Root canals are often associated with fear and anxiety, but they are essential procedures aimed at saving teeth that have been severely damaged or infected.
The process involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and then filling and sealing the space to prevent reinfection. Using the latest techniques and technologies, we strive to ensure the procedure is as comfortable and efficient as possible. Many patients find that the procedure is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Once the root canal procedure is complete, a dental crown is usually recommended to reinforce the weakened tooth and restore its function and appearance. Contrary to popular belief, root canal treatment doesn’t cause pain – it relieves it. By saving your natural tooth, you can continue to enjoy the benefits of a fully functional tooth for years to come.
