Restorative Dentistry

Root canal therapy is used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth while helping preserve your natural smile. When the inside of a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, injury, or damage, a root canal can help relieve discomfort and prevent the need for extraction.

During treatment, the infected or inflamed tissue is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned, and the tooth is sealed to help protect it. Afterward, the tooth is typically restored with a crown or other restoration to strengthen it and help it function comfortably.
