Root Canal Relief at Alpine Dental
Let’s Restore Your Smile
A root canal sounds intimidating, and it’s natural to feel concerned about the procedure.
But here’s what all of our customers can tell you: with the right care and expertise, root canal treatment doesn’t have to be painful or scary.
At
Alpine Dental, we take the fear out of the process with our compassionate, gentle approach.
What Is a Root Canal and Why Is It Needed?
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to save your tooth when it becomes infected or damaged.
If left untreated, infection in the pulp of the tooth can cause pain and even lead to tooth loss.
A root canal removes this infection, preserves your tooth, and prevents the need for extraction, leaving you with a full toothed, pain-free smile.
Root Canal vs Extraction: Why Choose a Root Canal?
When a tooth is in trouble, many people wonder whether they should have a root canal or opt for an extraction.
The great news is that a root canal allows you to save your natural tooth, keeping it in your mouth where it belongs.
Extraction should always be a last resort, as keeping your natural teeth contributes to better overall oral health and function.

The Root Canal Procedure: What to Expect
Undergoing a root canal is easier than you think. Here’s what you can expect:
Diagnosis and Consultation
We’ll start by discussing your symptoms, taking X-rays, and performing an exam to assess the health of your tooth. From there, we’ll explain the best treatment options for you and answer any questions you have.
Preparing for Treatment
Before beginning the root canal, we’ll ensure that your mouth is completely numb so you feel no discomfort during the procedure. We’ll walk you through everything step-by-step, so you know exactly what’s happening.
Root Canal Treatment
During the procedure, we’ll remove the infected pulp, clean the area thoroughly, and seal the tooth to prevent future infection. This is done gently and efficiently, ensuring minimal discomfort.
Aftercare and Recovery
After the procedure, you may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity. This is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. We’ll provide clear aftercare instructions and follow up to ensure your recovery is smooth and painless.
What Happens After a Root Canal?
Follow-Up Care and Long-Term Benefits
A follow-up visit may be scheduled to ensure your tooth is healing properly. Many times, a crown is placed on the tooth after a root canal to protect and strengthen it. With proper care, your tooth can last a lifetime!
