Got a toothache that won’t quit? Our gentle, modern root canal therapy relieves pain, saves your natural tooth, and gets you smiling again—often in just one visit.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy (also called endodontic treatment) removes infected or inflamed pulp (nerve) from inside the tooth. After cleaning and disinfecting the inner chambers and roots, we seal the space with a biocompatible filling. This preserves your natural tooth, eliminates pain, and prevents further infection.

Your Root Canal Treatment: Step by Step
- Initial Consultation & X‑Rays
We examine your tooth, take digital X‑rays, and determine if root canal therapy is the best solution. - Anesthesia & Isolation
We numb the area fully and place a rubber dam to keep the tooth dry and free of saliva. - Pulp Removal
Using precise instruments, we remove the infected pulp and clean the inner chambers and canals. - Disinfection & Shaping
We disinfect the canals and shape them to receive the filling material. - Filling & Sealing
A biocompatible gutta‑percha material is placed into each canal, then sealed to prevent reinfection. - Temporary or Permanent Restoration
Depending on your case, we place a temporary filling or move directly to a custom crown to protect your tooth. - Follow‑Up & Final Restoration
We check healing, remove any temporary work, and place your permanent crown—restoring full function and appearance.
