Root Canals

in the Beltline.

Not the horror story you’ve heard. It’s actually the thing that ends the pain — not causes it.

Root Canals
Heard root canals are the worst? Yeah… that’s outdated.

Root canals have a bad rap. We blame TV, your uncle's exaggerated story, and dental clinics that forgot anesthesia was a thing.

‍

Here's the truth: a modern root canal is basically like getting a deep filling - and it's the fastest way to save your tooth and stop the pain that's been ruining your week (and your sleep).

benefits

How this will improve your life

Stops the pain (like, right away)

That deep, throbbing, can’t-sleep kind of toothache? Gone. Root canals don’t just help — they relieve.

Keep your real tooth

No extractions, no gaps, no drama — just your natural tooth, saved and sealed like nothing happened.

No more sneaky tooth infection

Left untreated, that bacteria keeps doing damage. A root canal clears it out for good.
what's going on

Still sounds scary? Cool. Let’s talk about it.

Deep breath. You're not being dramatic. But you also don't need to panic. We've done literally thousands of these, and they're way less intense than you think.

It’s how we clean out the infected, inflamed, or dying nerve inside your tooth — so the pain stops, the infection clears, and you get to keep the tooth in your mouth, where it belongs.

It’s not surgery. It’s not medieval. It’s just really effective and conservative dentistry.

why it matters

Signs you might need one (aka, stop ignoring these)

  • Throbbing or sharp tooth pain, especially when biting
  • Sensitivity that lingers long after hot/cold drinks
  • Swelling in your gums or jaw
  • A pimple-like bump near the tooth
  • A tooth that’s darkened, dull, or just feels “off”

If any of these sound familiar, don't wait. The longer you ignore it, the bigger (and more expensive) the problem gets.

FAQs

Root Canal FAQs

Does a root canal hurt?

The pain comes from the infection — the root canal fixes that. We freeze you up properly and make sure you’re comfortable the whole time. If a tooth can’t be properly frozen, we’ll chat about different options to keep everyone comfortable.

Will I need a crown afterward?

Probably, yes. A root canal-treated tooth is more brittle, so we usually place a crown to protect it. We can often do that here, same-day.

How long does it take?

Usually, we do root canals in two visits. The first is usually about an hour long and we clean the inside of the tooth and assess whether we can find everything we need to to finish everything. The second is usually about 90 mins long and usually we finish the root canal in this visit. As with everything in life, it does depend though.

What if I’m too anxious?

You’re not alone. We offer sedation options and a team that actually understands dental fear. You’ll never be rushed or pushed.
