What Is Endodontic Treatment?

Endodontic treatment (also called endodontic therapy or root canal therapy) is done to remove infected pulp from a tooth to prevent further tooth decay. It often means the difference between a patient being able to keep their tooth and needing to have it extracted.

Protecting Your Overall Health

Endodontic treatment focuses on saving your teeth. Our endodontists always recommend that, if possible, we save a patient’s tooth rather than extracting it and replacing it with an implant. Not only are root canals less costly than implants, but root canals do not have the risk of bone loss that can occur with a dental implant.

Our Endodontists Have the Experience to Save Your Tooth

Our endodontists specialize in root canals and all other root canal-related therapies. This allows them to perfect the techniques used in saving your teeth and increases the success rate of such treatments.
