Root Canal Treatment

Modern root canal treatment is designed to be comfortable and effective. In fact, many patients experience relief after treatment because a root canal addresses the source of tooth pain and infection.

We may recommend a root canal when the inside of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or other damage. During the treatment, Dr. Robinson removes the affected tissue, carefully cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to protect it from future problems.

Before treatment begins, we make sure you are fully comfortable and explain each step of the process. We use techniques designed to make your visit as smooth as possible and offer comfort amenities like pillows and blankets, along with sedation options for qualifying patients.

After a root canal, the tooth is usually restored with a custom crown to provide strength and protection. At Robinson Family Dental, we create restorations that are designed to look natural and complement your smile.
