What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has been damaged by infection or decay. When the soft tissue inside your tooth, known as the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected, it can lead to intense pain and sensitivity. A root canal removes this damaged tissue and cleans and seals the tooth, allowing you to avoid tooth extraction and maintain your natural smile.

At Espire Dental Highlands Ranch, we use advanced techniques and modern tools to ensure that your root canal procedure is as painless and efficient as possible. Many patients feel immediate relief from pain once the procedure is completed.

The Root Canal Procedure: What to Expect at Espire Dental Highlands Ranch

At Espire Dental Highlands Ranch, we make sure your root canal experience is comfortable and straightforward:‍

Consultation and Examination: We start with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the infection and determine if a root canal is necessary. Our office, conveniently located near South Suburban Golf Course, ensures easy access for patients in the Highlands Ranch area.
Local Anesthesia: We use local anesthesia to numb the affected area to ensure your comfort. You can rest assured that you’ll feel minimal discomfort during the procedure.
Removing the Infected Pulp: Next, we carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth. This stops the pain and prevents the infection from spreading.
Cleaning and Sealing: After the pulp is removed, we thoroughly clean the inside of the tooth and seal it to prevent future infection. A crown may then be placed over the tooth to restore its strength and function.
Healing and Recovery: After your root canal, we’ll provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. You’ll soon be able to enjoy your favorite activities around Highlands Ranch, whether it’s a walk through Dad Clark Park or a movie at AMC Highlands Ranch 24!
