Root Canal
Save your natural tooth — comfortably
Modern root canal therapy relieves the pain of an infected or inflamed tooth and saves it from extraction. With today's techniques and anesthesia, the procedure is far more comfortable than its reputation — and it ends the toothache you came in with.
Why patients choose it
Ends the pain
Removes the infected pulp that's causing your toothache.
Saves your tooth
Keep your natural tooth instead of extracting it.
Comfortable
Done under local anesthesia, with sedation available.
Is it right for you?
- Severe or lingering toothache
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that won't go away
- A deep cavity, crack or abscess
- Swelling or tenderness near a tooth
What to expect
- 1
Numb & access
The area is fully numbed and the tooth gently opened.
- 2
Clean the canals
Infected tissue is removed and the inside disinfected.
- 3
Seal
The canals are filled and sealed to prevent reinfection.
- 4
Restore
A crown is usually placed to protect the tooth long-term.
Recovery
Most patients return to normal activities the next day. Mild tenderness for a few days is normal and eases with over-the-counter pain relief.
Cost & financing
Cost depends on the tooth and whether a crown is needed. Most PPO plans contribute; we provide a clear estimate and offer financing so cost never delays relief.
Technology
- Digital diagnostic X-rays
- Rotary endodontic instruments
- Local anesthesia + sedation options
Frequently asked
With modern techniques, most patients say it feels similar to getting a filling — and it relieves the pain you came in with.
Keeping your natural tooth is almost always best for your bite and jaw. We'll only recommend extraction when a tooth truly can't be saved.
