A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures and can effectively save your natural teeth, helping to avoid the need for dental implants or bridges. A tooth may require a root canal for several reasons, including infection, abscess, fracture, trauma, extensive decay, or permanent nerve damage. In most cases, the root canal procedure can be completed in a single visit. One of our dentists will administer a local anesthetic to numb the tooth, jawbone, and surrounding gums. We also offer dental sedation options to help manage any dental anxiety you may have, ensuring a pain-free experience during the procedure.
During a root canal, the dentist accesses the infected or damaged nerve tissue from the top of the tooth and removes it using specialized small files. Once the nerve is successfully removed, the canals are filled with a rubber-like material for sealing. To further protect the tooth from fracturing, it will be prepared for a crown. It is important to crown a tooth after a root canal because failing to do so can cause significant damage, which may eventually lead to extraction.
We specialize in same-day dental appointments and can address your root canal needs promptly. Our dentists are here to assist you with any dental emergency so you can regain your comfort quickly.
