Endodontics (Root Canal)

Save your natural tooth and eliminate pain with modern root canal treatment.

Root canal treatment involves removing diseased or infected tissue from inside the tooth and replacing it with a sterile filling material. This procedure often eliminates the need to extract a tooth, allowing you to retain your natural teeth longer.

When Is a Root Canal Needed?

• Severe toothache or prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
• Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
• Swelling or tenderness in nearby gums
• A persistent pimple on the gums
• Deep decay or repeated dental procedures on the same tooth

Modern Root Canal Treatment Is Comfortable

With today’s advanced techniques and anesthesia, root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most patients are surprised at how smooth and painless the procedure is. After treatment, a crown is typically placed to protect and restore the tooth to full function.
