Expert Endodontic Care in Milford, MI

What is Endodontic Therapy?

Endodontic therapy, or root canal treatment, removes infected pulp from inside the tooth, relieves pain, and prevents the need for extraction by eliminating the source of infection.
It preserves your natural tooth, restores normal function, and helps avoid more complex procedures like implants or bridges—all while maintaining your smile’s appearance.

What to Expect During a Root Canal

Step 1: Diagnosis & X-Rays

We start with a detailed exam and X-rays to pinpoint the infection, evaluate tooth damage, and determine if a root canal is the best treatment option for you.

Step 2: Anesthesia for Comfort

To ensure a pain-free experience, we gently numb the area with local anesthesia, so you’ll remain completely comfortable throughout the entire procedure.

Step 3: Cleaning & Sealing

The infected pulp is removed, and we carefully clean and disinfect the root canals. The space is then sealed to prevent bacteria from reentering the tooth.

Step 4: Restoration

We complete the treatment by placing a filling or crown to restore the tooth’s strength, protect it from further damage, and return normal function and appearance.

Many patients say a root canal is no more uncomfortable than getting a standard filling!

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Common symptoms include lingering pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold, swollen gums, a darkened tooth, or a pimple-like bump on the gums (a sign of an abscess).
These symptoms often point to infection deep within the tooth. If left untreated, it can spread and lead to serious complications, including tooth or bone loss.
