A root canal is most often needed when the tooth’s pulp chamber (the inner part) becomes infected. This usually happens when a cavity is left untreated or the tooth undergoes trauma and bacteria is allowed inside.
TV shows and movies would have you believing that a root canal is one of the most painful things you can endure. Perhaps that was closer to the truth decades ago; however, our modern root canals are a far cry from that. Here’s the process for a root canal:

An absolutely fantastic dental office. Every single person with whom I interacted was an absolute delight: warm, kind, professional, and knowledgeable. The hygienist and dentist asked me tons of questions and listened patiently as I explained my needs and asked my own questions. We came up with a workable treatment plan, and the front office manager even discussed various payment options. I was overwhelming satisfied with my experience!
I had an amazing experience at Kirchner Dental. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I had been taking care of everyone else’s teeth and not my own. My mouth had gotten to the point where I had to do something about it. I could no longer hide my dental issues. I did not feel judged by the staff. They all assured me they would take care of me and they are doing just that. I appreciate them so much. I have recommended them to my friends and family. Thank you so much, Kirchner Dental, for the care you have provided to me this far in my reconstruction journey.
Great and friendly staff. Made me feel very welcomed and encouraged about coming to the dentist after years of not being seen. Extremely knowledgeable and broke the treatment down so that is more cost efficient for me. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend!
I am a new patient here as my insurance has changed with my new job. They were very thorough and communicative with each other and myself. Being young and new to my own insurance, I am not completely confident in making appointments and using my insurance. However, at Kirchner Dental, they made sure I was comfortable and understood everything from procedures to payment. Really great staff!
As a new patient I was able to get an appointment easily and quickly. Everyone is really helpful and informative. Due to a long stretch of avoiding the dentist, I’ve had to get a lot of work done over the past few months and they have walked me through all the details every step of the way. Great office, staff and service! Highly recommend.
My first visit after some unhelpful dentistry, and I was impressed all around! The made me feel welcome, we laughed alot and a plan was made to put my teeth back in shape. I am relaxed and relieved. Thank all you ladies!!
I loved how thorough they were in my appointment compared to other dentists I’ve been to. I also felt comfortable the moment I walked in. Thank you!
The staff is Super friendly and non judgmental. I have a lot of badly broken teeth and they have been nothing but nice and professional. They explained my dental plan to me completely and answered all my questions. They work hard to help their patients and this is definitely going to be my forever dentist.
This was an amazing first experience at the dentist office. Everyone was so insightful, kind, patient, and knowledgeable. I would say this is one of the best doctors office experiences I’ve had.
This is by far the best dentist experience I’ve had! They do not make you feel rushed at all. They thoroughly explain all of the treatment plan and offer the nitrous club which is a lifesaver if you have dental anxiety! Can’t recommend them enough!
When the soft inner portion of a tooth becomes infected, it can produce intense pain. This can happen as a result of an untreated cavity or an injury to the tooth that allows bacteria inside. A root canal involves removing the diseased portion, sterilizing the tooth, and sealing it with an inert material and a crown.
Although root canals have been made out to be the bad guy of dentistry, they are actually very beneficial. In the right hands, a root canal treatment doesn’t produce any more discomfort than you would experience from getting a tooth filling. We’ll use local anesthetic to ensure a comfortable procedure. Sedation is always available as well.
Root canal treatment (often shortened to just “root canal”) involves cleaning out the infected inner part of a tooth known as the pulp chamber. Your dentist will remove the infected pulp and seal the root canals with a rubberlike material, then protect it with a filling and/or crown. This procedure stops your pain and saves the tooth from an extraction.
Without performing an exam on your mouth, it’s difficult to estimate the total cost of root canal treatment. The cost may be determined by the location of the tooth and the severity of the damage. Plus, we normally recommend capping the repaired tooth with a crown to help strengthen it, so the cost of the crown would need to be figured into the total treatment cost.
