Feel at Ease During Treatment With Soothing Sedation

During your root canal procedure, your dentist will remove infected tissue from the inside of your tooth, then clean and sanitize the innermost part of the tooth. The final step is to cap your tooth with a dental crown to prevent further problems.

In spite of what you might have heard, modern root canal procedures are not painful, especially when performed at Aberdeen Smiles. We numb the tissue surrounding your tooth to ensure your total comfort. Our patients don’t feel any more discomfort than if they were getting a tooth filled.

You can take also advantage of one of our two forms of dental sedation to stay relaxed during your procedure:

Inhaled Sedation – Laughing gas takes effect quickly and wears off quickly too.
IV Sedation – This type of sedation keeps you in a dreamlike state. You may not remember much afterward.

Save Your Smile With Dental Restorations

Infections can come from severe tooth decay, cracked teeth, or broken teeth. We want to help if you have any of these problems. If you address those problems quickly with restorative dentistry, you may not need a root canal procedure at all.

To keep a damaged tooth from worsening to the point you need a root canal, we may suggest:

Tooth Fillings – Fillings stop decay from causing an infection.
Dental Crowns – A durable crown repairs breaks, cracks, and decay that is too widespread for a filling.
Inlays or Onlays – These restorations are often the best choice for cavities that are too large for a filling but not big enough for a crown.

Common Questions About Root Canals

Will a root canal hurt?

This is a common concern, but we can provide this procedure with little if any pain at all. The reality is that root canal treatments are meant to stop the pain of an infected tooth. To keep you as comfortable as you can be, we offer a number of amenities like blankets and massaging chairs to help you relax. We also offer anesthetic and multiple sedation options to block pain during your procedure.

Why root canal treatment instead of a tooth extraction?

In most cases, we want to preserve a tooth instead of removing it. A root canal can save a tooth that has become infected. During this procedure, we remove the infected tissue inside the tooth. Then we fill your tooth with a special rubbery material and cap it with a dental crown. This restores the appearance and function of your tooth.

How much does a root canal cost?

The cost varies by patient. Some insurance plans will assist with the cost of a root canal treatment, and our team will work to get you the maximum benefit from your policy and provider. We also offer flexible payment options and can help you find one that works for you. It’s worth noting that a root canal today could save you from the expense of treating a more serious oral health problem down the road.

Can root canals be avoided?

Yes, the good news is it’s unlikely you’ll ever need a root canal if you take good care of your teeth. Infection usually gets inside a tooth through severe decay or damage like a crack or break, necessitating a root canal. Repairing a cavity or other damage as soon as possible should prevent the need for root canal treatment.
