Root Canal
Relieves tooth pain and saves an infected tooth. Many root canals are completed in a single visit.
A root canal removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, relieves pain and lets you keep your natural tooth. Root canal therapy at our office is provided by Dr. Nima Moradi Majd, and modern techniques make it about as comfortable as a filling.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
You may need a root canal if you have lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, a severe toothache, swelling, or a tooth that has darkened. A 3D CBCT scan helps us see the roots clearly.
What to Expect
We numb the tooth, clean and disinfect the inside, then fill and seal the canals. Many teeth then need a crown to protect them. Nitrous oxide is available if you feel anxious.
Common Questions
Quick answers to questions we hear often. See all FAQs
Does a root canal hurt?
The tooth is fully numbed. Most patients say it feels similar to getting a filling, and it relieves the pain of the infection.
Can a root canal be done in one visit?
Many root canals are completed in a single visit. Ask about our one-day root canal.
Do I need a crown afterward?
Back teeth usually need a crown to protect them after a root canal.
