Save Your Natural Tooth

What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a procedure to repair and save a tooth that is severely decayed or infected.

It is an alternative to having a damaged tooth extracted.

The procedure involves removing the tooth's infected nerve and pulp.

Choosing a root canal helps prevent abscesses and infections.

If you notice any of these symptoms, you may need a root canal and should contact our office immediately.

What Happens During a Root Canal?

The root canal procedure typically requires two office visits, performed either by our dentist or a specialist.

First Visit – We take X-rays, numb the area, and carefully remove the infected pulp.
Temporary Filling – A temporary filling is placed to keep the area clean between visits.
Final Restoration – We fill and seal the tooth, often followed by a dental crown for protection.
