Evaluation
X-rays let us see the shape of the root canal and check for any infection in the surrounding bone before we begin.

Root Canals
A root canal clears infection from deep inside a tooth so it can be sealed, restored, and kept for years to come, rather than removed.
When it's needed
When a large cavity or an injury lets bacteria reach the inside of a tooth, a root canal clears that infection out. We work under a dry, clean field, using fine instruments to gently clean and shape the canal before it's sealed and restored.
How it works
Every step is planned to protect as much of your natural tooth as possible.
X-rays let us see the shape of the root canal and check for any infection in the surrounding bone before we begin.
With the area numbed and kept dry, we remove the infected pulp and bacteria, then clean and shape the canal.
If there's no infection, the tooth can often be sealed the same day. If there is, a temporary filling and medication clear it first.
A crown, or crown and post, is placed afterward to protect the tooth and restore full function.
