A root canal procedure—also known as endodontic therapy—is performed to remove infected or inflamed pulp (the soft tissue inside a tooth that contains the nerve and blood vessels), thoroughly clean and disinfect the root canal system, and then seal the tooth to prevent future infection.
Persistent tooth pain, especially when chewing or biting
Sensitivity to hot and cold that lingers after the stimulus is gone
Deep decay, cracks, or chips in the tooth
Swollen or tender gums, sometimes with a small pimple (abscess) on the gumline
Root canal therapy saves your natural tooth and halts the spread of infection, eliminating pain and maintaining oral health.
The best way to determine if a root canal is needed is with an examination. We may take x-rays to better identify areas of decay or to see if a pulp has been impacted by a break or crack in the tooth. It is recommended that if you need a root canal, it be done as soon as possible to prevent problems. Our goal is to provide you with a healthy, pain-free smile as soon as possible.
Diagnosis & Evaluation
X-rays and clinical exams help determine the exact nature and location of the infection.
Local Anesthesia & Isolation
The area is numbed, and a rubber dam is placed to protect the tooth during treatment.
Pulp Removal & Cleaning
Infected tissue is removed, canals are shaped, cleaned, and disinfected using specialized files and irrigants.
Filling & Sealing
Canals are filled with gutta-percha and sealed with sealing cement to prevent reinfection.
Final Restoration
A permanent crown or filling is placed to restore strength and function to the treated tooth.
