A typical root canal treatment is designed to remove bacteria from infected canals, gums, and teeth. One of our certified prosthodontist professionals begins the procedure by guiding our designated anesthesiologist to apply the appropriate sedation and proceeds to prepare the area around the soon-to-be-treated tooth. The Prosthodontist then creates an opening in the tooth, removes the dental pulp, and cleans, disinfects, and re-shapes the pulp chamber and root canals. Finally, the tooth is filled, sealed, and prepared for the placement of a restorative piece, most typically a crown.

Frequently Asked Questions
When Do I Need A Root Canal?
A root canal is recommended when a tooth is infected, deeply decayed, or has experienced serious trauma. Common signs include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or tenderness when chewing. Treatment saves the natural tooth and prevents infection from spreading.
What Happens During Root Canal Treatment?
After appropriate sedation, an opening is made in the tooth to remove the infected pulp. The pulp chamber and root canals are then cleaned, disinfected, and reshaped. Finally, the tooth is filled and sealed, ready for a restoration such as a crown.
Is A Root Canal Painful?
Root canal treatment is performed with appropriate sedation to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Rather than causing pain, it relieves the pain caused by infection, and most patients feel relief soon after treatment and can return to chewing and smiling with confidence.
Why Choose A Root Canal Instead Of An Extraction?
A root canal saves your natural tooth, eliminating the need for a surgical extraction. It restores your bite and chewing ability, maintains the natural appearance of your smile, and reduces the risk of potential jawbone damage that can occur after tooth loss.
Do I Need A Crown After A Root Canal?
In most cases, yes. After a root canal, the tooth is typically restored with a crown to protect it from fracture and restore its strength, function, and appearance. Our onsite laboratory creates custom crowns for a precise, natural-looking fit.
