Save your natural tooth and relieve deep pain. Our expert root-canal treatments clear infection from inside the tooth—comfortably and efficiently.
When decay or trauma reaches the innermost pulp chamber, a root-canal procedure is often the best way to preserve your natural tooth. At Fairfax Dental & Cosmetics, our endodontist uses high-resolution imaging, gentle rotary instruments, and biocompatible filling materials to remove infection, disinfect the canals, and seal them against reinfection. With advanced anesthesia and sedation options, most patients describe root canals as no more uncomfortable than a routine filling.
We take digital X-rays or CBCT scans to map each canal and assess infection extent.
Using microscopic magnification, we create a tiny opening, then remove infected tissue with rotary instruments and antimicrobial irrigants.
Each canal is shaped to a precise taper and filled with gutta-percha and sealer to block bacterial ingress.
Most root-canal teeth receive a custom crown to restore strength, function, and esthetics—keeping your smile intact for decades.
After your root-canal treatment, we’ll provide detailed home-care instructions, prescribe any needed antibiotics or pain medication, and schedule follow-up visits to place your permanent restoration. Our goal is to preserve your natural tooth, eliminate infection, and return you to comfortable chewing and smiling—with no lingering discomfort.
Modern techniques and anesthesia make them as comfortable as a filling—patients often nap through the procedure.
Most people return to normal activities the same day; mild soreness can last 1–2 days and is easily managed with over-the-counter or prescription pain relief.
Yes—placing a crown restores strength and protects the treated tooth from future fracture.
With proper cleaning, sealing, and restoration, success rates exceed 95%; we monitor your tooth on follow-up X-rays over time.
