Root Canals
Overview
Root canals are performed to save teeth that are badly decayed or infected. By treating the tooth from the inside, we can relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth for long-term function.
When It's Needed
Symptoms that might indicate the need for a root canal include persistent pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, tenderness, swelling, or a darkened tooth. Infection or trauma can damage the inner pulp and require treatment.
How It Works
During the procedure, we remove the infected pulp, disinfect the root canals, and fill the space with a biocompatible material. In most cases, the tooth is then protected with a crown to restore its strength and appearance.
Your Comfort Matters
Modern techniques and local anesthesia make the experience similar to receiving a standard filling. We focus on minimizing discomfort and ensuring you feel informed and relaxed during your visit.
Why Act Quickly
Delaying treatment can allow the infection to spread, leading to abscesses or tooth loss. Early intervention improves success and prevents complications.
