We Do the Impossible…

Modern dentistry has transformed root canals into comfortable procedures. Local anesthesia minimizes discomfort, and many patients report feeling relaxed and well-informed throughout the process. Our dedicated team is here to answer your questions and guide you through the experience with care.

It's true that larger back teeth, especially molars, can be more susceptible to fractures after a root canal due to losing their blood supply. However, this risk is relatively low, and dentists often recommend a crown on back teeth after the procedure for added protection. Front teeth typically don't require crowns following a root canal.

At Today Dental, we prioritize your well-being and understand the need for prompt care. We offer same-day root canals in dedicated time slots, aiming to get you out of pain and back to your daily activities quickly. In the rare instance our office is closed, we'll work with our partner clinic to ensure you receive timely care.

The absence of pain doesn't always indicate a healthy tooth. A root canal might still be necessary even when you experience no discomfort. This often signifies the tooth is "dead" due to a lack of nerve, which explains the absence of pain. However, the underlying infection can still spread and lead to serious complications like abscesses if left untreated. Our dentists utilize advanced diagnostic tools, including X-rays, to accurately assess your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment option.

While extracting a tooth may seem like a simpler initial solution, it can lead to greater financial burdens down the line. Replacing a missing tooth with implants or dentures can be significantly more expensive than saving the natural tooth with a root canal (and potentially a crown). Additionally, each tooth plays a vital role in maintaining the structure and function of your jaw, preventing surrounding teeth from shifting and causing misalignment. Choosing a root canal can not only save you money but also contribute to a long-term healthy and stable smile, preserving your natural teeth for optimal chewing function and aesthetics.
