We offer gentle and effective root canal therapy to save damaged or infected teeth and relieve pain. Our advanced technology and expert care ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience, helping you preserve your natural tooth and restore its function.
A root canal may sound intimidating, but with modern techniques and local anesthesia, the procedure is as simple as getting a filling. If you are experiencing tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity, our team is here to provide quick relief and long-lasting solutions. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to worsening infections, abscess formation, and potential tooth loss. Our goal is to prevent these complications and restore your dental health as quickly and painlessly as possible.
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to remove infection and save a damaged tooth. Inside each tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, it can cause severe pain and swelling.
Eliminates infection and discomfort, allowing you to chew and speak normally again.
Prevents the need for tooth extraction and costly replacements like dental implants or bridges.
Allows normal chewing and biting force without pain or sensitivity.
Stops bacteria from affecting other teeth and surrounding tissues.
With a dental crown, your tooth looks and functions just like a natural, healthy tooth.
Many people delay treatment because they are unaware that their symptoms indicate a serious dental issue. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, a root canal may be necessary:
Ignoring these symptoms can allow infection to spread, leading to increased pain, bone loss, and even systemic health issues. Early root canal treatment saves teeth, reduces costs, and prevents unnecessary pain and complications.
At Creative Smiles Family Dentistry, we ensure that root canal therapy is a comfortable and efficient procedure. Our goal is to save your natural tooth while ensuring long-term oral health.
We begin with a thorough exam and digital X-rays to assess the extent of infection and determine the best treatment approach. Our imaging technology allows us to detect decay and damage accurately, ensuring the best treatment outcome.
We use modern anesthetics and sedation options to ensure a pain-free experience during the procedure. Many patients report feeling no more discomfort than they would during a standard filling.
A small opening is made in the tooth to access and gently remove the infected pulp. The inside of the tooth is then thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and promote healing.
The empty canals are filled with a biocompatible material, ensuring stability and preventing reinfection. This step restores the inner strength of the tooth and allows it to function normally.
A root canal-treated tooth is often weakened and more prone to fractures. To restore strength and aesthetics, a custom-made dental crown is placed over the treated tooth. This protects the tooth from future damage and ensures a natural appearance.
