Modern root canal therapy relieves pain and saves your natural tooth — often in one comfortable visit.

Root canal therapy has an outdated reputation. In reality, it's a routine, comfortable procedure that removes infected tissue from inside a tooth, relieves pain, and lets you keep your natural tooth rather than losing it.
We use modern numbing techniques and a gentle approach to make the experience as easy as possible.

Questions
Common questions about root canal therapy
With modern anesthesia, most patients report the procedure feels similar to getting a filling — the pain patients usually feel is from the infection beforehand, not the treatment.
In most cases, yes — a crown protects the treated tooth, which can become more brittle over time, from future fracture.
