Root Canal Therapy
Save infected or severely damaged teeth with modern root canal treatment that minimizes discomfort.
Root canal therapy is a highly effective treatment that can save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted. At Dental Corner, we use modern techniques and technology to make root canal treatment as comfortable and efficient as possible.
When the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or severely damaged due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or a crack in the tooth, a root canal is often the best solution. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp tissue, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent future infection.
Contrary to common misconceptions, modern root canal therapy is not painful. Most patients report that the procedure is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Our team uses local anesthesia and gentle techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.
After the root canal is completed, a crown is typically placed over the treated tooth to provide protection and restore its full function. With proper care, a tooth that has had root canal treatment can last a lifetime.
