What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy (endodontic treatment) addresses infection or inflammation deep inside a tooth. When the pulp is damaged by decay, injury, or repeated procedures, bacteria can spread, causing pain and risking tooth loss. A root canal removes infection, relieves discomfort, and preserves your natural tooth.
Our goal is to preserve your natural tooth whenever possible—restoring comfort, strength, and confidence while protecting overall oral health.
Remove the infection
The inflamed or infected pulp is carefully removed to halt bacterial spread.
Thorough cleaning
The canal system is disinfected to eliminate harmful bacteria.
Seal the canal
The cleaned space is filled and sealed with a biocompatible material to protect the tooth.
Restore function
Many teeth are strengthened with a custom crown to restore natural form and bite.
What Is the Cost of Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is an investment in saving your natural teeth and protecting overall oral health. Typical fees range from $650–$1,250 depending on the tooth (incisor, premolar, molar) and case complexity. If a previously treated tooth fails to heal or becomes reinfected, retreatment options are available to help preserve your smile.

What to Expect During Treatment
Most patients return to normal activities quickly; minor tenderness typically improves within a day or two.
Comfort-first anesthesia
Gentle numbing helps keep you relaxed throughout the visit.
Precise cleaning & shaping
Instruments clean and shape the canals so they can be disinfected and sealed.
Protective sealing
Biocompatible material seals the canals to prevent reinfection.
Final restoration
A filling or crown restores strength and appearance so you can chew comfortably.
Do You Need Root Canal Therapy?
Because symptoms can progress gradually, advanced diagnostics help confirm when a root canal is the right solution. Common signs include:
- Ongoing tooth pain or lingering sensitivity
- Discomfort when chewing or biting
- Swelling, tenderness, or drainage near a tooth
- Noticeable darkening or discoloration of a tooth
- Cracks, chips, or extensive decay exposing the pulp
If you’re experiencing any of these, timely treatment can relieve pain, save the tooth, and prevent complications.
