Relieve Your Pain & Enjoy Good Oral Health Again

A toothache is often a sign of an underlying dental issue. When you visit us for help, Dr. Mafla and our team will find the right solution to restore your oral health. A root canal is typically recommended if an infection has reached the inside portion of your tooth. There’s no need to worry. This procedure stops pain; it doesn’t cause it. It also helps you avoid an extraction.

Knowing what to expect can minimize any anxiety. Here is what happens during root canal treatment:

  • Removing the Infected Pulp – Your dentist will gently access the inside of your tooth to remove the infected pulp. It’s done carefully to avoid damaging the surrounding tooth structure.
  • Cleaning and Disinfecting the Area – Dr. Mafla thoroughly cleans the empty space inside your tooth. This process removes lingering bacteria and prevents reinfection.
  • Filling the Tooth –  A rubber-like material is used to fill the space where the pulp was removed. This maintains your tooth’s structure and stability.
  • Adding a Dental Crown – Finally, your dentist will place a custom crown over your tooth. You avoid further damage and gain natural function and appearance.

Most root canal therapy is completed in-house. If a specialist is needed for more complex cases, we’ll guide you through the process. Our priority is to save your natural tooth and protect your smile.
