Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment

What is root canal?

In root canal treatment we remove diseased tissue, disinfects the canals, and seal the tooth to prevent reinfection. With modern care, treatment is precise and comfortable.

If you are in urgent pain, please see our emergency dentistry information and call us so we can advise you before your visit.

SIGNS YOU MAY NEED ROOT CANAL THERAPY

• Severe or persistent toothache
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
• Swollen or tender gums near a tooth
• A pimple-like bump or abscess on the gums
• Tooth darkening or discoloration
• Pain when chewing or biting.

Not sure what is causing the pain? We use digital X-rays, intra-oral cameras, and digital impressions with TRIOS to diagnose problems accurately and conservatively.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM ENDODONTIC TREATMENT?

• Adults with infected or abscessed teeth
• Teens with dental trauma from sports or accidents
• Patients with deep decay that has reached the pulp
• Anyone who wants to save a natural tooth instead of extraction

If a tooth cannot be saved, we offer tooth extractions and seamless replacement options like dental implant restoration and All-on-4.
