Root Canal Therapy

Relief from pain and protection for your natural teeth.

When infection or deep decay reaches the inside of a tooth, the pain can be intense, and the health of the tooth is at serious risk. Root canal therapy is designed to remove infection, ease discomfort, and preserve your natural tooth instead of losing it to extraction. With this treatment, you can:

• Find relief from severe pain and sensitivity
• Stop infection from spreading to other teeth or gums
• Maintain your natural tooth structure for long-term function
• Avoid the need for bridges, implants, or dentures

At Dr. Prieto’s practice, we make root canal therapy a comfortable, stress-free experience. Here’s how it works:



• Comfort First – The area is carefully numbed to keep you relaxed and pain-free.
• Careful Cleaning – The infected pulp tissue inside the tooth is removed with precision.
• Disinfection & Seal – The tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent reinfection.
• Restoration – A durable crown is placed to strengthen the tooth and restore its natural appearance.

Most root canals can be completed in just one or two visits. With proper care, your treated tooth can remain strong and functional for decades.
