SAVE YOUR NATURAL TOOTH

Modern Root Canal Treatment

A root canal saves a tooth with infected or inflamed pulp — the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels. Infection is typically caused by deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks, or trauma. During treatment, the infected pulp is removed, the inside is cleaned, disinfected, and shaped, then filled, sealed, and crowned.

Without treatment, infection can spread to surrounding bone and tissue, and the tooth will eventually be lost. At Smile Avenue Katy, we use advanced rotary instruments and gentle technique to make root canals comfortable and efficient. Our in-house Smile Dental Lab fabricates your permanent crown with faster turnaround than practices that outsource. Patients across Cinco Ranch, Firethorne, and Westheimer Parkway trust us for pain-free root canal treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Root Canal Questions

Have more questions? Call us at (281) 800-5008.

A typical root canal takes 60–90 minutes for a single appointment. Front teeth with one canal are faster (45–60 minutes). Molars with 3–4 canals may take up to 90 minutes. At Smile Avenue, most root canals are completed in a single visit.

You may need a dental implant if you have a missing tooth, a tooth that's cracked beyond repair, chronic pain from a failing tooth, visible bone loss in your jaw, or dentures that no longer fit properly.
