Comfortable Restorations
Root canals are probably my very favorite thing in dentistry. There is nothing more rewarding than getting someone out of pain. When a patient is in pain they're distraught, they're upset, they're hurting, oftentimes they haven't slept and being able to numb someone and get them out of pain and do it in a quick manner is a great service that we offer here at our office.
There are a couple of reasons why someone would need a root canal. You can have a cracked tooth, you could have a inflammation within the tooth that can not be resolved without our intervention, or you can have an abscess tooth or necrotic tooth, which means that the nerve space or root canal system of that tooth has died. So it's filled with bacteria and the only way to relieve your pain is take the tooth out or do a root canal. If you were to take the tooth out, you run into some other problems of other teeth shifting and so if you can save your tooth, there's nothing better than having your own tooth.
- Stop the pain from a nagging toothache
- Repair and save your tooth from needing an extraction

Enjoy Your Pick of Sedation Options
The team at Starr General Dentistry prides itself on delivering the most comfortable dental care possible. That holds true for root canal therapy as well. There’s no need to dread your procedure, as we’ll go out of our way to ensure you have a great experience here. We offer two soothing forms of sedation that will help you relax:
- Inhaled Sedation – You’ll breathe in laughing gas through a comfortable mask, and in moments, you’ll begin to experience a gentle euphoria from head to toe. Your body will relax and your mind will rest at ease during your procedure.
- Oral Conscious Sedation – Your dentist will prescribe an FDA-approved pill to take before your root canal procedure. By the time we’re ready to go to work repairing your tooth, you’ll feel completely relaxed.
Experience Gentle Root Canal Treatment
Here’s what will happen during your root canal:
- Your dentist will access the diseased inner part of your tooth to clean it out.
- We’ll sterilize the tooth, then seal it with a rubber-like material to prevent further problems.
- We’ll most likely recommend capping the repaired tooth with a new crown to help protect it. The crown can be made right in our office using the CAD/CAM technology of our E4D system.
