Heal with Houston Root Canal Dentists

At Parkway Modern Dentistry, we know the words “root canal” don’t exactly warm hearts. But here, it’s different. Houston root canal treatment is an act of rescue to save your natural tooth, ease your pain, and preserve your radiant smile for years to come. Think of it as your tooth’s second chance at life, and we’re the ones to help it thrive.

What Is a Root Canal?

Tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around a tooth? Chances are, your tooth’s pulp is inflamed or infected from severe decay, a deep cavity, a cracked tooth, or even an old dental injury acting up.

Unlike pulling a tooth, which creates a whole new set of challenges, root canals go to the heart of the issue, saving your natural tooth by removing the source of the problem. Instead of losing a vital part of your smile, root canals allow you to keep it intact.

The Root Canal Procedure, Step by Step

Guided by diagnostic scans, we’ll plan your procedure, explaining everything so that you’re comfortable moving forward.

Once your tooth is fully numbed or you’ve had sedation, we’ll carefully remove the infected pulp from inside the tooth.

After cleaning, we’ll shape the canals and then fill and seal them with a material designed to keep future infections out.

Finally, we’ll cap your tooth with a dental crown to restore its strength and appearance so it’s just like new.

Root Canal Therapy FAQs

Do root canals hurt?

We get it—root canals have a bad reputation, but thanks to modern techniques and anesthesia, today’s root canal therapy is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most of our patients report feeling relief from pain soon after treatment.

  • Severe Tooth Pain
  • Temperature Sensitivity 
  • Swollen Gums
  • Tooth Discoloration

The earlier we catch an issue, the easier it is to treat, so contact our root canal specialists.

Extractions leave you with an empty gap that can cause bone loss and alignment issues. A root canal, on the other hand, allows you to keep your tooth. Plus, you won’t have to get a tooth replacement.

You might feel slight discomfort for a day or two, but over-the-counter pain relievers usually do the trick. You’ll be back to enjoying your favorite meals and chewing with ease in no time.
