Endodontics (Root Canals) in Newport Beach, CA
Do you have persistent tooth pain or an infection? A root canal might be the solution to save your tooth and relieve your discomfort.
When the soft tissue inside a tooth (the nerve chamber) becomes infected or inflamed, the tooth can no longer heal itself. This condition often leads to pain, swelling, or an abscess.
That’s where Endodontics, or Root Canal Therapy, comes in. This modern, highly effective procedure is designed to clean and repair the inside of your tooth.
What Happens During a Root Canal?
During the procedure:
- We carefully access the nerve chamber through the top of the tooth.
- The infected or damaged tissue is removed.
- The canals are thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and sterilized.
- The space is sealed with a special filling material to protect the tooth from further infection.
Is a Root Canal Painful?
Contrary to the old myths, root canals today are performed with advanced techniques and anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable. Most patients experience little to no pain during or after the procedure, and it’s often no more uncomfortable than getting a regular filling.
Why Choose Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy can save your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction and helping you maintain your natural smile. It’s a proven treatment that can restore your tooth’s health and function for years to come.
