Root canal therapy
When the inside of a tooth becomes infected, discomfort can build quickly. A root canal removes the source of the infection, relieves pain, and allows the tooth to stay in place. Many patients are surprised by how manageable the treatment feels once they understand what’s happening.
We take things step by step, explain each stage clearly, and make sure you feel supported throughout the appointment.
Why you might need one
Infection inside a tooth doesn’t heal on its own. Without treatment, it can spread, weaken the surrounding bone, or lead to more complex concerns. A root canal removes the infection before it grows, helping protect your long-term oral health.
What treatment is like
We numb the area for comfort, carefully clean and shape the inside of the tooth, and seal it to prevent reinfection. Afterward, we’ll talk about whether a crown is recommended to keep the tooth strong moving forward.
