What it is
Saving the tooth, with magnified precision
Root canal therapy removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, relieving pain and saving the tooth from extraction. Our clinic uses a high-magnification dental operating microscope, which gives the dentist a brightly lit, magnified view of the tiny, complex canals inside your tooth. This added precision helps locate canals that can be missed by the naked eye and supports careful, thorough treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Does a root canal hurt?
Modern root canal treatment is done under local anesthesia and is generally comparable to having a filling. Many patients feel relief because the source of their pain is being treated.
Why use a microscope?
High magnification and bright lighting help the dentist see the tooth's tiny, complex canals clearly, supporting precise and thorough treatment.
Will I need a crown afterward?
A treated tooth is often restored with a crown for long-term protection. Your dentist will advise what is best for your tooth.
