At Noblesville Dental Associates, we understand that many of our valued patients feel anxious when they hear they need a root canal treatment. With the advancements in dental technology and techniques, sedation dentistry options, and local anesthetics, today's root canals are nothing like those of the past, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. You can always count on our team for exceptional care with a gentle, compassionate touch.

"Root canal therapy helps relieve pain rather than causing it and saves natural teeth, which is always the best option for your smile."

How the Root Canal Procedure Works

The following is a look at what you can expect:

Step 1

We will conduct a thorough exam and take digital dental X-rays to determine the extent of the damage.

Step 2

We numb the treatment area for your comfort and may administer dental sedation, if needed, to help you feel comfortable and relaxed during treatment. Once you are ready, we will remove any damaged pulp tissue, clean and disinfect your root canals. We usually use a dental laser to decontaminate the area, which helps eliminate bacteria and reduces the risk of complications. Next, we will place a biocompatible material known as gutta-percha, and seal the space with a filling.

Step 3

After root canal therapy, the treated tooth typically becomes brittle and prone to fracture, which is why we usually recommend a restoration, such as a dental crown, for protection. Your treated tooth will look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Inside every tooth is the pulp that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Root canal therapy is designed to treat teeth with inner pulp damage or infection resulting from deep decay, trauma, chips, fractures, or repeated dental procedures. Left untreated, tooth pulp inflammation or infection can lead to complications, including pain, an abscess, tooth loss, and the spread of infection to the surrounding tissues.

The following are some of the benefits of root canal therapy:

  • It can save a natural tooth that may otherwise need to be extracted.

  • It helps keep the infection from spreading to other teeth and surrounding tissues.

  • It helps relieve pain caused by deep decay or injury.

  • It restores normal biting and chewing function.

  • It improves your overall oral health by eliminating sources of infection.

  • The treated tooth can last a lifetime with good oral hygiene habits and regular visits to your Noblesville dentist for dental exams and cleanings.
