Root Canal Therapy

Restorative dental treatments from a lifelong dental relationship you know and trust.

Robert - Sedation Dentistry Patient Review

Dental Care for Your Life

Root canal therapy is the treatment of choice to save a tooth affected by decay or infection and restore it to its full function. Our expert dentists remove the living tissue, nerves, bacteria, and decay inside the tooth and replace it with medicated dental material. Root canals are less costly and disruptive than extraction and usually last a lifetime. What’s more, we can take care of your root canal in-house for your ultimate convenience and comfort. 

CascadesONE Patient Testimonial - Vicki C.

“My root canal went very smoothly. I had zero pain; Dr. Makkar made sure I knew what she was doing, and she answered every question I had. She gave me a blanket and, importantly, a squeeze ball for stress.”

Vicki C., CascadesONE Patient

Ensuring Your Comfort

Root canals can cause fear, anxiety, and distress for some patients. At CascadesONE Dental, we prioritize the experience of our patients and strive to provide and comfortable, and stress-free experience. Our premier dentistry offers sedation options so you can move through your appointment feeling at ease. There are several options available depending on your needs, and your compassionate dental health team is ready to discuss them at your consultation.

Modern root canal procedures are much more comfortable than their reputation suggests. With anesthesia and advanced techniques, most patients feel little to no pain during the procedure. Post-treatment soreness is manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

While not every tooth that needs root canal therapy is symptomatic, common signs include: severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swollen or tender gums, and darkening of the tooth. Our expert dental team can confirm whether you need a root canal with an exam and X-ray as part of your comprehensive dental care plan. 

With proper care, a tooth that has had a root canal can last a lifetime. However, you may eventually need a crown replacement if it becomes worn over time. Our expert team will monitor your needs as part of your comprehensive care plan and regular exams.
