Root Canals

Root canal therapy is designed to save a problem tooth. It is a remarkable treatment with a very high rate of success. A root canal involves removing diseased inner tooth tissue, that halts the spread of infection, and restores the healthy portion of the tooth.; before the procedure was developed and gained acceptance, the only alternative for treating a diseased tooth was extraction.

Root canal therapy usually requires one to three visits. Most patients who have a root canal experience little or no discomfort or pain, and enjoy a restored tooth that can last almost as long as its healthy original.
