Root Canal Therapy

While many associate the procedure with causing pain, it actually relieves it. 

We understand that the idea of a root canal can feel daunting, and many patients share that anxiety. At Flagship Dental, a root canal is approached with care and precision—it’s a step toward relief, designed to ease discomfort and restore comfort to your smile.

ROOT CANAL THERAPY

A root canal recommendation means we’re helping you preserve your natural tooth and relieve discomfort. At Flagship Dental, we guide you every step of the way, ensuring you feel informed, comfortable, and cared for. Here’s what to expect so your visit is calm, confident, and seamless.

01

Get Access

To begin the procedure, your dentist will gently create a small opening at the top of your tooth. This allows them to reach the root area that needs care, helping to relieve your pain and start the healing process.

02

Get Rid of the Infection

Next, your dentist will carefully remove any infected tissue from inside the tooth. They’ll then gently clean and disinfect the area to ensure any harmful bacteria are fully cleared away—helping your mouth heal and protecting your overall health.

03

Seal it Up!

Once the inside of your tooth is clean and healthy, your dentist will seal the opening with a temporary filling to protect it. To help keep your tooth strong over time, we may recommend placing a crown in the future. This added support helps restore both the function and appearance of your tooth, ensuring it stays healthy for years to come.
