Root Canals
The purpose of root canal treatment is to preserve your natural tooth while eliminating an infection. A root canal infection occurs when decay enters the inner chamber of your tooth. Without treatment, the tooth will not be able to receive vital nutrients and may need to be extracted.
If your tooth is extracted, it is important that you replace the tooth, preferably with a dental implant supported restoration, to restore the tooth from root to crown.
Our team uses advanced dental techniques that are designed to improve the success rate of the procedure while cutting down on your discomfort. With proper aftercare, you can preserve your natural tooth for years to come.
Why Root Canal Treatment?
Our goal is to provide ways to save your natural teeth with the highest possible success rate. The loss of a tooth can be psychologically devastating and the alternatives to replacement can be even more expensive than a root canal itself. If not replaced, the loss of a tooth can have dire consequences, such as: bone loss, teeth movement, collapsing bite, and cosmetic concerns. If you are experiencing tooth pain, contact us to schedule a consultation. We can help determine whether root canal treatment is right for you.
