Root canal therapy is a common and highly effective procedure designed to save teeth that have been damaged by deep decay, infection or trauma. Dr. Edgar Luna provides gentle, precise care to relieve discomfort, restore function and help patients preserve their natural smiles. With modern techniques and advanced tools, root canal treatment today is more comfortable and efficient than ever before.
What Root Canal Therapy Does
Inside each tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed, it can lead to significant pain, swelling and potential tooth loss. Root canal therapy removes the damaged pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth and seals it to prevent further infection.
Signs that you may need a root canal include:
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- Pain when chewing or biting
Our dentist and team use root canal therapy to help eliminate these symptoms while preserving your natural tooth structure whenever possible.
Comfortable Care
At Divine Smiles Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, we understand that the idea of a root canal may cause concern for some patients. However, advances in dental technology and anesthesia have made the procedure similar in comfort to getting a routine filling. We take a gentle approach and ensures every step of treatment is explained clearly, so you know what to expect.
Most patients find relief almost immediately after the procedure, and recovery time is typically short. Preserving your natural tooth not only maintains your smile but also helps protect your oral health and bite alignment over time.
We are here to answer your questions, ease your concerns and guide you through the process with compassion and professionalism.
