For Gentle Root Canal Therapy, Contact Riley Dental Group in San Fernando
A root canal can save a damaged tooth from extraction. When the pulp (also called nerve) of a tooth is damaged beyond repair, your Riley Dental Group dentist may recommend a root canal. Modern anesthesia and dental tools make root canal therapy so gentle that some patients sleep through the procedure.
Though no one wants a root canal, we all want to keep our natural teeth for as long as possible. And rightfully so! By salvaging a damaged tooth with root canal therapy, your general dentist will preserve your smile, your bite, and save you from the time and expense of needing a replacement tooth.
Root canal therapy involves removing the damaged pulp within the canal of your tooth and replacing it with manmade filler. Often, the repaired tooth is finished with an aesthetic crown for optimal durability and function.
Have you been told that you need a root canal? Call the San Fernando dental office of Riley Dental Group for a second opinion! Dr. Riley, Dr. Shimizu, and Dr. Kahn are passionate about oral healthcare, so if you live in Granada Hills, Northridge, or Valencia, schedule your appointment today.
