Root Canals San Juan Capistrano, CA

Root canals therapy is recommended for saving teeth that may otherwise need extraction. Root canals can save teeth where a large cavity has caused an infection within the nerve of the tooth or where tooth trauma affected the nerve. Root canal therapy involves making a small opening in your tooth, removing the nerve and any infection, disinfecting and reshaping the nerve space. A biocompatible material is placed within the nerve space which seals it off from bacteria. Root canals are often a two-visit process - one where the root canal is completed and the final visit where the permanent build up is placed to close off the opening in the tooth. Sometimes a crown is necessary to prevent tooth fracture. If you had a root canal completed and another visit was recommended to you by Dr. Kaban, it is critical to return in a timely manner to save your tooth and prevent reinfection or breakage.

Comfort throughout the process

While root canals may sound daunting, Dr. Kaban and her San Juan Capistrano dentist team explain the process, answer your questions, and ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. At times, depending on the tooth, it may require treatment by an endodontist or root canal specialist.
