Root Canal Therapy in Hales Corners
The procedure that has a bad reputation actually ends the pain. Most root canals feel a lot like getting a filling.
When infection reaches the inside of a tooth, a root canal removes it, relieves the pain, and saves the tooth. The procedure is minimally invasive and comfortable, and sedation is available if you would like it. Most appointments take under 90 minutes.
How it works
- 1 Numb the area and isolate the tooth with a dental dam
- 2 Gently remove the infected pulp
- 3 Clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth
- 4 Fill and seal it with gutta-percha
- 5 Place a temporary, then a permanent crown
