Root canal therapy is a vital procedure for saving a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. At Lake Travis Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer expert root canal therapy to relieve pain and restore the health of your tooth, helping you maintain your natural smile.
When the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or trauma, a root canal may be necessary. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection. Root canal therapy can save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted, preserving your smile and your ability to chew properly.
Our skilled dental team at Lake Travis Family & Cosmetic Dentistry uses advanced techniques and materials to ensure that your root canal therapy is as comfortable and effective as possible. We understand that the idea of a root canal can be intimidating, but modern dentistry has made this procedure relatively painless, with most patients experiencing little to no discomfort during the process.
After the root canal, we may recommend placing a crown on the treated tooth to provide additional strength and protection. This is especially important for teeth that are located in the back of the mouth, where the forces of root canal therapy chewing are the greatest. Our same-day crown service ensures that you can restore the function and appearance of your tooth without multiple visits.
At Lake Travis Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we are committed to preserving your natural teeth and enhancing your oral health. If you’re experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity, contact us today to see if root canal therapy is the right solution for you.
