Root Canal Therapy

Dr. Farid Noie provides root canal therapy to help you regain a healthy mouth and smile. This endodontic treatment can prevent you from needing your tooth extracted or from having more extensive and invasive procedures to restore your oral health.

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy, commonly known simply as root canals, is a type of endodontic treatment that is recommended when the dental pulp becomes infected or damaged. The dental pulp is the innermost layer of the tooth which contains the nerves and blood cells. When injury or decay reaches past the outer layer of enamel and into the pulp, it can cause significant pain and may eventually cause the tooth to die. A root canal removes the damaged tooth tissues without extracting the tooth so that you can once again enjoy a healthy smile.

The Root Canal Treatment Process

When you receive a root canal, our dentist will begin by making a small opening into your tooth. The injured and infected tissues are removed, and then the tooth is thoroughly cleaned before being filled with a medicated material to prevent reinfection. Finally, our dentist will cap the tooth with a dental crown to restore its shape, structure and strength. Most root canals can be completed in one or two appointments.

Root canals have a reputation for being uncomfortable or even painful. However, thanks to advances in technology, treatment techniques and sedation options, your procedure can be completed more quickly and comfortably than ever before. Our dentist and team will take special care to ensure your comfort throughout your entire procedure.
