ROOT CANAL PROCEDURE
For the best in endodontic treatment
Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth. When one undergoes a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed.
There’s no need to be worried if your dentist or endodontist prescribes a root canal procedure to treat a damaged or diseased tooth. Millions of teeth are treated and saved this way each year, relieving pain and making teeth healthy again.

There are several benefits to choosing root canal therapy. This treatment can:
-
Prevent infection from spreading to other teeth.
-
Ease the symptoms associated with an infected tooth.
-
Reduce the risk of jawbone damage.
-
Eliminate the need for tooth extraction.
Root canals are considered safe and effective. This procedure boasts impressive success rates of up to 98%.
The only alternative to root canal therapy is tooth removal. Even though it’s best to save natural teeth whenever possible, extraction may be necessary to preserve your oral health.
If you’re not a good candidate for root canal treatment, the tooth can be extracted and replaced with a dental implant, dental bridge or partial. To learn more about root canal vs extraction, call us today.

“I am not as much afraid as I get nervous and annoyed during longer appointments. I had a bunch of work done under sedation and I was done when I woke up. A super stressful day turned into a relaxing long one. I was good to go the next day. I have to admit that I loved my dentist visit for the first time in a long time. Thank you Dr. Jalali”
