Root Canal Therapy

Relieve Pain, Save Your Natural Tooth

Hearing the words “root canal” may sound intimidating, but root canal therapy through iSmile Dentistry is a safe, effective, and virtually painless way to relieve dental pain and preserve your natural tooth. With advanced technology and a gentle approach, the experienced team at iSmile provides care in both Utah and Arizona to help you heal comfortably and maintain long-term oral health.

Root canal therapy is used to treat an infection or inflammation in the soft inner tissue (pulp) of a tooth. Instead of removing the tooth entirely, root canal therapy allows us to clean out the infection, preserve your natural tooth structure, and avoid the need for extraction.

Common reasons you may need a root canal include:

• Severe toothache or pain when chewing
• Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
• Swelling or tenderness around the gums
• Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
• Deep decay or a cracked tooth that exposes the pulp

If left untreated, an infected tooth can lead to abscesses, bone loss, or systemic health concerns.

Root canal therapy has come a long way: modern tools, techniques, and anesthesia make the procedure far more comfortable than most people expect. Here’s what you can look forward to during your visit:

• A patient-centered approach focused on minimizing discomfort throughout the process
• Advanced dental technology used to ensure efficient, precise treatment
• Expert administration of anesthesia to thoroughly numb the area and keep you relaxed
• A compassionate dental team dedicated to your comfort from start to finish
• A calm, supportive environment that helps ease anxiety and promotes a positive experience

iSmile Dentistry is committed to making every step of your root canal treatment as smooth and stress-free as possible.

After your root canal, you may experience some mild tenderness or sensitivity, which usually resolves within a few days. We’ll provide clear aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery, including:

• Taking over-the-counter pain relief if needed
• Avoiding hard or chewy foods until healing is complete
• Practicing good oral hygiene and keeping up with regular checkups

Our team is always here to answer your questions and guide you through the healing process.
