Save Your Smile with Root Canals in Sugar Land
Have you ever had a toothache so severe that it’s disrupted your day to such an extent that you can’t go about your normal tasks? When toothaches become this severe, it’s likely because they’re an indication of a bigger problem–such as decay and damage deep in the root of your tooth. We always aim to preserve your natural teeth as far as possible, which is why, even if your toothache is severe, we opt for a root canal as your potential first choice.
Root Canals Explained
The term "root canal" may sound intimidating, but the procedure is more common than you may think. Root canals can save your tooth from extraction by removing the infected or damaged pulp from the inside of a tooth (the cause of your pain.)
During a root canal, we make a small opening in your tooth to access and remove the infected or damaged pulp that is causing your pain. We then clean and disinfect the canal before filling it with a special material to seal off your tooth. Once we’ve done this, we’ll also place a crown on top of your tooth to protect it.
We're proud to offer quality root canals in Sugar Land, TX. With years of experience backing our team, we lend our experience and skill to performing these procedures in a way that doesn’t cause you pain or discomfort; after all, if you’re in need of a root canal, you’ve likely had your fair share of discomfort.
The Benefits
- Save your tooth: Rather than extracting your damaged tooth, a root canal lets you completely preserve your natural smile!
- Prevent further problems: If you leave an infected tooth untreated, it can lead to more serious issues; root canals help prevent further complications.
- Enhancing your appearance: Root canals can help you maintain a natural-looking smile rather than one that is missing a tooth entirely.
