Our team of experienced dental professionals specializes in endodontic care, providing effective, comfortable root canal therapy to save your natural teeth and restore your smile.
What is Endodontics?
Endodontics is the specialized branch of dentistry focused on the inside of the tooth, particularly the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the root. Endodontic treatment, such as root canal therapy, is essential when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or injury.
If left untreated, a tooth infection can lead to severe pain or even the loss of the tooth. Our goal is to help you avoid extractions and preserve your natural teeth with our expert endodontic care.

Root Canal Therapy: What to Expect
If you’ve been told you need a root canal, there’s no need to worry. Root canal therapy is a straightforward procedure that can relieve pain, eliminate infection, and save your natural tooth.
During a root canal:
- The inflamed or infected pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed.
- The root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection.
- A restoration, such as a crown, is typically placed to protect the tooth and restore its function.
Most patients find the procedure to be no more uncomfortable than getting a standard filling, and with modern techniques, you can expect minimal discomfort both during and after the procedure.
