How Root Canal Surgery Works

Inside every tooth is pulp, which provides nerves and nutrients. When this part is decayed or injured, its tissue dies and needs to be removed to avoid losing a tooth. We remove that tissue and disinfect the inside of the tooth before replacing the hole with filling and sealing it up to prevent further bacteria. After the procedure, we help you to recover as quickly as possible by providing follow-up care and anything else you might need.

Root canal surgery can be one of the costlier treatments, but we take steps to make it more affordable. Our office accepts all insurances and Medicaid to help keep costs down for our patients. We also help prevent the need for the procedure in the first place by acting as a full source for cleanings, exams, X-rays, and everything oral health.
