The Root Canal Process

For a standard root canal, Dr. Garner will perform several key steps. First, he’ll numb the tooth in question to ensure you don’t feel any discomfort. Then, he will use complex tools to reach its inner chambers. From there, he’ll remove the infected pulp and sanitize the emptied space. Next, the inner chambers are filled with a tooth-colored resin, the tooth is sealed, and a custom dental crown is secured in place to strengthen it.

The Benefits of Getting a Root Canal

It’s no secret that root canals have a bad reputation. However, this restorative dental care is actually good news because:

  • Your tooth can be saved: Root canals can eliminate the infection, saving your tooth in the process. The other option is an extraction, which is much more intensive and requires you to pay for a dental bridge or implant as well.
  • The procedure is virtually painless: Thanks to powerful numbing agents, you won’t feel any pain during your time in the treatment chair. Even after the procedure, we will provide you with aftercare instructions to help you heal comfortably.
  • The final result will look and feel natural: With metal-free restorations, we can effectively protect your tooth and restore the strength of it without drawing unwanted attention to your smile.
