At Steven L Rattner, DDS, PA & Associates, preserving your natural teeth is a priority. When a tooth becomes infected or severely damaged, root canal treatment can often save it, allowing you to maintain your smile and oral health. We provide compassionate and expert care to guide you through the process.

Root canal treatment involves carefully removing the infected or damaged tissue from within the tooth. This allows us to relieve pain and prevent further damage while retaining your natural tooth structure. Our team uses advanced techniques and tools to ensure that the procedure is as comfortable and efficient as possible.

What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment

Your comfort and wellbeing are always our top priorities. The root canal treatment begins with a thorough examination by Dr. Steven L. Rattner, Dr. Andrew Donald or Dr. Devin Allison, where we assess the condition of the affected tooth and surrounding tissues. If root canal therapy is necessary, the procedure will be explained in detail, ensuring you understand each step.

  • Numbing the area: We use local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
  • Cleaning the tooth: The infected pulp is carefully removed from the tooth, and the root canals are cleaned and disinfected.
  • Sealing the tooth: After cleaning, the tooth is filled and sealed to prevent further infection.

Aftercare and Long-Term Results

After your root canal treatment, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. While some sensitivity is normal, most patients experience significant relief from pain after the procedure. Our dentists and team are here to support you every step of the way, from initial consultation to post-treatment care.
