Root Canal Therapy
Gentle, effective treatment to relieve pain and save your natural tooth.
What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a highly successful treatment used to save teeth that have become infected or severely damaged. The procedure involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, then filling and sealing the space.
Contrary to popular belief, modern root canal therapy is typically no more uncomfortable than having a large filling. With proper anesthesia and Dr. Anderson's gentle technique, most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.

- • Crack or chip in the tooth
- • Trauma to the face that damages the nerve
Warning Signs:

High Success Rate
Root canal therapy has a success rate of over 95%. Most teeth that receive root canal treatment can last a lifetime with proper care. This makes it an excellent alternative to tooth extraction.

Root canal therapy is often more cost-effective than tooth extraction followed by replacement with an implant or bridge. We accept most insurance plans and offer financing options.
