Service Overview
Root canal therapy is a highly effective procedure used to treat infection inside a tooth. Instead of removing the tooth, we carefully clean and disinfect the inner canals, then seal them to prevent future issues. With today’s technology, root canals are quicker, more comfortable, and no more intimidating than getting a filling.
When It’s Needed
- Deep decay or a large cavity reaching the tooth pulp
- Infected or abscessed tooth causing swelling or pain
- Cracks or trauma exposing the inner nerve
- Sensitivity to hot and cold that lingers
- Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
Why It Works
- Pain Relief First: Removes the infected pulp to eliminate pain and pressure
- Tooth-Saving: Keeps your natural tooth intact, avoiding extraction
- Sealed for Safety: Canals are cleaned, filled, and sealed to stop bacteria from returning
- Supports Restorations: After treatment, a crown is placed for strength and durability
