Root canal therapy is an endodontic procedure that removes diseased or inflamed pulp, disinfects the canals and seals them with gutta‑percha. After the canals are cleaned, the tooth is rebuilt with a filling or crown for strength and function. We offer retreatment root canals when previous therapy fails, a pulpotomy to partially remove the nerve in developing teeth and an apicoectomy (endodontic surgery) to remove infection at the root tip.
This treatment is recommended when deep decay, cracks, repeated dental work or trauma have inflamed the nerve. Preserving your natural tooth helps maintain your bite and jawbone better than extraction and implants. With modern anaesthetics and sedation, most patients feel little more than pressure. Techniques such as nickel-titanium files, ultrasonic irrigation and 3-D imaging allow precise and controlled treatment. A crowned, root-canal-treated tooth can last for decades with good oral hygiene.
Root canal therapy may be needed when infection or inflammation reaches the nerve inside the tooth. Common signs include:
If you notice one or more of these signs, an exam and X-ray can confirm whether root canal therapy is needed.
We use gentle techniques, modern anaesthesia and sedation, so a root canal feels similar to getting a filling. You stay relaxed while we work.
Root canals save your natural tooth, preserving bite and jawbone. Treating infection early prevents the need for extraction or implants.
Digital 3‑D imaging, rotary instruments and ultrasonic irrigation help us clean canals thoroughly and perform efficient single‑visit treatments.

An untreated infection in the pulp can lead to persistent pain, swelling, abscesses and tooth loss. Root canal therapy removes diseased tissue, eliminates bacteria and preserves your natural tooth. This prevents shifting of adjacent teeth, maintains chewing ability and avoids the need for bridges or implants.
Endodontics also supports long‑term oral health: by keeping your tooth root, you preserve bone and gum tissue, maintain facial contours and avoid uneven chewing forces. Modern techniques make the procedure predictable and comfortable.
Root Canal vs Tooth Extraction
Root canal therapy saves your natural tooth and maintains proper chewing and bite balance. Extraction removes the tooth and often requires replacement with an implant or bridge to avoid shifting and bone loss.
Does a Root Canal Hurt?
Root canal therapy is performed with local anesthesia, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. In fact, many people feel relief once the infection is removed. Mild soreness afterward is normal and usually fades within a few days.
Early treatment stops infection and protects your tooth. Call now or book your visit online to get relief and prevent further damage.
