Save Your Natural Tooth
Root canal treatment removes infection from inside a tooth, helping to save it from extraction. Modern techniques make the procedure comfortable and highly successful, allowing you to return to normal eating and smiling with confidence.
A root canal is a dental procedure that treats infection within the tooth’s pulp, the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels. When this area becomes infected due to decay, cracks, or trauma, the tooth can become painful and inflamed.
During treatment, the infected tissue is removed, the canals are cleaned and shaped, and the tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection. A crown is often added afterwards to strengthen and protect the tooth long-term.
Root canal therapy is designed to save your natural tooth and avoid the need for extraction.
