A tooth may require a root canal for various reasons. A few more common causes are deep cavities, infection, inflammation, or trauma. Most people associate the need for a root canal with a toothache but surprisingly, in many cases, a tooth can be infected and abscessed without any symptoms at all.
If you’re suffering from any of these symptoms, we can perform root canal therapy to restore the tooth's health.
Root canal therapy essentially removes bacteria and sterilizes the infected area of the tooth, which allows healing and relief from discomfort.
After the infected area is cleansed, it is filled and then sealed to prevent further infection.
In most cases a custom crown is required to provide strength and protection. Thanks to CEREC® technology, we can often complete the root canal and crown in a single visit!

A dental infection can manifest with these symptoms:
Contrary to popular belief, root canals are not painful. With proper anesthesia, you should be able to have a root canal in a similar fashion to how you would with a filling or crown.
However, if you’re still feeling hesitant or just don’t like the idea of longer appointments, we can always discuss the possibility of sedation dentistry to help you comfortably get the treatment you need!
If you're experiencing signs of a dental infection or suspect you may need a root canal, don't hesitate to reach out to our team at Revive Implant + Cosmetic Dentistry. Call us today to book a consultation!
