Root Canal Therapy | Boerne
Get a Pain-Free Smile
With a root canal at Complete Dental Studio, you can restore your smile and confidence safely and comfortably.
Root Canal: What It Is
During a root canal, Dr. Alghadban will remove the infected pulp tissue from the inside of a tooth that has become severely decayed or infected. The objective of root canal therapy is to save your tooth from further damage.
At our Boerne office, we’ll perform your root canal under local anesthesia and use specialized tools to remove any damaged or infected tissue. Then, we’ll clean out the area and fill it with a sealant.
In most cases, Dr. Alghadban may recommend placing a crown over your affected tooth to provide additional protection. If he determines that the root canal treatment is particularly complex, we may refer you to an endodontist.
A root canal typically requires one visit but can sometimes take two or more visits to complete. In any case, you can expect your procedure to relieve pain and preserve the structure and function of your affected tooth.
How a Root Canal Works
At Complete Dental Studio, we want to reassure you and all our patients that root canals are comfortable and nothing to fear.
During your root canal, Dr. Alghadban will:
- Numb the affected area with local anesthesia
- Clean and seal the affected area with a special material
- Place a permanent, crown-like restoration over the treated tooth to prevent future infections
Do You Need Root Canal Therapy?
The majority of patients don’t realize they need a root canal until an affected tooth has developed an infection and abscessed. To get at the root of the problem before it becomes too painful, you should pay attention to any of the following symptoms:
- A severe toothache that gets worse when you bite down on the tooth
- A tooth that is suddenly sensitive to hot and cold food and drinks
- Gum tissue around a certain tooth that is swollen or tender or has a sore
- A tooth that has turned dark
If you experience one or more of these symptoms, contact our Boerne office as soon as possible to schedule an appointment with Dr. Thompson or Dr. Alghadban.
While uncommon, in some rare cases, you might require root canal therapy without any symptoms presenting — so it’s important to maintain regular cleanings and exams at our Boerne office.
