Non-Surgical Root Canal Treatments
The Basics
Saving the Tooth From the Inside
At the center of every tooth is the pulp, a bundle of blood vessels and nerves that nourishes the tooth as it develops. When that pulp becomes infected, a root canal removes the diseased tissue, then cleans and seals the inside of the tooth, eliminating the infection while keeping your natural tooth in place.

Afterward
Protecting Your Restored Tooth
After your root canal, we’ll schedule a follow-up to place a permanent restoration, often a crown, within a few weeks to protect and strengthen the tooth. Complications are rare, but if anything comes up, we’re available to help. Keeping up with good brushing, flossing, and regular checkups will help your restored tooth last for years.
Why Save the Tooth
Keep Your Natural Tooth When You Can
Nothing works quite as well as your own tooth. A root canal is usually far less expensive than removing a tooth and replacing it with an artificial one, and it lets you keep your natural bite and smile. Of course, if a tooth can’t be saved, Dr. De Oliveira will tell you honestly and walk you through your replacement options.
