Save your tooth, comfortably
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.
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.
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.
Whether you're sure about treatment or simply exploring your options, a calm conversation with Dr. Karimi is a great place to start. Same-day appointments are often available.
