Saving Teeth, Relieving Pain, Restoring Smiles
Hearing the words “root canal” can make anyone nervous. But the truth is, root canal therapy is nothing like the scary stories you may have heard. It’s a simple, effective, and often painless treatment that saves your natural tooth and relieves the kind of toothache you never want to feel twice.
At our office, patients are often surprised by how quick and comfortable the process is—and how much better they feel once it’s done.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a treatment that removes infected or damaged tissue from inside your tooth, cleans and disinfects the space, and then seals it to protect against future problems. Instead of losing your tooth, you keep it—strong, functional, and pain-free.
Why Patients Choose Root Canal Therapy
You may need root canal treatment if you have:
1. Severe, lingering tooth pain (especially to hot or cold)
2. Swelling or tenderness around a tooth
3. A cracked or broken tooth
4. Darkening of a tooth
5. A deep cavity that’s reached the nerve
Not anymore. With modern techniques and anesthetics, most patients say the procedure feels no different than getting a regular filling.
Most treatments are completed in one or two visits, each lasting about an hour.
The tooth is sealed, and in most cases, a crown is placed to restore strength and protect it long-term.
Root canal therapy has a success rate of over 90%. With proper care, your treated tooth can last a lifetime.
Ignoring an infection can lead to severe pain, abscesses, and even tooth loss. A root canal not only saves your tooth but also protects your overall health.
