We begin with a detailed clinical exam and digital X-rays to assess the tooth’s condition and confirm whether root canal therapy is the best treatment. Early and accurate diagnosis helps us preserve your tooth and relieve pain.
Our team creates a customized treatment plan based on your individual needs. We walk you through the process so you know exactly what to expect at each stage of care.
After the procedure, we provide complete aftercare instructions to support your healing. In many cases, we recommend placing a custom dental crown to restore the strength and function of your tooth. We’ll schedule a follow-up visit to ensure your recovery is progressing smoothly.
During the procedure, we gently remove the infected pulp and thoroughly clean and disinfect the canals. The tooth is then sealed to prevent future infection, with your comfort ensured through advanced, patient-friendly techniques.
A root canal is a dental procedure that treats infection inside a tooth’s root system. When bacteria enter through deep decay, cracks, or trauma, they can infect the soft pulp tissue - causing pain and risk of tooth loss.
A root canal removes this infected pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further damage. This procedure helps save your natural tooth and eliminate pain.
