Root Canal Treatment

When a tooth is exposed to great amounts of damage, the inner pulp or nerve may become infected. In most cases, this type of infection requires a root canal to clean out the infected pulp and preserve your natural tooth. Dr. Jacob Miller and his team will ensure that you remain comfortable throughout your treatment as we help restore your oral health. If you feel that you may be in need of a root canal in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we invite you to contact us at 616-364-7039 and schedule your consultation with our dentist today.

Commonly called a root canal, root canal treatment is a type of endodontic therapy that is often recommended if the tooth pulp and nerves become infected or damaged. This may occur if injury or decay reaches deep into the tooth, past the outer enamel layer. When left untreated, this type of infection and disease may cause the tooth to die and necessitate tooth extraction. To restore the health of the tooth and avoid the need for extraction, our skilled dentist will remove the infected and injured tissues from within the tooth, clean the tooth, and fill it with a medicated material. We will then cap the tooth with a restoration, such as a dental crown, to return the tooth to its original shape and structure. In most cases, a root canal can be completed in only one or two comfortable visits to our office.

Root canal treatment has a reputation for being a painful treatment. In reality, however, root canal treatment can often be completed with minimal discomfort thanks to advanced techniques, tools, and anesthesia. Our dentist, along with our entire dental team, works hard to provide you with a pleasant, comfortable experience each time you visit our office. To learn more about root canal treatment, we welcome you to contact us today. We are committed to restoring your smile’s health.
