Root Canal Therapy Falls Church and Sterling, VA

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged. When the inner pulp of your tooth becomes infected, it can cause significant pain and potentially lead to more serious health issues if left untreated. Infection can result from deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. We strongly recommend that you seek professional care at the first sign of pain or sensitivity. The sooner the problem is addressed, the more likely it is that your tooth can be saved.

During root canal therapy, the infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed. This process stops the infection from spreading and alleviates the pain. The inside of the tooth is then thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. After cleaning, the tooth is filled with a rubber-like material and sealed to prevent further infection. To restore the tooth’s full function and appearance, a dental crown is usually placed over it. This ensures that the tooth remains strong and blends in with your natural teeth.

Contrary to popular belief, root canal therapy is not painful. Modern techniques and anesthetics have made the procedure relatively comfortable, similar to getting a filling. Our dentists and team are committed to providing a stress-free experience, ensuring you are comfortable throughout the process. Root canal therapy can typically be completed in one or two visits, allowing you to get back to your normal routine quickly.
