Relief and Restoration

Root canal therapy is a procedure designed to save a severely damaged or infected tooth by removing the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) and sealing it to prevent further infection. At Ascend Dental and Implant Center in Hollywood, FL, our skilled team performs root canals with precision and care, ensuring that your tooth is restored to full function and comfort. With the latest techniques and technology, we make the process as painless as possible, so you can keep your smile healthy and intact.

Who Needs a Root Canal?

Root canal therapy is needed when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or damaged, typically due to severe decay, repeated dental procedures, or a crack in the tooth. Common symptoms include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, and swelling or tenderness in the surrounding gums. If left untreated, an infected tooth can lead to more serious complications, including abscesses or tooth loss. A root canal can save your tooth and restore its natural function, preventing the need for an extraction.

The Benefits of Root Canal Therapy: Save Your Tooth, Relieve Your Pain

Root canal therapy offers several key benefits that make it a crucial treatment for saving damaged teeth:

  • Pain relief: By removing the infected tissue, a root canal eliminates the source of pain and discomfort, allowing you to return to normal activities without distress.
  • Tooth preservation: Rather than extracting the tooth, a root canal helps you keep your natural tooth, preserving your smile and preventing the need for more invasive procedures.
  • Restored function: After a root canal, the treated tooth is sealed and restored with a crown, allowing you to chew, bite, and speak without discomfort or difficulty.
  • Long-term solution: With proper care, a tooth that has undergone a root canal can last for many years, providing a durable and reliable solution to tooth damage.

At Ascend Dental and Implant Center, we’re here to provide you with gentle, effective root canal therapy to relieve your pain and restore your smile to its full potential.
