Safe, Effective Root Canals

At Brighter Day Dental, your comfort is our top priority. If you’re feeling debilitating pain in your tooth, a root canal may be the best solution. Designed to clean out bacteria from infected teeth, a root canal removes the inflamed and infected pulp from within your tooth. The result is a clean, hollowed-out tooth that is then filled.

Once your tooth has healed, it functions and feels like a normal, healthy tooth. This is a highly common and effective treatment and, contrary to popular belief, there is no need to feel nervous or worried.

 

A Proven Treatment for Tooth Pain

When it comes to needing a root canal, time is of the essence. The longer you wait, the more discomfort you might endure, and the more extensive the procedure may become. Dr. Kim and the adept team at Brighter Day Dental are here to guide you on the path to restoring your teeth to a state of health and well-being.

Our approach is grounded in prudence, and we always prioritize a consultative discussion when addressing your dental health requirements. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us at (832) 930-7775.  Your dental health is our commitment.

 

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

In most cases, we recommend placing a dental crown after a root canal to protect the tooth. After a root canal treatment, teeth can become weaker and more likely to crack or break. A crown covers the tooth, restores its strength, and helps it function like a natural tooth. Our durable, custom dental crowns are designed to restore both teeth beautifully and effectively.

 

Are there alternatives to root canals?

In some cases, a root canal alternative may be considered. If a tooth is badly damaged or infected, an extraction might be an option. After an extraction, we would recommend replacing the missing tooth with a bridge, dental implant, or partial denture to maintain your bite and smile. However, whenever possible, we recommend saving your natural tooth with a root canal, as it helps preserve the structure and function of your mouth.
