A root canal procedure is as routine and comfortable as a dental filling. It is typically the best way to relieve toothache pain, save a damaged tooth, and preserve your natural smile. At Attune Dentistry, we use the latest technology to provide precise and gentle care.
Preserve your natural smile
With a demonstrated success rate of well over 90%, root canal procedures remain the most effective way of saving a tooth severely compromised by dental decay or injury.
Warning signs you may need a root canal
- Unresolved, persistent pain that wakes you at night
- Extreme sensitivity to hot or cold
- Pain when biting, chewing, or touching the tooth
- Darkened or discolored tooth
- Swelling around the tooth and gums
How is a root canal performed?
Our dentist removes the diseased dental pulp, cleans the internal portion of your tooth, and fills all prepared canals with a biocompatible material. Root canal therapy is performed under local anesthesia with sedation options available.
After treatment
You may experience mild discomfort as the anesthesia wears off, which should subside within days. The treated tooth must be restored with a permanent crown to rebuild its full strength. With proper care, a root-canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime.
