Root canal therapy has a reputation for being intimidating, but at Hylo Park Dental & Implants in North Las Vegas, it is a comfortable, routine procedure that saves teeth from extraction. Our advanced technology and compassionate approach make this treatment highly effective and nearly painless.
A root canal becomes necessary when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, often due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma. Without treatment, the infection can spread and cause pain, swelling, and even tooth loss.
During the procedure, our dentist carefully removes the infected tissue, disinfects the root canals, and seals the tooth with a biocompatible material. Finally, the tooth is restored with a crown to protect its structure and function. The result is a healthy, pain-free tooth that can last a lifetime with proper care.
Thanks to modern anesthesia and advanced techniques, root canals today are no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Many patients feel relief almost immediately after the procedure, as the source of their pain has been removed.
