Relieve pain and save your natural teeth with our precision root canal treatment. Our dentists and team offer endodontic therapy, which is designed to treat infections at the core of a tooth, preserving its integrity and function.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, or endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infection in the center of a tooth (the root canal system). The treatment involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inner chambers of the tooth and then filling and sealing them to prevent further infection. Root canal therapy is often necessary when the tooth has become infected due to decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth or a crack or chip in the tooth.
Your Root Canal Experience
When you come to Modern Smiles Nampa for a root canal, our dentists will start with a thorough examination, including digital X-rays to determine the extent of the infection. The area around the tooth will be numbed with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Using specialized tools, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the canals are sterilized and the tooth is sealed with a biocompatible material. The procedure typically concludes with the placement of a crown or filling to restore the tooth’s shape and functionality.
