Root Canals

Why perform a root canal procedure?

The teeth are subject to damage from bacteria, acids from the foods we eat, trauma from biting into hard objects or  from accidents. If a tooth is severely infected or broken, the dentist can either remove the tooth and replace it with a dental implant, or remove the tooth's pulp and the affected tooth areas. We will then treat the tooth so infection is unlikely to return and cover the remaining natural tooth with a custom fitted crown.

What are the final results of a root canal?

After a root canal, the treated tooth will look and function the same way it did before the procedure. All of the pain and discomfort associated with the infection or trauma will be relieved. Technically, the tooth is "dead" after a root canal procedure since it no longer has any nerve endings or blood vessels, but it will perform as well as or better than a dental implant in terms of chewing, supporting the gum and bone tissues, and maintaining an attractive smile.
