Why Choose Espire Dental Colorado Springs for Your Root Canal Care?

At Espire Dental, we make root canals as painless as possible. Our combination of advanced technology and compassionate care ensures a comfortable experience from start to finish. Here’s why patients trust us with their root canal therapy:

  • Immediate Pain Relief: A root canal treatment is designed to relieve the discomfort caused by infection. Our gentle approach will quickly relieve your pain so you can get back to living your life.
  • Save Your Natural Tooth: We can save your tooth and prevent the need for extraction by performing a root canal. Preserving your natural tooth helps maintain your smile’s structure and avoids further dental work down the road.
  • Stop the Spread of Infection: Root canals not only remove the source of infection but also prevent it from spreading to surrounding teeth, gums, and bone, protecting overall oral health.
  • Restore Full Functionality: After your root canal, we’ll restore your tooth with a dental crown or filling, ensuring that it’s as strong and functional as before. You’ll be able to eat and speak normally without any sensitivity or discomfort.

What Happens During a Root Canal?

We understand that the idea of a root canal can make some patients nervous, but our process is designed for maximum comfort and efficiency. Our combination of advanced technology and compassionate care ensures a comfortable experience from start to finish. Here’s what to expect during your appointment:

  • Comprehensive Diagnosis: We start by thoroughly examining your tooth using digital X-rays to assess the extent of the infection. Once we confirm that a root canal is necessary, we’ll carefully explain the procedure and answer any questions you have.
  • Pain-Free Procedure: Once the area is numbed with local anesthesia, we’ll gently access the inside of the tooth to remove the infected tissue. Sedation options are available for patients who need extra comfort during the procedure.
  • Cleaning and Sealing the Tooth: After removing the infected tissue, we clean and disinfect the root canals. The tooth is then sealed to protect it from future infection.
  • Final Restoration: Once your root canal is complete, a dental crown or filling is placed to strengthen and restore the tooth. This ensures long-lasting protection and full functionality.

Will a root canal hurt?

No, modern root canals are performed with effective local anesthesia and sedation options, ensuring a comfortable experience. Most patients report that the procedure is no more painful than getting a filling.

How long does a root canal take?

A typical root canal takes about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the tooth and the complexity of the case. If a crown is needed, multiple visits may be required.

Will I need a crown after a root canal?

In most cases, we recommend placing a dental crown over the treated tooth to restore its strength and protect it from further damage. This helps ensure long-term stability.

What are the signs that I need a root canal?

Common signs include tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, gum swelling, and darkening of the tooth. If you experience any of these symptoms, scheduling a dental exam as soon as possible is essential.

How do I care for my tooth after a root canal?

After a root canal, good oral hygiene requires brushing, flossing, and attending regular checkups. Until the tooth is fully restored, avoid biting down on hard foods.

How long will my tooth last after a root canal?

With proper care, a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy can last a lifetime. Regular dental visits are vital in ensuring the long-term health of the treated tooth.
