Root Canal Therapy
Save Your Natural Tooth with Gentle, Effective Treatment
Hearing the words "root canal" can sound intimidating—but at Cura Dental, our modern, gentle approach to root canal therapy is designed to relieve pain, not cause it. If you’re dealing with a deep infection, damaged nerve, or persistent tooth pain, a root canal may be the key to saving your tooth and restoring your oral health.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat an infection or inflammation inside a tooth. When the pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth) becomes infected due to decay, trauma, or a crack, it can cause severe pain and eventually lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and then seals it to prevent further infection. The result? Pain relief and preservation of your natural tooth.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
You may need root canal therapy if you experience:
Persistent tooth pain or pressure
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
A pimple-like bump on the gums (abscess)
Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
Even if symptoms come and go, the infection can still be active—so don’t wait.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Root canal therapy at Cura Dental is comfortable, efficient, and performed using the latest techniques to ensure the best possible outcome.
Here’s what the process typically involves:
Comfort First – We numb the area thoroughly to ensure a pain-free experience.
Gentle Cleaning – The infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is disinfected.
Sealing & Protection – The tooth is filled and sealed, often followed by a dental crown to protect and restore function.
The entire process usually takes just one or two visits and helps avoid extraction and more invasive procedures.
Why Choose Root Canal Therapy?
