Root Canals
More people thank us after a root canal than any other procedure. Surprised? When someone needs a root canal, they are usually in severe pain, which can even interfere with sleep. A root canal gets rid of this pain AND they can keep the tooth. Patients are so relieved the pain is gone, they have even fallen asleep right in the dentist chair! Our goal is to address the source of the pain to allow you to return to a pain free state.

When the interior of your tooth is infected, it can cause a lot of pain and is likely to damage the nerve. If left untreated, the infection could spread to other teeth. Root canal therapy removes the infection and relieves the pain, restoring the tooth and allowing us to save it
