Root canals are often misunderstood, but they play a critical role in relieving pain and saving natural teeth. At Sullivan Dental Center, our dentists and team perform root canal therapy with precision and care, helping patients feel better quickly while preserving their smiles.
This treatment is used when the inner portion of a tooth, known as the pulp, becomes infected or inflamed. Rather than removing the tooth entirely, a root canal allows us to clean the inside of the tooth, seal it and restore its function. This prevents further damage and protects surrounding teeth.
Many patients feel anxious about root canals, but advancements in technology and technique have made the process much more comfortable. In most cases, patients compare the experience to receiving a regular filling.
Focused on Comfort and Recovery
Every patient is different, and our dentists and team take time to understand your symptoms, answer your questions and explain the procedure. Our goal is to make sure you feel confident and informed at every step.
During the root canal, the infected tissue is gently removed, and the space inside the tooth is carefully cleaned and sealed. After the procedure, we place a restoration to strengthen the tooth and restore your bite. Most patients are surprised at how quickly their discomfort fades following treatment. Recovery is generally short, and any mild sensitivity typically resolves within a few days.
