Need a root canal? iSmile Dental can restore your oral health and relieve pain with gentle, expert care in a comfortable and caring environment.
Do you feel sharp pain when biting into food or lingering sensitivity with hot or cold drinks? These are warning signs that shouldn’t be ignored. Pain while eating or drinking often is a sign that infection has reached the pulp inside your tooth, and this can happen from a crack, injury, or deep decay.
Without treatment from a Texas root canal specialist, the infection will worsen, causing more pain and possibly requiring extraction. If you’re experiencing tooth pain in Fort Worth or Arlington, our root canal treatments can save your tooth and eliminate discomfort.
At iSmile Dental, we specialize in gentle, effective procedures that relieve pain, not cause it.
Don’t let tooth pain disrupt your life — a root canal in Fort Worth or Arlington can restore your smile and comfort.
Our dentist at iSmile Dental is trained and experienced in providing endodontic treatment including root canals. Root canals treat and remove the dangerous infection and inflammation inside your tooth before it can spread. Don’t let the stigma surrounding this procedure cause you apprehension or lead you to put off your treatment. When we offer root canals, they’re designed to comfortably eliminate your tooth pain (not cause more) and ultimately save your natural tooth! We partner with leading insurance companies to ensure your entire treatment process is painless and easy.
Root canal therapy involves removing a portion of the tooth crown to gain access to the pulp chamber and clear out all the infection, bacteria, and damaged pulp and tissues. Disinfecting and cleaning the canals is the next step before filling them with a hardening material call gutta-percha. The tooth will then be sealed to keep bacteria from entering the chamber and root canal and covered with a dental crown to ensure it remains strong and functional after treatment.
Apicoectomy surgery is recommended when a tooth with a previous root canal still has a residual infection at the tooth root. A minor procedure, root end surgery involves removing the tip of a tooth’s root to prevent further damage or extraction. During treatment, the dentist gains access to the tooth root, then the root tip is removed, and the root canal is cleaned and sealed to block further infection.
When a root canal is not successful or other complications arise, endodontic retreatment provides a second chance at saving a natural tooth. During the procedure, the dental crown and filling material are removed, and the inside of the tooth is evaluated and cleaned. The new filling is added to seal the tooth, then the new or existing dental crown will be re-attached.
Once your endodontic procedure at iSmile Dental is complete, you’ll be able to live a comfortable and functional life again without any tooth pain. We’ll provide the necessary instructions to ensure your recovery is fast and healthy. In general, you can expect the following benefits from treatment:
