Root Canal Treatment
Improved technology and modern anesthesia make root canal procedures more comfortable and effective. Root canal treatments eliminate infection while preserving your natural tooth.
Expert Root Canal Operation in Oklahoma City
Your tooth’s outer enamel acts as a protective shield, but deep cavities, cracks, or trauma can allow bacteria to reach the inner pulp, causing painful infections. A root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, cleans the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent further issues. This procedure restores function while eliminating discomfort.
Undergoing a root canal operation can prevent the need for tooth extraction and preserve your natural smile. Our skilled team ensures a smooth, pain-free experience with advanced techniques and sedation options. Following treatment, proper aftercare helps maintain long-term oral health and prevents reinfection.

What happens if I delay a needed root canal?
Delaying treatment allows the infection to spread, which can cause increased pain, swelling, and even tooth loss. Addressing the issue early helps preserve your tooth and prevents complications.
-
Can a root canal fail?
While root canal treatments have a high success rate, reinfection can occur if the tooth is not properly sealed or if new decay develops. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene help maintain long-term success.
-
Do root canals cause long-term sensitivity?
Mild sensitivity is normal for a short period after the procedure, but it typically fades as the tooth heals. Persistent discomfort could indicate further treatment is needed.
