Relieve severe tooth pain, eliminate deep infection, and save your natural tooth from extraction with comfortable endodontic treatment.
Root canal therapy is a highly effective procedure that treats severe tooth decay or internal infection by removing diseased pulp tissue from inside the root canals. Once cleaned and sealed, the tooth is protected to restore its long-term health. We help you address:
Treatment Type | Primary Goal | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|
Root Canal Therapy | Removes infected pulp from the entire root system to save the natural tooth | Deep decay or trauma reaching the nerve and causing internal infection |
Pulpotomy | Removes infected nerve tissue from the crown while preserving root pulp | Emergency pain relief or compromised baby/permanent teeth with healthy roots |
Tooth Extraction | Completely removes a hopelessly compromised tooth from its socket | Fractures extending below the bone or insufficient structure for saving |
We use advanced 3D CBCT scans to examine your root canal anatomy and precisely locate the source of infection.
We apply local anesthesia to completely numb the treatment area so you stay entirely comfortable throughout the procedure.
We gently remove the infected pulp, disinfect the internal canals, and seal the space with biocompatible gutta-percha.
We place a custom dental crown over the treated tooth to restore its strength, appearance, and biting function.
When Dr. Mohammad Hammoud performs root canal therapy, he prioritizes both patient comfort and clinical precision. Using advanced 3D diagnostic imaging, we map out complex root canals before starting, ensuring we remove all infected tissue completely. We do not guess at your dental health, and we provide honest guidance on whether a compromised tooth can be predictably saved.
Modern root canal treatment is very comfortable and typically feels no different than receiving a standard dental filling thanks to local anesthesia.
Because a treated tooth lacks its internal nerve and blood supply, it can become brittle over time; a crown protects it from fracturing under chewing forces.
Most root canal treatments can be completed in a single comfortable appointment lasting between 60 to 90 minutes.
With proper daily hygiene, regular professional checkups, and a protective crown, a root canal-treated tooth can last for decades.
