Root Canals in Winter Garden, FL

Save your tooth with our innovative treatment.

What Is a Root Canal?

We promise they aren't as scary as you might think.

A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures to fix an infected tooth. Well over 14 million root canals are performed each year. The simple treatment helps save your natural teeth and prevents the need for dental implants or bridges.

At Winter Garden Smiles, we safely perform root canals to decrease pain and increase dental health. The tooth’s center is pulp, a collection of blood vessels that helps build the surrounding tooth, and an infection here warrants a visit to the dentist. Symptoms of an infection include visible injury, swelling of the tooth, temperature sensitivity, or pain in the tooth and gums.

Reasons for a pulp infection requiring a root canal include:

  • Deep decay
  • Trauma to the tooth
  • Cracks and chips

How Is a Root Canal Performed?

Our experts use modern technology to give you a painless result.

Consultation

If your tooth doesn’t qualify for endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you’ll be informed at the time of consultation. We’ll also monitor for issues during or after treatment.

Pain Relief

We use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. In addition, we provide nitrous oxide analgesia if indicated. You’ll be able to drive home after treatment and will most likely be comfortable returning to your normal routine.

Treatment

The injured pulp is removed, and the root canal is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. We typically use local anesthesia and complete treatment in one or more visits, depending on the patient. 90% of cases are successful.
