Endodontic Dentistry
Entrust your root canal to an experienced dentist at one convenient place.
Shattered Teeth Don’t Mend on Their Own
A root canal is a proven therapy for addressing broken, decayed, or abscessed teeth.
Your tooth damage may look catastrophic, but sometimes, a shattered or abscessed tooth can be saved by a root canal. Let our team assess your damaged tooth to see if a root canal treatment is right for you.
You Might Not Need to Lose Your Tooth
We’ll start by taking detailed images of your tooth to assess the extent of the damage and plan your treatment. Then, we’ll gently remove the decay and create a small opening in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber. After that, we’ll carefully clean, disinfect, and shape the root canal before sealing it to prevent future infection—preserving your natural tooth and relieving your pain.
Get to the Real Root of the Problem
We’ll take pictures of your teeth to understand the extent of the damage and create a care plan. Next, we’ll remove the decay—saving the tooth—and create an opening in the tooth’s crown to the pulp chamber. Then, we’ll clean and reshape the canal, hermetically sealing it against future infection when we’re finished.
A Root Canal Team You Can Rely on
Root canals aren’t fun, but they can still be a positive experience. When you choose an experienced team of dentists for your root canal, you can come to the chair with confidence, knowing your oral health is in good hands.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canals (Endodontics)
Root canals are often performed to relieve ongoing tooth pain, so they’re designed to relieve pain in the long run.
But immediately after surgery, you may experience mouth pain and tenderness. Most pain can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and should subside within a few days. Your treated tooth may feel different from your other teeth for a few months, but eventually that sensation will go away, too.
Dentists prefer to perform root canals rather than pulling a tooth because the procedure allows patients to save their natural teeth not just for chewing, but also maintaining jaw structure and a healthy bite. Your natural teeth are precious, and preserving them should always be your (and especially your dentist’s) priority.
The pain you feel from a necrotic (dead) tooth doesn’t come from the dead tissue itself—it comes from the nerves and tissues around the tooth. When the tooth dies, it can cause inflammation in the surrounding gums and bone, leading to discomfort. To relieve the pain and prevent further infection, we need to remove the dead tissue and clean the area thoroughly.
You won’t need to be put to sleep for a root canal. We use local anesthesia to completely numb the area, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. Most patients say it feels similar to getting a filling.
If you’re feeling especially anxious, we also offer sedation options with oral medication to help you feel more relaxed. You’ll be awake, but calm and comfortable throughout the treatment.
