Root Canal Treatment
in Houston, TX
Stop the toothache and save the tooth. Gentle root canal therapy that clears the infection and gets you comfortable again.
What Is a Root Canal?
Save a Tooth Instead of Losing It
A root canal treats an infected or inflamed tooth from the inside. We gently remove the irritated tissue, clean and seal the tooth, and help you keep your natural smile instead of losing the tooth. When that inner tissue is infected, it can create constant pressure and pain until it's treated.
A root canal is often needed when deep decay reaches the nerve, or a crack or break exposes it. That's when sensitivity can turn into lingering pain. By removing the infected tissue and sealing the tooth, we can relieve discomfort, help stop the infection from spreading, and give you a better chance of keeping the tooth.

Warning Signs
Signs You Shouldn't Wait On
Sensitivity that turns into lingering pain is usually the turning point. If any of these sound familiar, a quick exam is the fastest way to get answers.
Discomfort that stays after the hot or cold is gone, instead of fading within a second or two.
A steady ache or sense of pressure in one tooth that doesn't let up on its own.
Decay that has worked its way deep enough to reach the nerve inside the tooth.
A crack or break can expose the nerve, sometimes before you feel anything at all.
Why Choose Dentiq Dentistry for Root Canals
The fastest way to get answers is a quick exam. If we need a closer look, we may take an X-ray to confirm what's happening under the surface. When a root canal is the right move, getting it done sooner helps prevent bigger problems and gets you comfortable again.
Imaging, treatment, and the crown that often follows are all handled here rather than split across offices. And if the tooth truly can't be saved, we'll tell you straight and walk you through the options instead of putting you through a procedure that won't hold.

Far less than the toothache that brings most people in. We numb the area thoroughly first, and most patients are surprised by how straightforward the visit feels.
Lingering pain, constant pressure, or sensitivity that no longer fades are the usual signs. A quick exam, and an X-ray if needed, is the only way to know for certain.
Usually a single appointment, though some teeth need a second visit depending on how many canals are involved and how much infection is present.
It's normal to feel a little sore for a few days afterward. Most people go back to their usual routine right away and manage any tenderness easily.
Often, yes. Most patients leave with a temporary filling, and many teeth need a dental crown afterward to keep them strong long-term, since a treated back tooth takes a lot of force when you chew. If the damage is more limited, an inlay or onlay may be enough. We'll tell you which your tooth actually needs.
The infection doesn't resolve on its own. It can spread into surrounding bone and tissue, and the tooth is often lost anyway, just later and with more difficulty.
A properly treated and protected tooth can last for many years. Brushing, flossing, and regular checkups matter here just as much as they do for any other tooth.
Root canals are a restorative procedure, so most plans provide some level of coverage. Dentiq Dentistry works with most major PPO insurance plans and is happy to submit an itemized plan on your behalf. Flexible financing options are also available.
