What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth. This treatment not only stops pain but also prevents the spread of infection and avoids the need for a tooth extraction.
If the damage is too great and a root canal cannot save the tooth, we may discuss alternatives such as tooth extractions or dental implants. However, saving the natural tooth is always the preferred option.
Why Patients Choose Noble Dentistry for Root Canal Therapy
In-House Endodontist
Unlike many general dental practices, Noble Dentistry has a dedicated endodontist in house, meaning more complex root canal cases are handled with added expertise.
Modern Technology for Comfortable Treatment
Our practice uses advanced imaging and modern equipment to make procedures faster and more precise. This technology also supports comprehensive treatment options such as dental bridges and inlays and onlays when needed.
A Gentle, Patient-Centered Approach
Noble Dentistry is known for its welcoming, family-oriented environment. If you experience dental anxiety, we also offer sedation dentistry to help you stay calm and comfortable.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
You may require endodontic treatment if you experience:
- Persistent toothache or throbbing discomfort
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Pain when chewing
- Swelling or tenderness around the gums
- Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
- A pimple-like bump near the affected tooth
If you are in severe pain or suspect an infection, our team also provides fast support through emergency dentistry.
What to Expect During a Root Canal
- Examination and digital imaging to determine the extent of infection.
- Local anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
- Removal of infected pulp and cleaning of the inner chamber.
- Shaping and sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection.
- Placement of a dental crown or permanent restoration for added strength.
Following treatment, many patients choose restorative options through our restorative dentistry services to enhance durability and function.
Frequently Asked Questions
How painful is a root canal?
Modern root canal treatment is generally no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. With local anesthesia and the option for sedation dentistry, most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canal treatments are completed in one visit lasting 60 to 90 minutes. Complex cases may require additional appointments with our in-house endodontist.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
In many cases, yes. A dental crown helps strengthen and protect the treated tooth. We will evaluate your specific needs during your appointment.
What happens if I avoid treatment?
Delaying treatment can allow infection to spread, potentially leading to more serious oral health problems or the need for a tooth extraction.
Is a root canal better than removing the tooth?
Yes. Saving your natural tooth is almost always the best option for long-term function, comfort, and oral health. Extractions often require additional restorations such as dental implants or bridges.
