Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
- Saves a severely damaged or infected tooth from extraction
- Eliminates pain caused by infection in the tooth's pulp
- Prevents the spread of infection to neighboring teeth and gums
- Restores normal biting force and chewing function
- Preserves your natural tooth and maintains your smile's appearance
- Modern techniques make the procedure comfortable and efficient
What to Expect
Dr. Vahedi begins by numbing the area to ensure your complete comfort. A small opening is made in the top of the tooth to access the infected pulp chamber. The diseased tissue is carefully removed, and the canals are cleaned, shaped and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
The canals are filled with a biocompatible material to seal the tooth and prevent reinfection. In most cases, a crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore its full strength and protect it from future damage. The entire procedure is typically completed in one to two visits.
Results
Root canal therapy relieves pain and saves your natural tooth so you can avoid the cost and complications of extraction and replacement. With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime, functioning just like any other healthy tooth.
