Save your tooth, comfortably

Dental Root Canal

A modern root canal has almost nothing in common with its reputation. With today’s anesthesia and gentle techniques, most patients describe the visit as no more eventful than a routine filling — and walk away with their natural tooth saved.

Why we treat instead of pulling

Natural teeth, kept healthy, are still the best replacement for natural teeth. A root canal removes infected nerve tissue, disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it — so the tooth itself can stay in place and keep doing its job.

What to expect

Numbing, comfort first. Most root canals are completed in one to two visits. We almost always finish with a crown that protects the treated tooth from future fractures.

Signs you might need one

  • Sharp, lingering pain when biting or with hot/cold
  • A pimple-like bump on the gum near a tooth
  • Darkening of a single tooth
  • Swelling or tenderness near a tooth
  • Severe pain that wakes you up at night
