From the inside.
When the nerve inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal removes what's hurting from the inside — clears the canals, seals them, and protects what remains. The tooth stays. Modern anesthesia and technique make it as routine as a filling, and the relief is usually immediate.
Many cases we handle ourselves. For complex roots or re-treatments, we coordinate directly with a trusted endodontist and stay involved from start to finish — so you're never left to find the right specialist on your own.
When a root canal is the right call.
-
i.
A lingering ache that won't quit.
Pain that wakes you at night, throbs after hot or cold, or lasts long after the stimulus is gone — signs the nerve is involved.
-
ii.
A deep cavity that's reached the nerve.
Treated from the inside so the tooth can be saved instead of extracted.
-
iii.
A cracked tooth with internal damage.
Sealed and rebuilt so the tooth can carry on chewing without flaring up.
-
iv.
Swelling, tenderness, or a darkening tooth.
Quiet signs of infection in the root — addressed early before they spread.
