A root canal is a common dental procedure that is performed when a tooth has decayed or been damaged.  A dentist removes the pulp from the center of the tooth and fills the cavity to prevent the spread of infection to the surrounding teeth.

What to Expect During a Root Canal Treatment   

1. The dentist will carefully numb your gums, teeth, and tongue with anesthesia to ensure the process is as painless as possible.
2. The pulp from the damaged tooth will be removed and the resulting cavity will be filled with a temporary filling.
3. A permanent filling or, in some cases, a crown is usually required after the initial procedure.

Painless Injections

We now proudly offer painless injections to all of our patients. Painless injections work by sending a signal to your nerve receptors to essentially close the “pain gate” to your brain, allowing you to enjoy a pain-free and low-stress dental experience.
