Professional Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Therapy at The Bellport Village Dentist

The dreaded root canal therapy. Most people dread hearing the news that they need a root canal. While root canal therapy is a common dental procedure to eliminate infections in the teeth, it continues to place a negative image in patients’ minds. However, patients can rest easy knowing our dentist offers the most comfortable, efficient experience possible when root canal therapy is needed.

What is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a procedure where a dentist removes bacteria from the pulp of a tooth. That bacteria forms inside of the tooth for many reasons. Poor dental health is one of the most common causes. Also, when someone does not fix a cracked tooth, it is easier for bacteria to enter and attack the tooth from the inside out. An untreated infection inside of a tooth makes it painful, discolored and could eventually lead to the loss of that tooth. It is merely removing the inside of the tooth like a wick out of a candle, cleaning the area and then filling the area where the wick was to seal off the area and make it ready for a final restoration. After root canal therapy is completed, you will have a better chance of preserving the original tooth. In most cases, you may need to have a crown placed on top of the affected tooth to help rebuild the tooth to prevent fracturing of the tooth and restore the tooth to full function. Contact our office about root canal therapy to learn if you might require this procedure. The sooner you complete your root canal therapy, the faster you can be on the road to a healthy, beautiful smile.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

Relieves Tooth Pain

Say goodbye to constant discomfort caused by infection or inflammation.

Preserves Your Natural Tooth

Avoid extraction and maintain your natural bite and appearance.

Supports Overall Health

Oral health is closely linked to your heart, lungs, and immune system. Keeping your mouth clean reduces inflammation and lowers the risk of systemic diseases.

Detects Problems Early

Your hygienist and dentist can spot early signs of cavities, gum issues, or oral cancer—before symptoms appear—saving you time, pain, and money in the long run.

Prevents Infection from Spreading

Removes harmful bacteria and protects surrounding teeth and tissues.

Restores Function and Strength

After treatment, the tooth functions like any other—especially when restored with a dental crown.

Our Root Canal Process

Our dental cleanings are comfortable, comprehensive, and tailored to your needs. Here’s a step-by-step look at what happens during your visit:

We start with a thorough exam and X-rays to assess the condition of the tooth and surrounding tissues.

Local anesthesia is used to ensure your comfort. We make a small opening in the tooth to access the infected pulp.

The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.

The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future infection.

Most root canal-treated teeth are covered with a crown to restore their strength, appearance, and function.
