Most people are terrified at the thought of a root canal. They have a bad reputation. However, our experienced dentists will make your root canal procedure as painless as possible so you have nothing to be afraid of, explaining each step along the way.

When teeth become damaged due to deep decay, fractures or trauma; the tooth may be in jeopardy. When these things happen to your tooth, harmful bacteria may be able to enter the root and cause an abscess or infection of the bone and/or tooth nerve. An infection due to this kind of damage can greatly threaten your health.

But what is it?
A root canal is a reparative procedure that treats the pulp and nerves at the center of the tooth.

The key to an easy root canal is speed, precision and efficiency. Our experienced dentists often use 3D Cone-Beam CBCT Imaging to diagnose your need for a root canal. Rotary endodontics is exclusively used at Pleasant Valley Smile Studio, meaning that an electrically-powered instrument is used to perform the root canal treatment which replaces the old-school/traditional stainless-steel manual files. Rotary root canal instruments can be inserted deeply into a curved root canal without stretching or damaging the passageway.
