A root canal treats infection deep inside a tooth — in the fine canals that hold its nerve and blood supply. Done well, it takes away the pain of an abscessed or badly decayed tooth and lets you keep a tooth that would otherwise be lost.
Treated under the microscope
Our endodontist works under magnification, which makes the tooth’s delicate internal anatomy clearly visible. Canals are cleaned, shaped and sealed with precision, so the infection is removed thoroughly and the tooth has the best chance of lasting for years.
Often in a single visit
When the tooth and the surrounding infection are suitable, the whole treatment can be completed in one appointment — less time in the chair and fewer interruptions to your week. Whether your tooth qualifies is confirmed after an examination.
What to expect
The tooth is fully numbed throughout, so the procedure itself is comfortable — it relieves pain rather than causing it. Mild tenderness for a day or two afterwards is normal. A treated tooth is often protected with a crown so it can chew reliably again.
If you have been putting off a painful tooth, a consultation is the simplest next step.
