Root canal therapy is a common dental procedure done to repair a severely damaged or decayed tooth. See Me Smile Dental of Oxnard is one of the most trusted and reputable roots canal therapy providers in Ventura County, with expertise in diagnosing, performing, and completing the most successful root canal therapy treatments.
Root canal therapy is a highly effective procedure for treating conditions of the innermost layer of a tooth, known as the pulp. At See Me Smile Dental of Oxnard, our experienced dentists specialize in performing this treatment when a tooth is suffering from dental decay, inflammation, or trauma.
Root canal therapy is used to repair and save teeth that have been severely damaged, decayed, or infected by bacteria. The main purpose of this procedure is to alleviate associated symptoms, such as severe pain and swelling, along with restoring optimal oral health.
During the root canal therapy, the dentist cleans the diseased tooth, removes the damaged dental pulp, and fills the empty root canal with a compound.
Without root canal therapy, the entire pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, may need to be removed, but with treatment, it can be effectively cleaned and sealed.
As explained above, root canal therapy is performed when a part of the tooth (called the dental pulp) becomes infected, damaged, or decayed. This damage can be caused by an accidental injury, a deep cavity, or bacterial infection.
The infected or damaged dental pulp can cause an abscess, severe discomfort, or even severe toothache. Without root canal therapy, the only option may be to get the tooth extracted, which can lead to more complications, such as an inability to comfortably eat or speak properly.
With root canal therapy, we can repair your tooth and prevent the need to get it extracted. This is why it’s important to visit See Me Smile Dental of Oxnard for a comprehensive look at your tooth and to get the right diagnosis and treatment.
At See Me Smile Dental of Oxnard, our dentists strive to provide a comfortable and stress-free treatment environment. So even though “root canals” have a bad reputation, we will make you comfortable and pain-free with numbing agents during the process.
During a root canal therapy appointment, our Oxnard dentist will thoroughly clean out the tooth structure and remove any underlying infection before sealing it with a dental filling. After the tooth is healed, a crown is then put over the tooth to restore its stability and shape. This procedure is done to save the tooth from being extracted and to ensure that it functions properly.
One of the benefits of root canal therapy is that it helps to fix the cause of the toothache, pain, or discomfort caused by an infected or decayed tooth. The procedure also restores the functionality and appearance of the tooth, helping you to feel more confident when you smile.
Root canal therapy can also help to protect your remaining teeth from infection and other damage. The procedure can also help to strengthen the tooth, making it less likely to experience further damage in the future.
The cost of root canal therapy from See Me Smile Dental of Oxnard will typically depend on the type and severity of the tooth’s condition. If the tooth has a mild infection, the root canal therapy may cost between $400 and $600. However, if the tooth is severely damaged, the cost could be more than $1,000. Patients with dental insurance may be able to have part or all of this treatment covered. Furthermore, See Me Smile Dental of Oxnard offers various payment plans and financing options to suit different requirements and budgets.
