It’s always best to save a tooth and keep your natural smile whenever possible. We can help you save a tooth through a root canal procedure.

Root canal treatment is needed for two main reasons: infection or irreversible damage to the pulp. An untreated cavity is a common cause of pulp infection. The decay erodes the enamel and dentin of the tooth until it opens into the root canal system, allowing bacteria to infect the pulp. Infections inside teeth don't respond to antibiotic treatment. The inflammation caused by the infection restricts the tooth's blood supply, so antibiotics in the bloodstream can't reach the infection very well. The reduced blood supply also limits the pulp's ability to heal itself. The pulp also can become damaged from trauma, a fracture or extensive restorative work, such as several fillings placed over a period of time. With our technology and quality care, we can help you save your natural smile to
last a lifetime.
