Root canal therapy, often simply referred to as a root canal, is an endodontic treatment recommended when the tooth pulp and nerves become infected or damaged. This condition can arise from deep decay or injury that breaches the tooth’s outer enamel layer. Without treatment, the infection can cause the tooth to die, potentially leading to tooth extraction.
To prevent this and restore the tooth’s health, our team carefully removes the infected tissues, cleans the tooth, and fills it with a medicated material. The procedure is typically completed by capping the tooth with a restoration, like a dental crown, to restore its natural shape and function. Utilizing microscope and CBCT technology enhances the precision of the treatment, often allowing us to complete a root canal in just one or two comfortable visits.
Contrary to its reputation, root canal treatment can be minimally discomforting, thanks to modern techniques, tools, and effective anesthesia. Our team is dedicated to ensuring each patient’s visit is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We are committed to restoring your smile’s health with advanced care and a gentle touch.
