Is it possible to make root canal treatment a positive experience? When you’re as skilled as our doctors and as caring as our staff, yes.

Our doctors are experienced in administering local anesthetics and, if needed, sedation. We’re going to make sure you are comfortable during this endodontic procedure and that you understand what we are going to do. Our dental assistants are expert in helping you stay relaxed; please let them know of any concerns or questions you have.

Once you are fully numb, the tooth to be treated will quickly be opened and infected soft tissue, bood vessels, and nerve canal on the inside will be cleaned out. The canals running through the center of the tooth will be sterilized and then filled with sterile materials. To conclude the procedure, we will close up the tooth with a filling.

If you suspect that you need a root canal, please don’t delay.

The Root Canal Procedure
The root canal procedure can begin once you are fully numb. First, the tooth is carefully opened to expose the soft tissue within. This is also called the pulp, which contains blood vessels and nerve canals. Infection or damage to the pulp may occur due to trauma, decay, or other factors, leading to tooth pain. This can cause severe pain and threaten the health of your tooth. Through root canal treatment, we can remove the infection, save the tooth, and prevent the need for extraction--preserving your natural teeth.
Cleaning and Sterilization
The infected tissue is carefully removed after the tooth has been opened. We carefully remove any diseased tissue using advanced tools to ensure that the inside of your teeth is free from infection and bacteria. To eliminate harmful bacteria, the nerve canal and canals that run through your tooth's center are sterilized. After the canals have been thoroughly cleaned, they are then filled with sterile material that supports the tooth and helps prevent infection.
Sealing and Restoration
Sealing the tooth with a dental filling is the final step of root canal treatment. It helps restore and protect the tooth's function. A crown can be used to strengthen a tooth that has been damaged or weakened due to decay. The tooth will be fully functional and protected against further damage, preserving natural teeth.
Aftercare and Follow-Up
After the procedure, our team will ensure that your recovery is comfortable and smooth. You will receive clear instructions on how to care for your wounds to ensure that they heal properly.
