Root canal treatment is a safe and effective procedure used to save infected or severely damaged teeth. By removing the infected nerve tissue and sealing the tooth, we eliminate pain, stop the spread of infection, and preserve your natural tooth for years to come.
A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth. Instead of extracting the tooth, the inside is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection. Modern techniques make the procedure comfortable, predictable, and highly successful.

Sensitivity to hot or cold

The area is numbed to ensure a comfortable, pain‑free procedure.
The infected pulp is removed, and the canals are cleaned and shaped.
The canals are disinfected and sealed with a biocompatible material.
