A root canal doesn’t have to be scary. With modern techniques and compassionate care, we save your tooth, stop the pain, and protect your smile.
A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside your tooth. When decay or injury reaches the pulp (the tooth’s nerve and blood supply), it causes pain, swelling, or even abscesses.
Instead of pulling the tooth, a root canal cleans the infection, seals the inside, and restores the tooth with a crown or filling. This allows you to keep your natural tooth, maintain your bite, and prevent more serious oral health problems.
At 97 Smiles, our root canal therapy is gentle, efficient, and focused on making you comfortable.
Root canal therapy does more than stop pain. It:
It’s not just a dental procedure, it’s a way to restore your comfort, confidence, and health.
We remove the fear by walking you through every step:
X-rays pinpoint the infected area and confirm root canal therapy is the right choice.
Local anesthesia fully numbs the area. Sedation options are available for anxious patients.
Using precise tools, we remove infected pulp and bacteria from inside the tooth.
The canals are cleaned, shaped, and sealed with safe, durable materials to prevent reinfection.
Most teeth need a crown afterward to restore full strength and appearance. We’ll design one to look completely natural.
And through it all, our team is here to answer questions, ease any concerns, and celebrate your progress with you.
Here’s how we make orthodontics work for real people and real families:
With today’s technology and anesthesia, root canals are no more painful than a filling.
Keeping your tooth is better for your bite, jaw, and long-term oral health.
We accept most insurance and offer CareCredit, Sunbit, and in-house plans to keep treatment affordable
Root Canal Therapy at 97 Smiles is for you if:
📌 You have tooth pain or sensitivity that won’t go away.
📌 You’ve been told your tooth is infected or dying.
📌 You want to save your natural tooth instead of extracting it.
📌 You want gentle care, clear answers, and affordable options.
Not with today’s techniques. Root canals are done under local anesthesia, with sedation available for extra comfort.
Most root canals can be completed in one or two visits, depending on complexity.
Usually yes. A crown protects the treated tooth from breaking and restores full function.
Extraction may seem easier, but losing a tooth leads to shifting, bite issues, and often the need for implants or bridges. Saving your natural tooth is best when possible.
Most insurance plans cover part or all of root canal therapy. We’ll check benefits and explain costs upfront.
