Root canal therapy
When the inside of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, discomfort can build quickly. Root canal therapy removes the affected tissue, cleans and shapes the canal, and seals the tooth to prevent further issues. We take a calm, step-by-step approach, checking in often and explaining each stage clearly so you always know what to expect.
Why you might need one
- Deep decay
- Infection within the tooth
- Fractures affecting the nerve
- Lingering sensitivity or toothache
What treatment is like
Your dentist explains the process beforehand, ensures the tooth is fully numb, and moves at a steady, comfortable pace throughout the appointment. After the infected canal is cleaned and sealed, we review next steps — including whether the tooth would benefit from a crown to maintain long-term strength.
