Root Canal Treatment

Precise and Comfortable Care You Can Rely On

Save your natural tooth with a professional, gentle root canal treatment at the First Cosmetic Dental Center. Root canal therapy is a routine dental procedure designed to address infected or severely damaged teeth without the need for extraction. At our clinic, Dr. Kass and his skilled team complete this virtually painless procedure in just one hour, ensuring a stress-free experience.

Pain Relief & Infection Control

Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure designed to eliminate severe tooth pain caused by deep infections, decay, or abscesses. During the process, the infected or inflamed pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further bacterial infection. This not only relieves pain but also stops the infection from spreading to other teeth or areas of the mouth, ensuring overall oral health.

Tooth Preservation ​

One of the major advantages of a root canal treatment is that it allows you to retain your natural tooth instead of opting for extraction. Losing a tooth can lead to issues such as difficulty chewing, misalignment of surrounding teeth, and even bone loss in the jaw over time. By saving the tooth, a root canal ensures that you maintain proper dental function and a natural-looking smile without the need for prosthetics like dentures or implants.

Long-Lasting Solution

Root canal treatment, when followed by the placement of a dental crown or filling, provides a durable and long-term solution for tooth preservation. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a treated tooth can last a lifetime. This makes it a more cost-effective and less invasive option compared to tooth extraction, which often requires additional procedures such as implants or bridges to restore function and aesthetics. Investing in a root canal not only helps in maintaining your oral health but also prevents the need for more expensive treatments in the future.

Concerned About the Cost of Treatment?

How Much Do Root Canal Treatment Cost?

At First Cosmetic Dental Center, we provide precise and comfortable root canal treatments to preserve your natural teeth and alleviate pain. The cost of a root canal procedure can vary based on several factors, including the tooth's location, the complexity of the case, and whether the treatment is performed by a general dentist or an endodontist. On average, the costs are as follows:

  • Front Tooth (Anterior): Approximately $620 to $1,100.
  • Premolar: Approximately $720 to $1,300.
  • Molar: Approximately $890 to $1,500.
Please note that these estimates do not include the cost of the final restoration, such as a dental crown, which is often necessary after a root canal to protect and strengthen the tooth. The cost of a dental crown can range from $800 to $3,000, depending on the material used and other factors.

Understanding Root Canal Therapy

What is a Root Canal?

The term "root canal" refers to the cleaning of the pulp-filled canals located in a tooth’s root. Root canal treatment is typically needed when the pulp becomes damaged or infected due to issues like deep cavities, cracked teeth, repeated dental work, or trauma.

The Procedure

During the treatment, only the infected pulp is removed from the root, leaving the tooth intact. The inside of the tooth is then carefully cleaned, disinfected, and sealed with a material to protect it. While the tooth’s root is no longer living, it remains functional, supported by surrounding tissues. A dental crown is often placed after the procedure to further protect the tooth and restore full functionality. This process not only saves your tooth but also preserves your natural bite, chewing ability, and the stability of surrounding teeth.

Understanding Root Canal Therapy

Purpose of Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is performed to treat infected or inflamed pulp inside a tooth’s root, which can occur due to deep cavities, cracks, repeated dental procedures, or trauma. When bacteria reach the inner pulp, it can cause severe pain, sensitivity, swelling, and even abscess formation. If left untreated, the infection can spread to surrounding tissues, leading to bone loss, gum infections, and potential tooth loss. A root canal is a preventive and restorative procedure that saves the natural tooth while eliminating pain and preventing the need for extraction.

Treatment Process

The root canal procedure is carefully performed to remove only the infected or damaged pulp while preserving the remaining tooth structure. During the treatment:

  • The dentist numbs the area to ensure a pain-free experience.
  • A small opening is created in the tooth to access the infected pulp.
  • The infected or dead tissue is removed from the root canals, and the area is cleaned and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
  • The cleaned canals are then sealed with a biocompatible filling material to prevent reinfection.
  • In most cases, a temporary filling is placed until a permanent restoration, like a crown, is added.
After the procedure, the tooth is no longer “alive” because the pulp is removed, but it remains functional and stable with support from surrounding tissues.

Post-Treatment Restoration & Benefits

Since the treated tooth may become more fragile over time, a dental crown is often recommended to restore its full strength and function. A custom-fitted crown protects the tooth from fractures, wear, and external forces while allowing normal chewing and speaking abilities. Benefits of root canal therapy include:

  • Preservation of the natural tooth, preventing extraction and maintaining a healthy bite.
  • Pain relief and elimination of infection-related discomfort.
  • Restored functionality, allowing normal eating and speaking.
  • Protection of surrounding teeth by preventing misalignment or shifting.
  • Long-term durability, ensuring the tooth lasts for many years with proper care.
    • Root canal therapy is a safe, effective, and widely performed procedure that helps patients retain their natural smiles while preventing serious oral health issues. With modern techniques and anesthesia, the procedure is virtually painless, making it a comfortable and successful solution for infected teeth.
