What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure that can save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted. The treatment involves removing infected or inflamed tissue and bacteria from deep within the tooth. We prioritize preserving your natural smile and ensuring your long-term oral health.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Root canal therapy is typically necessary when the pulp inside your tooth becomes inflamed or infected. Common signs that you may need a root canal include:
  • Severe toothache when chewing or biting down
  • Persistent sensitivity to hot and cold
  • Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
  • Swelling and tenderness in the surrounding gums
  • A recurring pimple on your gums
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule an appointment with us for an accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment.

The Root Canal Procedure

While root canals can cause anxiety for some, our compassionate team is here to ensure your comfort throughout the entire process. The procedure generally involves the following steps:
  1. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the affected area.
  2. A small opening is made in the tooth.
  3. The infected pulp is removed, and the tooth is cleaned and disinfected.
  4. The tooth is filled and sealed with a biocompatible material.
  5. A crown or other restoration is placed to protect and restore the tooth to full function.
We use the latest dental technologies to ensure that your root canal is safe, effective, and as comfortable as possible.
