Root Canals

We understand that the thought of a root canal may seem intimidating. However, it's often the best option to save a damaged or infected tooth. Dr. Josephson and our compassionate team offer gentle, effective root canal treatments that restore your tooth’s health and function, helping you avoid extraction and keep your smile intact.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a procedure used to treat an infected or severely damaged tooth. During the procedure, we will remove the infected pulp inside the tooth, clean and disinfect the area, and then seal it to prevent further infection. A crown is typically placed afterward to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance.

Why You Might Need a Root Canal

Root canals are recommended when:

Severe Tooth Decay: When a cavity extends deep into the tooth and affects the pulp.

Infection: If the pulp becomes infected, it can cause pain, swelling, or an abscess.

Trauma: A tooth that has been cracked or injured may require a root canal to save it.

The Root Canal Procedure

Diagnosis and Consultation: We will assess the tooth with X-rays and discuss the best treatment option.

Treatment: The infected pulp is removed, and the root canal is thoroughly cleaned and sealed.

Restoration: After the canal is sealed, we typically place a crown to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
