Root canal therapy

Gentle relief from tooth pain

If a tooth is aching, a root canal is often the answer, and it is far more comfortable than its reputation. It relieves the pain and saves your natural tooth, so you can keep your own smile.

What it does

From an aching tooth, to relief

A root canal is about ending pain and keeping your own tooth, not causing discomfort.

Before

An aching tooth

Pain, throbbing, or sensitivity to hot and cold that will not settle.

After

Comfortable relief

We ease the pain and save the tooth, so you can get back to normal.

What to expect

Easier than you think

You are kept comfortable

The area is fully numbed before we start. Most people relax, and some even doze off.

We gently treat the tooth

We clear the problem inside the tooth and seal it, easing the pain at the source.

Your tooth is saved

We often finish with a crown so the tooth is strong again.

Far easier than its reputation

A root canal relieves pain, it does not cause it. With the tooth fully numbed, most people find it about as easy as a regular filling, and you can go at your own pace the whole way.

  • Does a root canal hurt?

    It relieves pain rather than causing it. The tooth is fully numbed, so most people find it comfortable, much like a filling.

  • Why save the tooth?

    Keeping your own tooth is usually the best option for your bite and smile. A root canal lets you do that.

  • How long does it take?

    It can often be done in one or two visits, and we plan the timing around you.

  • Do you bill my insurance directly?

    Yes. We bill most plans directly and accept the CDCP, and we confirm your coverage first.
