Root canals are one of my favorite procedures in all of dentistry, because lots of times the patient comes in and they have a throbbing toothache, and in less than an hour, I can have that completely alleviated. Even when the numbness wears off, they have more toothache. And it’s such an intricate procedure. I love the fine detail of restoring that tooth. And so, when a patient comes in for a root canal, we finish it up with a crown to help hold the tooth together and seal it off from your oral environment. This way every patient leaves here feeling peace of mind and comfortable that their tooth is now protected and that they have a restored smile.

It’s better to keep your natural teeth whenever possible. Your tooth keeps nearby teeth from shifting out of place. It makes it easier to chew and eat. And it keeps your jaw strong and intact. A root canal procedure can be the lifeline that restores your tooth to its natural state.
We want you to be as relaxed as possible during your procedure. If you’re feeling anxious, we can offer laughing gas for a calm experience. From there, you can expect a comfortable process:
- You will receive a local anesthetic to numb your infected tooth and the surrounding tissue.
- When you are ready, our team of professionals will carefully remove the infected tissue from your mouth.
- After cleaning the inside of your tooth, we’ll fill it with a rubber-like material that reduces your risk of another infection.
- We restore the appearance and function of your tooth with one of our same-day dental crowns. Using the CEREC system, we design and create your crown in our office, saving you from more trips to the dentist and allowing you to return to normal sooner.
When your treatment is finished, the pain of your toothache will go away in a short time. You’ll be able to eat without discomfort once again. You don’t have to do anything special to care for your tooth after it’s been fixed. Just brush, floss, and get regular dental cleanings, and your restored tooth can last the rest of your life.
