If you've been experiencing persistent tooth pain or sensitivity, you may need root canal services. While this may sound intimidating, at Espire Dental Greeley, we make root canals as stress-free as possible. Our compassionate team uses advanced techniques to provide relief from pain and preserve your natural tooth—all while ensuring you’re comfortable throughout the process. We understand that dental procedures can cause anxiety, which is why our friendly staff focuses on creating a calm, supportive environment.
A root canal is a procedure designed to save a tooth that’s been damaged or infected deep inside. The pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels, can become inflamed or infected due to untreated cavities, cracks, or trauma. If not treated, this can cause significant pain and even lead to tooth loss.
Root canal therapy removes the infected pulp, cleans the inner part of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further infection. This allows you to keep your natural tooth, avoid the need for extraction, and help you maintain your natural bite and smile.
It’s important to identify when a root canal may be necessary. Some common symptoms that could indicate you need root canal therapy include:
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, scheduling an appointment is crucial. Our experienced team will assess the situation and determine the best course of action to relieve your pain and save your teeth.
Contrary to popular belief, root canals are not painful. With modern techniques and local anesthesia, the procedure is similar to getting a filling. You’ll feel much less pain after the root canal than you did before the treatment!
Most root canal treatments can be completed in a visit, typically lasting about 90 minutes. More complex cases may require additional visits, but we strive to make the process as efficient and comfortable as possible.
Signs you may need a root canal include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to temperature, discoloration of the tooth, or swelling of the gums near the tooth. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule a consultation with us right away.
If left untreated, an infected tooth can lead to severe pain, abscesses, and even tooth loss. Additionally, the infection can spread to other parts of your mouth or even your bloodstream, leading to more serious health problems.
Once the root canal is complete, the treated tooth may need a crown to restore its strength and appearance. The crown will look just like your natural tooth, so no one will be able to tell the difference.
Maintaining good oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups, is the best way to avoid needing a root canal. However, if a tooth is already infected or decayed, root canal therapy is the best option to save it.
Don’t let tooth pain disrupt your life — at Espire Dental Greeley, we’re here to provide fast, effective relief with root canal therapy. Conveniently located near Bittersweet Park and Greeley Mall, our team is ready to restore your oral health in a comfortable and caring environment.
Please schedule your appointment today and let us help you get back to a healthy, pain-free smile!
