Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is an effective and safe way to save your tooth and relieve pain caused by infection or decay.
Root Canals in Colorado Springs, CO
A root canal is a restorative dental procedure that can save a severely decayed or infected tooth. Rather than extracting the tooth, the dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inner canals, and seals the tooth to prevent further damage. Following the procedure, a crown is often added to protect and restore the tooth. This process preserves your natural tooth structure, allowing you to maintain the function and appearance of your smile, and eliminates the pain from the infection. With modern technology, local anesthesia, and optional sedation, root canal treatments are more comfortable than ever.
