Root
Canals

The root canal procedure is a simple treatment that can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for dental implants or bridges.

Dr. Hubert will remove the pulp inflammation or infection inside the tooth. Consequently, this should also remove the pain. Then he will fill and seal the space. With modern techniques and anesthetics, most patients don’t feel any pain during the procedure and experience relief after the we remove the infection.

Once the treated tooth heals, we will fit it with a crown or other restoration to make the tooth look and work like new again. Learn more about our same-day crown and tooth restoration system.

A root canal treatment is a dental procedure that involves removing the inflamed or infected pulp from the inside of the tooth. The tooth is then cleaned, disinfected, and filled to prevent further damage. This treatment is necessary when parts of your tooth become inflamed or diseased. If you feel any of the following you may need a root canal:

• Pain
• Sensitivity to heat and/or cold
• Tenderness when you touch your face in the area of the tooth or when you chew
• Discoloration of the tooth
• Swelling, drainage, and/or tenderness in the lymph nodes in your neck and in the bone and gum tissues surrounding the tooth.
• But you may not have any symptoms at all.

Root canal treatment saves millions of teeth each year. It eliminates the need for tooth extraction, allowing patients to keep their natural teeth. Moreover, root canal treatment alleviates pain, stops infection, and restores the function of the tooth.

After a root canal treatment, it’s crucial to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent further issues. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups will ensure the longevity of the treated tooth and your overall oral health.
