What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is an endodontic treatment that treats the inside of a tooth — removing infected or damaged pulp and nerve tissue to relieve pain and stop infection from spreading, while saving your natural tooth. It’s typically needed when a tooth becomes severely injured, cracked, or decayed. Performed by our endodontic specialists, it’s one of the most effective ways to avoid an extraction.
How It Works
How the Root Canal Procedure Works
A careful, step-by-step process designed to relieve pain and save your natural tooth.
01
Consultation & Diagnosis
We assess the tooth’s condition with an exam and X-rays — if infection is present, antibiotics may be prescribed first.
02
Numbing & Access
Your tooth is fully numbed, then a small opening is made to access the infected pulp and nerve.
03
Cleaning & Sealing
The infected tissue is removed, and the interior canal is cleaned, shaped, filled, and sealed.
04
Protective Crown
A crown is placed to protect and restore the treated tooth to full strength and function.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation with Dental Implants & Crowns.
When multiple teeth are missing, damaged, or severely worn, combining dental implants with custom crowns can help rebuild both function and appearance.
Dental implants replace missing teeth with a stable foundation, while crowns restore the shape, strength, and natural look of compromised teeth. Together, they can improve the bite, chewing ability, smile balance, and overall confidence.
Every case is individually planned to create a result that looks natural and functions properly.
Contact Smile Builders to schedule your evaluation.

Does getting a crown mean grinding down your entire tooth? Not necessarily.
The amount of tooth preparation needed depends on several factors, including the type of tooth, the crown material being used, and your bite. Each case is different, which is why proper planning is essential to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while creating a strong, natural-looking restoration.
At Smile Builders, every crown is carefully planned around your individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Root Canal — What Patients Ask
Signs include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a cracked or severely decayed tooth. We’ll confirm with an exam and X-rays at your consultation.
Your tooth is fully numbed before treatment, and most patients feel far less discomfort than they expect — often comparable to getting a filling.
Most cases are completed in 1–2 visits, though cases with active infection may need antibiotics first before the procedure.
Yes, in most cases — a crown protects the treated tooth and restores its full strength, especially for molars and premolars.
Untreated infection can spread, cause an abscess, and eventually lead to losing the tooth. A root canal is usually the best way to save it.
We accept most PPO insurance plans. Bring your insurance details to your consultation and we’ll help you understand your coverage.
