Root Canal Therapy

What is a root canal?



How is a root canal performed?


What happens after treatment?

After getting a root canal therapy procedure done, we suggest placing a crown.  This is necessary to provide a major form of structure to the already weakened tooth.


Usually, a root canal is all that is needed to save teeth with an infected pulp from extraction. In some cases, this non-surgical procedure will not be enough to heal the tooth and the doctor will recommend surgery. The most common surgery used to save damaged teeth is an apicoectomy.  This form of endodontic surgery can be used to treat things such as micro-fractures or hidden canals, damaged root surfaces, or its surrounding bone.
