Relieve Pain & Restore Your Oral Health

Root canal therapy effectively relieves pain and preserves a tooth that is damaged or infected. If left untreated, an infected tooth can cause severe pain, swelling, and even spread to other parts of your body.

At Westlake Family Dentistry, your dentist performs most root canals in-house, so you can receive the care you need without the hassle of seeing a specialist.

Our team is experienced in diagnosing and treating dental infections, providing effective pain relief while preserving your natural tooth. By addressing the issue early, you can avoid an extraction and you won't have to worry about replacing a missing tooth.

You'll also have a shorter, easier recovery with a root canal, with less swelling and bleeding.

Experience a Comfortable, Stress-Free Procedure

We know that the thought of a root canal can be overwhelming, but our team is committed to making your visit comfortable and stress-free.

By using advanced technology and gentle methods, we provide an efficient and pain-relieving treatment. During the procedure, your dentist carefully removes the infected tissue, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further issues.

To keep you relaxed, we offer cozy amenities like pillows, blankets, and noise-canceling headphones, ensuring a calming environment throughout your visit. If you feel anxious, our sedation options can help you relax throughout the process. You can choose laughing gas or oral conscious sedation.

Schedule your appointment today to learn more about our root canals in Lake Oswego and get the relief you need.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canals

Do root canals hurt?

No, root canals are designed to relieve pain, not cause it. At Westlake Family Dentistry, we use modern techniques and local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. We also offer sedation options if you feel anxious. Most patients report feeling much better once the infection is removed and the pain is relieved.

How long does a root canal take?

The length of the procedure depends on the severity of the infection and the tooth being treated, but most root canals are completed in one visit. On average, the treatment takes about 60 to 90 minutes. We use advanced technology to make the process as quick and efficient as possible.

What should I expect after a root canal?

It's normal to experience mild soreness for a few days after the procedure. Over-the-counter pain relievers are usually enough to manage any discomfort. You should avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the permanent restoration is in place. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
