Root canal treatment, also known as root canal therapy, is one of the most common procedures performed by endodontists. At Laser Endodontic Care, we provide advanced root canal treatment in Vienna, VA to remove infection, relieve pain, and help patients avoid tooth extraction.
A root canal treats infection within the tooth’s pulp, the soft tissue at the center of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes damaged due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, infection can develop and cause pain, swelling, and sensitivity.
By removing the infected tissue and sealing the tooth, root canal therapy allows patients to preserve their natural teeth and avoid the need for dental implants or bridges.
Root canal treatment is most effective when performed by an experienced endodontist. Our Vienna endodontist has advanced training focused exclusively on diagnosing and treating infections inside the tooth, ensuring precise care and long-term success.
Request an AppointmentHow Root Canal Therapy Works
During root canal therapy, the infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and shaped. The canals are then sealed using a biocompatible material to prevent future infection.
The procedure is typically completed under local anesthesia, allowing patients to remain comfortable throughout treatment. Most root canals are completed in a single visit and have a success rate of approximately 90 percent.
Following treatment, patients can usually return to normal daily activities the same day. In some cases, a dental crown may be recommended to protect the treated tooth and restore full strength and function.
