Many patients dread the thought of a root canal, but it’s actually a relatively simple procedure and has a very high success rate. First, we’ll create a small point of access in the crown of your tooth and remove the infected pulp. Next, we’ll thoroughly clean the canal and seal it with a tooth-colored material to prevent future infections. If the structure of your tooth needs additional support, a dental crown may be placed over it to ensure it still has proper functionality. Oftentimes, patients are able to return to their daily activities the day after treatment.
