What is root canal therapy?
Root canal therapy treats the inside of a tooth when the nerve or pulp has become irritated, infected, or damaged. The infected tissue is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned, and the tooth is sealed so it can be restored and protected.

FAQ
Find answers to common questions about root canal treatment, comfort, recovery, and tooth preservation.
Root canal therapy may be recommended when the tissue inside a tooth becomes infected, inflamed, or damaged.
Treatment is designed to relieve pain caused by infection. We take a gentle, comfort-focused approach throughout your visit.
The timeline depends on the tooth and the extent of the damage, but many treatments can be completed in one or two visits.
Many treated teeth need a crown or another restoration to restore strength and protect them from further damage.
When appropriate, root canal therapy can remove infection and preserve your natural tooth instead of requiring extraction.
Temporary tenderness may occur, but most patients can return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
