A root canal is a pivotal dental procedure designed to salvage and preserve a severely infected or damaged tooth. The term “root canal” specifically refers to the natural cavity within the tooth, housing the tooth’s nerve and pulp. When this area becomes compromised due to infection or inflammation from decay or injury, a root canal becomes necessary to alleviate pain and prevent further complications. Our talented dentists specialize in delicately removing the infected and damaged tissues from within the tooth, meticulously cleaning it, and then filling it with medicinal material. This process not only restores the tooth’s health but also negates the need for extraction. To bring the tooth back to its original form and structure, we cap it with a restoration, such as a dental crown. Surprisingly, in most cases, a root canal can be comfortably completed in just one or two visits to our office.

While the root canal procedure has historically been associated with pain, it’s important to note that modern methods, advanced equipment, and effective anesthesia have significantly minimized potential discomfort. Every time you visit our office, you can trust our dentists and the entire dental team to prioritize your comfort, creating an environment that makes you feel welcome and at ease. If you’re seeking more information about root canal therapy or have specific concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us promptly. Our ultimate goal is to restore your smile to optimal health.
