Comprehensive Examination:
Our experienced dentists will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to diagnose the infection and determine if a root canal is necessary.
We understand the importance of preserving your natural smile. Our experienced dentists offer painless and effective root canal therapy to treat infected teeth, alleviate pain, and prevent further complications.
A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth) to save the tooth itself. The infected pulp can be caused by deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or trauma. If left untreated, the infection can spread and cause pain, swelling, and even tooth loss.

We understand the concern about pain during root canal treatment. However, at Legacy Dental, we prioritize your comfort. We use local anesthesia to numb the area and employ advanced techniques to minimize discomfort. You may experience some mild sensitivity after the procedure, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
The duration of a root canal treatment can vary depending on the complexity of the case. A typical root canal can take around one to two hours, while more complex cases may require additional time. Our team will provide an estimated timeframe during your consultation.
Following the procedure, you may experience some temporary discomfort or sensitivity. Our team will provide specific post-treatment instructions, including pain management tips and dietary recommendations. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to monitor your healing and ensure the root canal is successful.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, a root canal can last for many years, even a lifetime in some cases. Maintaining good oral health practices helps prevent future decay and reinfection.
In some cases, depending on the severity of the infection, extraction may be the only option. However, whenever possible, root canal treatment is preferred to preserve your natural tooth structure. Our dentists will discuss all treatment options with you during your consultation.
Practicing good oral hygiene is essential for preventing the need for root canals. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and scheduling regular dental checkups and cleanings. Early detection and treatment of cavities can prevent them from progressing to the point where a root canal becomes necessary
