A simple, routine procedure performed millions of times annually to save your natural tooth , preventing the need for bridges or implants.
At the center of your tooth is the pulp —a collection of blood vessels and nerves that help build the surrounding tooth structure.
Infection or inflammation of the pulp can be caused by trauma, deep decay, cracks, or repeated procedures.
Symptoms may include visible swelling, sensitivity to temperature, or pain in the tooth and gums.
The non-surgical treatment is designed to eliminate the diseased pulp, thoroughly clean the interior of the tooth, and seal the root canal system.
This therapy usually involves one or more visits and has a success rate of approximately 90% of cases. You can typically drive home and return to your normal routine immediately.
Upon completion, contact your restorative dentist within a few weeks for a follow-up restoration (often a crown) to protect the treated tooth.
Complications are rare, but we are available at all times to respond to any concerns. Continue good dental hygiene to prevent future decay.
The cost depends on the severity of the damage and which tooth is affected.
Key Takeaway: Endodontic treatment is generally much less expensive than having the tooth removed and replaced with an artificial tooth (like an implant or bridge).
You'll be happy you choose us for your dental needs!
