Sometimes, a tooth becomes infected on the inside or needs to be rebuilt from the root up. The solution is a root canal.

We understand that old jokes and anecdotes about root canals have made many people fearful of the procedure, but we can assure you that we’ll use state-of-the-art technology and modern methods of treatment to provide excellent care while also putting you at ease.

Our approach is not to remove the root, but rather to clean and seal the tiny tube inside a tooth where the nerve was. Modern techniques make this a simple procedure that often takes one visit. With our focus on good communication and newer, stronger versions of Novocaine, our patients leave saying, “Is that all there was to it?”
