Our dentists and team prioritize your oral health and comfort. Root canal therapy is a proven treatment that can save teeth affected by infection or damage. Dr. Brian Walczak, Dr. Sage VanAntwerp and Dr. Magdalena Zmek are dedicated to providing gentle, effective care to restore your smile.
Understanding Root Canal Therapy
When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, cracks or trauma, root canal therapy is often the best solution. During this procedure, the infected tissue is removed, and the tooth is carefully cleaned and sealed. This treatment not only eliminates discomfort but also prevents the need for tooth extraction, preserving your natural smile.
Why Choose Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy offers several important benefits:
- Pain Relief: Resolves pain and sensitivity caused by infection or inflammation.
- Tooth Preservation: Maintains the function and appearance of your natural tooth.
- Improved Oral Health: Stops the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and tissues.
- Long-Term Results: Protects your tooth with a durable restoration for lasting strength.
The Treatment Process
Here is what you can expect during your root canal therapy appointment with us:
- Diagnosis and Planning: Our dentists will examine your tooth and use imaging technology to confirm the need for treatment.
- Procedure: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is disinfected.
- Restoration: After sealing the tooth, a crown or filling may be placed to restore its strength and appearance.
The procedure is designed to be as comfortable as possible, with many patients returning to normal activities the same day.
