Root Canals

You can receive a root canal procedure at each of our locations. To ensure that your root canal is a painless procedure, we employ the latest and greatest in root canal instrumentation. In the event you require treatment from a specialist, your dentist will organize a referral to one of our recommended specialists for you.

What is a root canal?

Each tooth has several roots. The canals in each root contain nerves. The root canal process involves removing the damaged tooth pulp and nerves inside of the tooth.

We perform a root canal to treat or save teeth that are damaged, infected, or necrotic (dead). A root canal allows us to save a tooth rather than extract it – preventing surrounding teeth from drifting out of place. It helps forgo replacing the tooth with an artificial option – implant, partial bridge, or denture.

Do you think you need a root canal? A trip to your dentist will identify whether or not you need the procedure. A dental exam will help determine potential treatment options. Your dentist will advise you if you can receive the procedure at their office or if you need to consult a root canal specialist.
