Root canal therapy

Severe tooth decay, as well as injury that has caused infection in the root of the tooth, can create the need for root canal therapy. If you have experienced the following symptoms, you may be a candidate for root canal therapy:

• Sensitivity to hot or cold foods that lingers and is prolonged
• Spontaneous pain or throbbing while biting

The Root Canal Procedure

The root canal procedure, one of our dentists will clean out the infected pulp chamber inside your tooth and repair the damage to relieve pain and clear the infection. Following root canal therapy, our dentist restores the form and function of treated teeth with a post filling and then a  porcelain crown. Porcelain crowns are durable, long-lasting, and provide a superior aesthetic result.
