Root canal therapy

A root canal treats infection inside a tooth, relieving discomfort and helping save the natural tooth structure. Many patients are surprised by how straightforward the process feels once they understand the steps — especially when everything is explained clearly and taken at a steady pace.

Root canals help protect your long-term oral health and can prevent the need for extraction when the tooth can still be safely restored.

What root canal therapy helps with

• Deep decay or internal tooth infection
• Sensitivity or lingering pain
• Discomfort when chewing or biting
• Preserving a natural tooth when possible

Why root canals matter

When the inside of a tooth becomes infected, the discomfort can escalate quickly. Treating the problem early stops the infection from spreading and helps avoid more serious complications. Root canal therapy lets you keep your natural tooth and restores comfort in a predictable way.

What happens during treatment

We numb the area, remove the infected tissue, disinfect the inside of the tooth, and shape the canal. The tooth is then sealed to help keep bacteria out. Many teeth treated with root canals benefit from a crown afterward for added strength.

Throughout the visit, we move step by step and make sure you feel supported the entire time.
