At Garden City Family Dentistry, we specialize in saving damaged
or infected teeth with expert root canal therapy. When the inner
pulp of a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, repeated
dental procedures, or a crack in the tooth, it can cause severe
pain and lead to an abscess if left untreated.
A root canal is a common dental procedure designed to remove
this infection, relieve your pain, and restore the tooth’s
function. Using modern technology and a gentle approach, our
dentists provide precise and efficient treatment that preserves
your natural teeth and promotes long-term oral health. Don’t let
the fear of a root canal keep you in pain—modern root canals
feel very similar to getting a routine filling.

Aromatherapy, trickling fountains, and hot towel service.
Advanced imaging, 3D scans, and modern cosmetic technology.
Customizable treatment plans to fit your budget and lifestyle.
We use high-resolution digital X-rays to accurately assess
the tooth structure, locate the infection, and plan your
treatment precisely.
We numb the affected area completely. This ensures the
entire procedure is comfortable, relaxing, and pain-free.
The dentist creates a small opening to reach the pulp
chamber, carefully removes the infected pulp, and disinfects
the canals with antimicrobial solutions.
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material
called gutta-percha and sealed to prevent any future
reinfection.
Because a tooth becomes brittle after a root canal, it is
usually restored with a custom dental crown to provide
long-lasting strength and protection.
The primary benefit of a root canal is immediate relief from the
severe, throbbing pain caused by an infected tooth pulp.
Preserving your natural tooth maintains your natural smile,
allows you to eat normally, and prevents other teeth from
shifting.
Removing the infected pulp prevents the bacteria from spreading
to your jawbone, gums, or other teeth, protecting your overall
health.
Tooth pain isn’t always a cavity. You may need root canal therapy
if you experience any of the following symptoms:

Expert answers from the Garden City Family Dentistry team.
No, local anesthesia ensures a comfortable and pain-free
experience during the procedure. Most patients report it feels
similar to getting a routine filling.
Most root canal treatments are completed in one or two visits,
typically lasting 60 to 90 minutes per session depending on
the complexity of the tooth.
Usually yes. A root canal removes the tooth’s blood supply,
making it more brittle over time. A crown is placed to
strengthen and protect the tooth from fracturing.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, a tooth
treated with a root canal and properly restored with a crown
can last a lifetime.
The only alternative to a root canal is extracting the
infected tooth. However, preserving your natural tooth is
always the preferred option for long-term oral health.
