Getting a root canal is always the best way to save an infected or damaged tooth and prevent further complications.

First, Dr. Evans will clean the treatment area and numb your mouth to ensure you don’t feel any discomfort during your root canal at Laveen Smiles. We also offer sedation options to further enhance your comfort and ensure you feel calm and safe during your treatment.

Next, Dr. Evans will use a dental drill to clean away damaged tooth material, and to make an opening in the tooth’s surface, providing access to the interior of the tooth. Once this opening has been made, he will use specialized dental tools to remove and clean away decayed pulp. After this, the tooth will be flushed with disinfectant to make sure it’s totally free of infectious bacteria.

Once the tooth has been cleaned and prepared, a rubber-like material called “gutta-percha.” This substance replaces your natural pulp and strengthens the inside of your tooth.

As the final step in the process, you’ll get a filling or a temporary crown to protect your tooth. Typically, you will need to come back to our office to get a permanent crown, as this will ensure that your tooth remains protected for years to come.
