Root Canal Therapy

Raymore Family Dentistry|Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is used to save infected or severely damaged teeth. By removing infected tissue and sealing the tooth, this treatment relieves pain and helps preserve natural teeth whenever possible.

Signs You Need It

A badly infected or inflamed dental pulp causes intense pain, prolonged sensitivity, or swelling. Root canal therapy removes the infection to stop pain and save the tooth.

Procedure

Our endodontic process involves removing the damaged nerve and pulp inside the tooth, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the canals, then sealing them. We use comfortable anesthesia and sedation, so the procedure feels like getting a filling.

Restoration

After your root canal, we restore the tooth’s structure with a filling or crown (usually a crown for back teeth). This step is crucial to strengthen the tooth and prevent fractures. Raymore Family Dentistry provides durable crowns that match your tooth color.

Pain Relief & Preservation

The goal is to relieve your pain quickly. Most patients report feeling much better after the swelling and infection are removed. You keep your natural tooth rather than opting for an extraction and bridge/implant.

If you have severe toothache or other symptoms of an infected tooth, don’t delay seeking prompt treatment. Call 1-816-322-8080 for an evaluation. We offer prompt root canal appointments to stop your pain and restore your smile.
