Save Your Smile With Root Canal Treatment
Root canal procedures have a terrible reputation as a painful, complicated process. Maybe that reputation was deserved years ago. But with advances in modern dentistry, this restorative treatment is simpler, more efficient, and more comfortable than ever before. With modern techniques and Dr. Doering's decades of experience, our root canals in Tampa is a straightforward process. You can expect:
Sedation Options
We always go out of our way to ensure your comfort. Along with our patient-focused care, we offer sedation to calm your nerves for a more relaxing experience. You won't feel anxious at all.
Thorough Disinfecting
Your dentist uses special instruments to gently but thoroughly clean the inner chamber of your tooth. To prevent the infection from returning, they carefully sanitize the tooth.
Quality Restoration
Using a rubber-like material, your dentist will fill the area and cap your tooth with a lifelike dental crown. This restores your oral function, keeps your mouth healthy, and your smile intact.
Ease Your Discomfort
Our procedure will relieve the pain of an intense, throbbing toothache. We'll ensure the full, comfortable function of your mouth, and keep your smile bright and healthy.
Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canals
Why is a root canal needed?
If you don't treat a cavity right away, the decay can spread and eventually reach the pulp, the soft inner portion of the tooth. When that is infected, a root canal is needed to clean out the pulp, sanitize the tooth, and seal it with a restoration to prevent further problems. A root canal will end your toothache and save your tooth from extraction.
How much does a root canal cost?
Your individual situation, the location of the infected tooth, and other factors will ultimately determine the cost of your root canal treatment. We recommend you come in for an initial exam so we can assess your situation. Then we can give you an accurate estimate of your treatment cost so you know what to expect.
Are root canals painful?
Although root canals have been made out to be the bad guy of dentistry, they are actually very beneficial. In the right hands, a root canal treatment doesn't produce any more discomfort than you would experience from getting a tooth filling. Even so, we'll use local anesthetic to ensure a comfortable procedure. Sedation is always available as well.
