Root Canals

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.

01
Step
Exam and X-Ray
A quick exam is the fastest way to get answers. If we need a closer look, an X-ray confirms what's happening under the surface.
02
Step
Numbing the Area
We start by numbing the area thoroughly so you stay comfortable throughout the entire procedure.
03
Step
Clean and Seal
We gently clean out the infected tissue inside the tooth, disinfect the space, and seal it to protect against future infection.
04
Step
Protect the Tooth
Most patients leave with a temporary filling, and many teeth need a crown afterward to stay strong long-term.
Don't Let an Infection Cost You a Tooth

Treatment that saves your own tooth

01
Relieves the Pain
Removing the infected tissue takes away the constant pressure and lingering ache that brought you in.
02
Stops Infection Spreading
Sealing the tooth helps stop the infection from moving into surrounding bone and tissue.
03
Keeps Your Natural Tooth
Your own tooth root stays in place, which nothing replaces quite as well once it's gone.
04
Easier Than Waiting
Getting it done sooner helps prevent bigger problems and gets you comfortable again faster.

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.

Pain That Lingers

Discomfort that stays after the hot or cold is gone, instead of fading within a second or two.

Constant Pressure

A steady ache or sense of pressure in one tooth that doesn't let up on its own.

Deep Decay

Decay that has worked its way deep enough to reach the nerve inside the tooth.

A Crack or Break

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.
