Feel Better Soon With Root Canal Treatment

Contrary to what many people believe, a root canal doesn't cause you pain. It will stop the pain caused by a diseased tooth. A root canal procedure will most likely be recommended if you have an untreated cavity or tooth injury, and infection has reached the soft, inner portion of the tooth. Significant pain often results if this area, called the pulp chamber, becomes infected.

To repair your tooth and save it from extraction, Dr. Despain and our team will:

  • Offer you a choice of sedation options if desired, and numb your mouth with local anesthesia
  • Access the pulp chamber through the top of the tooth
  • Remove the infected tissue
  • Disinfect the tooth to prevent further problems
  • Shape and repair the root canals
  • Fill the tooth with an inert material
  • Cap the repaired tooth with a new crown made right in our office

After your treatment is finished, your tooth will be almost as strong as before. The crown will cover the entire tooth to restore virtually all your biting and chewing capacity. You'll also have a beautiful tooth that you'll feel confident showing off.

Learn the Signs Your Tooth Is Infected

The most well-known symptom of a tooth infection is pain that keeps getting worse. However, you may also notice other symptoms, such as:

  • Jaw pain and swelling
  • Red, puffy, or swollen gums
  • Extreme tooth sensitivity
  • A pimple or bump on your gums
  • A bad taste or odor in your mouth

If you recognize any of these signs, call our dental office ASAP.

The best way you can prevent root canal treatment is with good oral care practices. Brushing and flossing is only the start. You should also visit us every six months for cleanings and exams.

That's not easy to say because I dislike going to the dentist extremely!! That being said my experience has been a 10 the whole time. I went to Mexico to get implants done a full set. It was terrible. The worst decision of my life. Since the process was only half done I came home thinking what now? I had implants in but no teeth and had 4 months of healing to do. I came to Skyview scared to continue but I had to finish the journey if I was to ever smile or eat again. DR Despain was a life saver. The office staff were so warm and kind, the Dr was gentle and understanding. Every time I came, there was nothing but smiles and I was always addressed with my name. I am so happy with my teeth and the kindness that I was shown. I recommend anyone who is scared and hate the dentist go to Skyview they will change your mind!!

Sorry for the long one but This Dental TEAM deserves it. I wasn’t raised with the best dental hygiene, and over the years I’ve had just about every bad dental experience you can imagine.

I wasn’t raised with the best dental hygiene, and over the years I’ve had just about every bad dental experience you can imagine. I’ve always related to the saying, “what can go wrong, will go wrong” when it came to dentist visits. My mouth isn’t in the best shape, and I have extremely high dental anxiety — to the point that I’ve actually passed out many times during procedurs. Because of that, it’s been really hard to keep up with or even try to fix the mess I felt stuck with. Recently, a tooth that was already broken lost another corner, leaving me with basically half a tooth. While waiting for that appointment, a cavity on the other side of my mouth popped out, again what can go wrong will go wrong.I was terrified about the upcoming procedure because putting me under usually costs too much — and that’s the only way I’ve ever been able to get through treatment. But the oral sedation they used was amazing. For the first time ever, I felt like I was actually part of my dental care without being fully aware of every detail. The team was kind, gentle, and patient. I got same-day crowns that look fantastic, and when I see them, I actually want to smile. For someone like me, who’s always dreaded the dentist, this was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had. I finally have hope for my future dental health, and I’m so grateful to this team for giving me that.

Commonly Asked Questions About Root Canals

Why have a root canal?

If the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected, you'll need to have a root canal or remove the tooth. Otherwise, the infection can worsen and spread to your jaw and even elsewhere in your body, causing potentially serious health issues. You'll recover more easily from a root canal than an extraction, and it keeps your tooth structure in place.

Are root canals painful?

While they have that reputation, most patients find a root canal no more uncomfortable than receiving a filling. The procedure eliminates pain; it doesn't cause it! We'll numb your mouth with local anesthesia so you don't feel pain. You may find it easier to relax if you also receive one of our three forms of safe dental sedation.

How much does a root canal cost?

Treatment costs can vary greatly for a root canal, so you will need to come in for an initial exam and imaging before we can give you a cost for your particular procedure. For your convenience, we offer a variety payment options, including payment plans through one of several third-party financing companies.
