What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a routine dental procedure that saves a severely damaged or decayed tooth. Instead of extracting the tooth, we remove the infection from inside and restore the tooth's structure, appearance, and function.
Here is how the procedure works:
- Decay or damage is removed from the tooth
- A small opening is made to access the infected inner tissue
- The inner chamber is cleaned and filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha
- The tooth is sealed and finished with a custom dental crown
A local anesthetic is used to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. For those who feel anxious or nervous, Tranquility Dental Wellness Spanaway offers oral sedation options to help you relax.
Signs of an Infected Tooth
If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may need a root canal:
- Darkened appearance of the tooth
- Severe, persistent toothache
- Facial inflammation or localized swelling
- Open, draining sore on the gums
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer gentle or pain-free root canal therapy in Spanaway?
Yes. Our team at Tranquility Dental Wellness Spanaway uses modern techniques, local anesthetic, and comfort amenities to make your visit as comfortable as possible.
How do I know if I need a root canal or just a filling?
If you're experiencing lingering pain, swelling, or sensitivity, it may indicate an infection that requires a root canal rather than a simple filling. We examine the tooth and take X-rays to give you a clear, accurate recommendation.
How long does a root canal take at your Spanaway office?
Most root canal treatments take one visit, typically 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the condition of the tooth.
Do you offer sedation for nervous dental patients?
Yes. Tranquility Dental Wellness Spanaway offers oral sedation to help anxious or nervous patients feel relaxed during treatment.
Will I need a dental crown after my Spanaway root canal?
Most patients do. A crown protects and strengthens the treated tooth, and our Spanaway team provides custom, natural-looking crowns.
