented dentists will remove the infected and damaged tissues from inside the tooth, clean the tooth, and fill it with a medicinal material to restore the tooth’s health and prevent the need for extraction. To restore the tooth to its former form and structure, we will cap it with a restoration, such as a dental crown. In most cases, a root canal can be completed in only one or two comfortable visits to our office.

The root canal procedure has a reputation for being painful. However, modern methods, equipment, and anesthesia often make it possible to do root canal therapy with little discomfort. Every time you visit our office, you can count on our dentists and the rest of our dental team to make you feel welcome and comfortable.
