About This Service
Despite their reputation, root canal therapy is a comfortable, effective procedure that saves teeth and relieves pain. When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or damaged, root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, cleans and disinfects the inner chamber, and seals it to prevent further problems. At Drangsholt Dental, Dr. Drangsholt uses advanced techniques and anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the process, allowing you to keep your natural tooth for years to come.
How Treatment Works
01
Anesthesia & Access
The area is numbed, and a small opening is created in the tooth to access the infected pulp chamber.
02
Cleaning & Disinfection
Infected tissue is carefully removed, and the inner chambers are thoroughly cleaned and shaped.
3
Filling & Sealing
The cleaned chambers are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
4
Crown Placement
A crown is typically placed to protect and strengthen the treated tooth for long-term success.
