Endodontic and Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is required in several circumstances, including large cavities, infections, unresolved pain, or exposed pulp chambers (the inner layer of the tooth). During the process, we carefully remove the nerve from the tooth and rid any infection or pain.

Easy Does It: Many patients ask if root canal therapy will hurt. It won’t. With today’s advanced analgesics and technology, we ensure you will be completely numb and comfortable. In fact, the entire process can be so comfortable that many patients tend to doze off during the procedure. Often root canal therapy can be completed in a single appointment. We clean out the diseased canal, fill the canal with a biologically inert substance, and seal it from further infection. Sometimes, it is indicated to place a crown on a root canal treated tooth to prevent it from breaking.
