Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Once an infection reaches the nerve of a tooth, the pain can become intense. A root canal removes the inflamed or infected tissue, eliminating the source of discomfort. Most patients feel immediate relief after treatment.
Instead of extracting the tooth, root canal therapy preserves it. This keeps your natural smile intact and prevents surrounding teeth from shifting maintaining your bite, alignment, and long-term oral health.
Untreated dental infections can spread to the gums, jaw, or even bloodstream. A root canal cleans and disinfects the inside of your tooth, stopping the infection at its source and protecting your overall health.
Root canal therapy, when combined with good oral care and a proper restoration, can last a lifetime. It’s a durable, predictable treatment much more reliable than extraction and replacement options.
How Root Canal Treatment Works
If infection reaches the inside of your tooth, treatment becomes urgent. Acting early can save your tooth, relieve pain, and prevent serious complications. Here’s what to expect during the process.
-
Step 1
We begin with digital imaging, 3d CBCT scan and a thorough exam to determine the condition of your tooth. We’ll review your symptoms, medical history, and discuss comfort options to ensure a painless experience.
-
Step 2
Utilizing microscope the root canal specialist carefully removes the infected or damaged nerve tissue inside the tooth. The root is cleaned, shaped, and disinfected using advanced instruments to ensure all bacteria are eliminated.
-
Step 3
Once the tooth is infection-free, it’s sealed with a protective material. Most root canal–treated teeth also receive a crown for added strength and long-term durability.
Not treating an infected tooth can lead to severe pain, abscess formation, bone loss, and even tooth loss. Let us help restore your smile with trusted root canal care in Allen, Frisco, Hurst, and ArlingtonThis link leads to Arlington location page, TX.
FAQ About Root Canal Treatment
-
What is a root canal?
A root canal is a procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue inside the tooth. After cleaning and sealing the tooth, the pain disappears, and the natural tooth is preserved.
-
Does a root canal hurt?
Today’s root canals are performed with advanced numbing techniques, making the procedure virtually painless. Most patients say the treatment is no more uncomfortable than a simple filling.
-
How much does a root canal cost?
The cost varies depending on the location of the tooth and the complexity of the infection. Root canals are generally more affordable than tooth extraction followed by a replacement like implants or bridges.

How long does the procedure take?
Most root canals can be completed in one visit lasting 60–90 minutes. Complex cases may require two visits.
