How Does Root Canal Therapy Work?
During a root canal, Dr. Mueller will access the inner chamber of your tooth where the infection is located and remove it. To ensure that no harmful bacteria are left behind, he'll sanitize the area and fill it with a substance called gutta percha to replace the lost structure. We'll then take impressions of your tooth to craft a customized crown. When it arrives at our dental office, we'll call you back in to secure it over your treated tooth.
Preserving Your Natural Smile
Root canal therapy is one of the most effective ways to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. Rather than resorting to extraction, this treatment allows us to remove the source of your pain while keeping your natural tooth intact. With a custom crown placed over the treated tooth, you'll be able to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
