Root canal therapy allows us to save your natural tooth while eliminating infection, discomfort, and long – term complications.

Know the signs before it becomes urgentHow do I know if I need a root canal?

Root canal therapy is often recommended when the soft tissue inside your tooth (the pulp) becomes inflamed or infected. This can happen due to decay, trauma, or untreated cavities.

Common symptoms include:

Persistent or throbbing tooth pain
Sensitivity to hot or cold
Swelling in the gums or face
Discoloration of the tooth
A small pimple-like bump near the gum line

Early diagnosis is key. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our team will provide a thorough exam and determine if a root canal is the right next step.

Saving your tooth with precision and careWhat happens during a root canal?

A root canal is a straightforward and highly effective procedure. First, your specialist will gently remove the damaged or infected pulp from inside the tooth. Then the area is cleaned, disinfected, and filled with a durable, biocompatible material. Finally, the tooth is sealed and typically restored with a crown.

At Costa + Williams, we partner with a trusted endodontic specialist, someone we’ve worked with for years, to ensure excellent results and a seamless experience. From start to finish, we coordinate your care and keep you informed every step of the way.
