What Is a Root Canal?

What Is a
Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure designed to treat infection or damage deep within a tooth, specifically in the pulp, which houses your nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, trauma, or cracks, it can cause intense pain and sensitivity.

 

During a root canal, we carefully remove the affected tissue, clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, and then seal it to prevent future issues. In most cases, a dental crown is placed afterward to restore the tooth’s strength and function. It’s a routine treatment that can truly make a world of difference. And the best part? Most patients say it feels no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.

What Is a Root Canal?

Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material is applied to correct issues such as chips, cracks, gaps, discoloration, or uneven tooth length. The resin is carefully shaped and polished to match the natural color and contour of your teeth, so no one will know it’s there but you.

 

The process is simple, comfortable, and typically requires only one visit. No anesthesia is typically needed (unless we’re also filling a cavity), and it doesn’t involve removing too much healthy tooth structure. For many patients, bonding is an ideal introduction to cosmetic dentistry, because it is quick, painless, and confidence-boosting.

Act Fast, Avoid Extraction

Act Fast,
Avoid Extraction

If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, it’s time to have that tooth examined. Root canals aren’t just about treating pain—they’re about protecting what’s still healthy.

Choosing a root canal can help you:

  • Save your natural tooth
  • Maintain your bite and jaw alignment
  • Avoid more complex and costly procedures later

 

While extraction is sometimes necessary, we strive to preserve your natural smile whenever possible. Root canals give us that chance—and with proper care, the results can last a lifetime.
