Root canal therapy
When the inside of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, a root canal can relieve pain and help save the tooth. The goal is simple: remove the infection, clean the space, and seal it so your tooth can stay in place.
Most patients are surprised by how straightforward the experience feels once they understand each step.

Why root canals matter
Infection inside a tooth won’t resolve on its own. Treating it early helps you avoid spreading infection or losing the tooth. With a calm and clear approach, the procedure generally feels similar to having a filling.
What happens during your appointment
We numb the area fully, remove the infected tissue, clean and shape the canal, and seal it. Afterward, we review next steps — such as whether the tooth may need a crown to stay strong long-term.
