Non-Surgical “Root Canal” Treatment

Root Canal Therapy is one of the most common dental procedures. Well over 14 million are performed every year in the United States. This simple yet effective treatment can save your natural tooth. This in turn can prevent the need for expensive replacements: fixed bridges, dental implants, or removable partial dentures.

Inflammation and subsequent infection of the pulp can be caused by tooth trauma, deep decay, cracks in the tooth or fillings, leaky crowns, advanced periodontal disease, or repeated dental procedures.
