Root Canal Therapy

A Gentle Way to Heal Your Tooth from the Inside Out

We know that hearing the words "root canal" can make anyone feel a little nervous. But we want to reframe what this procedure is all about. A root canal isn’t the cause of pain; it's the solution. It’s a gentle, highly effective treatment we use to remove a painful infection, put an end to your discomfort, and most importantly, save your natural tooth.

At Davis Smile Design, our first priority is always to protect and preserve what nature gave you. A root canal allows us to do just that, healing the tooth from within so you can avoid an extraction and keep your smile whole, healthy, and complete.

Why Saving Your Natural Tooth Matters

Choosing to save a tooth with root canal therapy is one of the best investments you can make in your long-term oral health. When we preserve your natural tooth, we are also protecting the health of your jawbone and the alignment of your entire smile. It prevents the bone loss that inevitably follows an extraction and stops neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.

We believe in providing honest care, and that means recommending the treatment that we would choose for our own families. By saving your tooth, we’re focusing on a durable, lasting solution for your comfort and health.

The Modern, Comfortable Root Canal Process

With Dr. Davis’s steady hands and our advanced technology, the process of getting a root canal is more comfortable and straightforward than you might imagine. She will ensure you are completely numb and at ease before beginning. Once you're comfortable, she will perform a few simple steps to heal your tooth from the inside out:

1. Gently accessing the inner part of your tooth to remove the infected tissue.
2. Thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth’s canals.
3. Filling the canals to restore the tooth’s inner structure and protect it from future infection, using a safe material much like a regular dental filling.
4. Placing a custom-crafted dental crown over the treated tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance for years to come.
