A Modern Approach to Tooth Savings: Root Canals Done Right

Root canals have come a long way since their invention. Today, they are a routine and comfortable procedure that can save your natural teeth from damage or decay. At our dental office, we use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure a pain-free experience for you while preserving your healthy smile.

The Surprising Facts: 14 Million Teeth Saved Every Year in the U.S. Thanks to Root Canals

Over 40,000 root canals are performed daily across the United States. That adds up to a staggering 14 million teeth saved every year! Our dental practice is proud to be part of this movement that helps preserve natural smiles and maintain optimal oral health.

When your tooth has been extensively damaged by injury or decay, bacteria can infiltrate the core tissues, known as the dental pulp. This not only causes discomfort but can also lead to more severe consequences for both your oral health and overall well-being. However, there's no need to worry – our skilled dentist is here to help.

While the dental pulp plays a crucial role in developing teeth, it becomes non-essential once the tooth matures fully. By expertly removing this damaged tissue and then cleaning and sealing the nerve canals with biocompatible materials, we can save your natural tooth while preventing any future issues or reinfection.

At our dental office, you'll receive compassionate care from an experienced dentist who will keep you informed every step of the way. Once your root canal procedure is completed, we'll recommend the best restoration options to rebuild the tooth's strength and appearance. Typically, a crown or "cap" is the ideal choice for this purpose. After your treatment, we'll provide instructions on how to care for your tooth until your follow-up visit. With proper care, a fully restored tooth can last a lifetime.

When you choose our dental practice for your root canal needs, you can trust that you're in good hands. Our goal is to ensure every patient enjoys optimal oral health and a beautiful smile.
