Root Canal Therapy

Preserve your smile with expert root canal care.

If you’re dealing with tooth pain from a damaged, infected, or deeply decayed tooth, root canal therapy may be the solution. Common signs of infection include sharp pain, lingering sensitivity, or swelling in the nearby gums.

Inside every tooth is soft tissue called the dental pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When decay or injury reaches this layer, the pulp can become infected and put your tooth and surrounding structures at risk. To restore your oral health and prevent the infection from spreading, our team at Lake Hills Family Dentistry may recommend a root canal.

This treatment gently removes the infected pulp and nerve, disinfects the space, and seals the tooth with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection. In most cases, we’ll restore your tooth with a crown or filling to bring back its strength, shape, and appearance. Our compassionate dental team is committed to making your treatment as smooth and stress-free as possible.
