Root Canal Therapy

If the pulp of a tooth (its nerve and blood supply) becomes infected and/or inflamed, it can be extremely painful. Root canal treatment is often the only way to relieve this pain without actually removing the tooth. In a root canal treatment, the nerve that lies within the root of the tooth is removed. With the modern techniques used by the dentist Mesa AZ, this procedure is generally a very comfortable one.

The Dental Center of Mesa can perform necessary root canals on all teeth (including molars) without an outside referral. In rare cases when root canal treatment is unsuccessful, further treatment, including apicoectomy (root canal surgery) can be done right in our office. If a case is particularly complicated, we may refer you to an endodontist (root canal specialist), in order to ensure that your problem with the root canal is completely resolved.
