Root Canal Therapy
Save Your Tooth. Relieve the Pain.
Modern root canal treatment is comfortable, fast, and the most effective way to save a tooth that would otherwise need extraction. Our gentle approach means most patients feel little to no discomfort.
Root Canals Are Nothing to Fear
Thanks to advances in anaesthesia and technique, root canal therapy today is no more uncomfortable than getting a routine filling. The procedure relieves the severe pain caused by an infected or inflamed tooth pulp — and saves your natural tooth in the process.
At Canoga Park Family Dentistry, we use precision rotary instruments and digital imaging to complete most root canals in a single visit. Our priority is your comfort every step of the way.
Diagnosis & X-Rays
Digital X-rays and a thorough clinical exam pinpoint the source of infection or inflammation so we can plan the most effective treatment.
Pulp Removal
Under comfortable local anaesthesia, we gently remove the infected pulp tissue from inside the tooth's canals, eliminating the source of pain.
Canal Cleaning & Shaping
Precision rotary instruments clean, shape, and disinfect each canal to remove all bacteria and debris, preparing the tooth for sealing.
Filling & Sealing
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and sealed to prevent future reinfection.
Crown Restoration
Most root-canal-treated teeth are protected with a custom porcelain crown, restoring full strength, function, and a natural appearance.
