Root Canal Therapy In Farmington, NM, and Rio Rancho

If you’re experiencing a severe, chronic toothache, your tooth pain could indicate an inner tooth infection. Inside every tooth, there is a pulp chamber containing living connective tissue. Tiny passages in your tooth roots allow nerves to travel to and from the pulp chamber. When an infection reaches the pulp chamber, it can hit these nerves. If the condition isn’t treated, it can spread to your other teeth or even get into the bloodstream and cause serious health problems.

Sundance Dental and Orthodontics provides root canal treatment to save your tooth and prevent health issues.

Find Relief for Your Tooth Pain With Root Canal Therapy From Your Sundance Team

A root canal, Rio Rancho, or root canal therapy relieves your tooth pain and helps protect and preserve your tooth by removing the infected tissue and bacteria before they can do more harm. After the infection has been cleaned out, we will maintain, protect, and restore your remaining tooth structure with a porcelain dental crown at one of our offices in Farmington, NM, Rio Rancho, or Bloomfield, NM. Before root canals were available, tooth extraction was required when the infection spread to the pulp chamber. With a root canal, Farmington, NM, we can help patients achieve a lasting, healthy smile longer.

The Benefits of a Root Canal:

  • Root canal treatment allows us to save teeth that have become severely infected.
  • By performing root canal therapy, we can keep the bacteria causing the infection from spreading to the rest of your teeth.
  • Root canal therapy allows us to protect our patient’s oral health and protect them from the harmful effects the bacteria could cause if it managed to reach the bloodstream.

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage inside a tooth. It involves removing the infected pulp and cleaning the root canals. After cleaning, dentists seal the space to prevent further infection.

Most patients feel slight discomfort similar to getting a cavity filled, but no severe pain, thanks to modern techniques and local anesthesia. The procedure is meant to relieve pain caused by infection.

The veneers process typically requires two visits. The first visit involves creating digital impressions of your teeth to craft customer veneers. Temporary veneers may be placed while the permanent ones are being created. Placement and potential adjustments on shape, color, and bite are made during the second visit.

You may feel mild soreness for a few days after the procedure. Your dentist will usually place a crown on the tooth to restore its strength and appearance, allowing you to chew and smile confidently.
