What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy, often referred to as endodontic treatment, is a proven method for treating infection or inflammation deep inside a tooth. The soft tissue within your tooth, called the pulp, can become damaged due to decay, injury, or repeated dental procedures. Without treatment, this infection can cause severe discomfort and may eventually lead to tooth loss. A root canal is designed to stop the infection, relieve pain, and save your natural tooth.

  • Remove the infection The inflamed or infected pulp is carefully removed to stop the spread of bacteria.
  • Thorough cleaning The inside of the tooth is disinfected to ensure it’s completely free of harmful bacteria.
  • Seal the canal The cleaned space is filled and sealed with a biocompatible material to protect the tooth.
  • Restore function In many cases, a custom crown is placed to strengthen the tooth and bring back its natural look and bite.

Our goal at Empower Dental is to preserve your natural tooth whenever possible—restoring comfort, strength, and confidence while protecting your overall oral health.

What Is the Cost of Root Canal Therapy?

Do You Need Root Canal Therapy?

Root Canal Therapy is often the most effective way to stop dental pain and preserve your natural tooth when it’s become damaged or infected. Because symptoms can progress gradually, many patients don’t realize they need treatment until the condition becomes severe. At Empower Dental, we use advanced diagnostic tools to catch issues early and determine if a root canal is the right solution for you.

  • Ongoing tooth pain or lingering sensitivity that doesn’t resolve on its own.
  • Discomfort when chewing or biting that makes everyday meals difficult.
  • Swelling, tenderness, or drainage in the gums near a specific tooth.
  • Noticeable darkening or discoloration of a tooth compared to the rest of your smile.
  • Cracks, chips, or extensive decay that expose the pulp inside the tooth.

Root Canal Retreatment

Even if you’ve had a root canal before, problems can sometimes reappear if the tooth doesn’t heal as expected or develops new infection. In these cases, our team may recommend retreatment—a second chance to clean, disinfect, and restore the tooth. Retreatment can often save a tooth that might otherwise require extraction, giving you another opportunity to preserve your natural smile.

If you’re dealing with any of these symptoms, Root Canal Therapy can relieve pain, restore function, and help you avoid losing the tooth. Acting quickly makes treatment simpler and more effective. Book your free consultation today and protect your smile with advanced, comfortable care.
