Non-Surgical Root Canal Therapy

When decay, trauma, or a deep crack reaches the nerve inside a tooth, the pulp gets infected. Without treatment, the tooth dies — and the infection spreads. A root canal removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the canal system, and seals the inside of the tooth to prevent reinfection.

Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable. Most root canals are completed in one or two visits, depending on which tooth and how complex the canal system is. You’ll typically need a crown afterward to protect the now-hollow tooth.

Many general dentists refer root canals to an endodontist — meaning a separate office, a separate set of appointments, and often a much higher cost. Dr. Campbell handles the majority of root canals himself, which means one location, one team, and a predictable price.
