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.

Excellent care, quality, and technique in giving dental shots/numbing. Hands down the best I’ve ever experienced. The time and effort they put into care is noticeably different than other dentists.

Wonderful office . Most complete exam I have ever had. Highly recommend

I’m such a baby about any dental work, but my phobia is gone thanks to Dr Sievert and his caring staff. Even complicated procedures are painless. His hygienists are thorough but gentle. And Tracy and Susan run the office really well and make it a pleasure to walk in. Oh, and my teeth look great!

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.
