Schaumburg Root Canal Dentist

Stop infections and fix tooth pain!

Root canals are probably the most notorious procedure in dentistry, but also the most misunderstood. While many people view them as “scary,” the truth is that a root canal is an effective treatment to stop pain and save your tooth.

So what is a root canal? When a tooth becomes infected, it’s usually related to the nerves in the root of your tooth. These infected nerves need to be removed. Left untreated, an infection can turn into an abscess, which is a much more serious problem that leads to missing teeth and bone loss in your jaw.

How we make your root canal experience unique

Our compassionate team takes the time to understand your dental health history and comfort preferences. Our Schaumburg root canal dentists prioritize open communication, ensuring that you are fully informed about the root canal process and addressing any questions or anxieties you may have.

Our root canal process

• We’ll perform a thorough examination and x-rays to assess the extent of damage or infection within the tooth.
• Before the procedure begins, the area around the affected tooth will be numbed using local anesthesia, ensuring a painless experience.
• An access point is created in the tooth, and the infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed to clean and disinfect the root canals.
• The cleaned canals are then filled with a biocompatible material known as gutta-percha, sealing them to prevent further infection.
• In most cases, a dental crown is placed on the treated tooth to provide strength and protection, restoring its appearance and functionality.
