We Do the Impossible…

Modern advancements have revolutionized the root canal experience. Local anesthesia ensures minimal discomfort, and many patients report feeling calm and in control throughout the procedure. Our experienced team is dedicated to clear communication and providing a comfortable environment for your treatment.

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. To address this, dentists often recommend placing 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 time and well-being. We offer dedicated slots in our schedule for same-day root canals, aiming to get you out of discomfort and back to your daily routine as swiftly as possible. In the unlikely event our office is closed, we'll collaborate with our partner clinic to ensure you receive prompt care.

A crucial point to remember is that a root canal might be necessary even when you experience no pain. This often indicates the tooth is already "dead" due to a lack of nerve, explaining the absence of discomfort. However, the underlying infection within the tooth can still spread and lead to serious complications like abscesses if left untreated. Our dentists utilize advanced diagnostic tools, including X-rays, to accurately diagnose your specific needs and recommend the most effective treatment plan.

While extracting a tooth may seem like a simpler solution initially, it can lead to significant 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 bite, preserving your natural teeth for optimal chewing and aesthetics.
