Root Canals

As many as 15 million people have root canals in America each year. What once was considered an extremely painful procedure is now a simple and relatively painless treatment. If your teeth become infected, it can become serious by spreading throughout your body. One of the best ways to combat this outside of tooth extraction is with a root canal, which consists of removing the infection, disinfecting and cleaning the tooth, and filling.

Reviews

I was a walk-in with no appointment. I had severe gum-related tooth pain in the area around a dental bridge. The receptionist at the front desk was ready to help and they took me in immediately. Dr. Ellison did not waste time but examined me and decided on a course of action (she started with a deep cleaning in two phases spread over two days to be followed up by antibiotics). I felt that they greatly cared for me. The whole staff was great, helpful, and understanding. Thank you all so much!
