Root Canal Therapy (Endodontic Treatment)

At Southern Dental in Houston, we look for ways to save your natural teeth, even when tooth decay or infection advances to the point that it reaches the nerve or tissue inside your tooth that is known as the dental pulp. At these times, root canal therapy may be advised.

It is possible for Southern Dental dentists to offer this treatment in a relatively painless manner.

In root canal therapy, we remove the infected tissue and then decontaminate the canals before filling them with replacement material. Normally, a porcelain crown is then placed over the tooth. Technological advances have allowed root canal therapy to become more automated and completed more quickly.

To avoid the need for endodontic treatment, visit a Southern Dental office regularly and practice good oral hygiene. If root canal therapy is needed, our dentists can quickly accomplish your treatment.

We have nine convenient locations in the Houston area: Heights, Spring Branch, Pasadena, Palm Center, Sugar Land, Willowbrook, Deerbrook, Katy and Baybrook. Schedule an appointment today either online or by calling us at (713) 777-2777.
