Root Canal Therapy

Saving your tooth, protecting your smile

Root Canal FAQs

Every tooth has a foundation—its roots. Inside each root is a special hollow space that contains the tooth’s blood vessels and nerves, known as the pulp. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause intense discomfort and lead to further issues, such as sensitivity when biting, swelling, or a gum “pimple” caused by an abscess.

Root canal therapy is a highly effective procedure that allows us to save your natural tooth and restore its health and function.

  • Root canal treatment involves carefully accessing the hollow space within your tooth, removing the infected pulp, and cleaning the area to eliminate bacteria. This space is then filled with a gentle, biocompatible material to seal and protect the root. After the procedure, a custom crown is placed over the tooth to restore its strength and appearance.

    A properly adjusted bite is essential to the long-term success of your treatment. At Premier Dental, we ensure your crown fits comfortably and functions well to prevent undue pressure on the tooth over time. With proper care, your treated tooth can last as long as your natural teeth.

  • We know that the thought of a root canal can feel intimidating, but modern dentistry has made the procedure virtually pain-free and stress-free. From the moment you arrive, our compassionate team will ensure you feel calm and supported. Most root canal treatments are completed in one to three visits, and you can return to your daily activities with minimal discomfort.

  • Saving your natural tooth with root canal therapy is not only beneficial for your oral health but is also more cost-effective than extracting the tooth and replacing it with a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture. With proper home care, regular checkups, and a well-functioning bite, a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy can last a lifetime.
