Repair Damaged Teeth With Root Canal Treatment

In contrast to popular opinion, a root canal procedure is not painful, especially when performed at Aberdeen Smiles. To ensure your total comfort, we will always numb the tissue surrounding your tooth. We also offer dental sedation to make sure you are comfortable and relaxed during your procedure. Our patients don’t feel any more discomfort than if they were getting a tooth filled.

During a root canal procedure, your dentist will:

Remove infected tissue from your tooth
Clean and sanitize the interior of your tooth
Seal your tooth with a dental crown to prevent further problems

Protect Your Smile With Proactive Care

Severe tooth decay and cracked or broken teeth can lead to infections. If you’re hurting due to any of these problems, we want to help. 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 – A filling stops dental decay from causing an infection.
Dental Crowns – A durable crown repairs many kinds of damage, including breaks, cracks, and decay that is too widespread for a filling.
Inlays or Onlays – One of these restorations is often the right choice for cavities that are too large for a filling but not big enough for a crown.

Root canals in Aberdeen, SD can help you smile again. Call Aberdeen Smiles today at 605-277-9049 to make your appointment soon, or schedule online.

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.
