Root Canal Therapy
Comfortable, modern treatment that saves an infected tooth and relieves your pain.
Root canals have a bad reputation — modern ones don't deserve it
Today's root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. When decay or infection reaches the inner nerve of a tooth, a root canal removes the infection, relieves the pain and lets you keep your natural tooth instead of losing it.
Why save the tooth
Keeping your natural tooth protects your bite, your other teeth and your smile.
Common questions
Does a root canal hurt?
The area is fully numbed, so most patients feel little more than during a routine filling — and it ends the pain you came in with.
How do I know if I need one?
Lingering pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling can be signs. An exam and X-ray will confirm it.
How many visits does it take?
Most root canals are completed in one or two appointments.
Will I need a crown afterward?
Often yes — a crown protects the treated tooth and restores full strength. We can plan that with you.
