Relieve pain and save an infected tooth from extraction.

Dental x-ray used to diagnose a tooth needing root canal therapy

Root canal therapy removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, disinfects, and seals the space to prevent further infection — relieving pain and saving the natural tooth.

Modern root canal treatment is far more comfortable than its reputation suggests. Most patients report the procedure feels similar to getting a standard filling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a root canal painful?
The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia and is typically no more uncomfortable than a filling. The infection causing your pain beforehand is usually far more painful than the treatment.
What happens after a root canal?
Most teeth need a crown afterward to restore strength and protect against future fracture. We'll walk you through next steps at your visit.
How much does a root canal cost?
Cost varies by tooth location and case complexity, and whether a crown is needed afterward. Most PPO insurance plans cover a portion of root canal treatment — we verify your benefits and provide a clear estimate before starting.
