For teeth that are badly decayed, cracked, or infected, a root canal can save your natural tooth and restore its function. Rather than removing the tooth, a root canal allows us to clean and treat the inside of the tooth, removing the source of pain and infection while keeping your natural smile intact.

​

Despite its reputation, a root canal is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. With today’s advanced techniques and numbing agents, patients often report little to no pain during the procedure. Dr. Asghar and her team work closely with patients to make sure the process is calm, gentle, and stress-free.

​

Root canals are beneficial because they preserve your natural tooth, preventing shifting, bone loss, or bite changes that can happen after an extraction. Once the infection is cleared, the tooth is sealed and restored with a crown or filling, giving it renewed strength and a natural appearance.

​

With proper care and regular check-ups every six months, most root canal treatments last a lifetime, allowing you to keep your natural tooth healthy and functional for years to come.
