Root Canals

If you experience dental pain and pressure, you may have an internally damaged tooth. A root canal is a conservative treatment to alleviate discomfort and prevent further injury. Dr. Hagerty uses advanced techniques to make root canal therapy a positive, comfortable experience and potentially save teeth from extraction.

When the canals that lead from the tooth pulp, or nerve, sustain damage from a deep cavity, fracture, or other trauma, infection may occur. Left untreated, the infection worsens, and the pulp may die – which causes even more discomfort and may result in tooth and gum loss.

A root canal removes early-stage infection to preserve a tooth and prevent extraction. After Dr. Hagerty clears the canals, he’ll fill them with a biologically inert substance and mounts a custom crown atop your tooth to recharge your smile and revitalize your oral health.
