Root Canal Therapy in Hawthorne, CA

Expert Endodontic Care

When the inner pulp of a tooth faces infection or serious damage, root canal therapy serves as a vital intervention to safeguard your natural tooth. At Emerald Dental Studio, Dr. Karen Sierra employs meticulous methods to eradicate infection while ensuring your oral health remains intact. Our endodontic treatments emphasize the removal of unhealthy tissue and the restoration of function to compromised teeth.

Protecting Your Natural Smile with Specialized Care

Root canal therapy offers numerous benefits over tooth extraction by retaining your natural bite alignment and preventing the movement of nearby teeth. This procedure alleviates intense tooth pain while preserving the tooth’s overall structure. Relief from discomfort is almost immediate once the infected pulp is eliminated and the root canals are thoroughly cleaned. This treatment halts the spread of infection to adjacent tissues and negates the necessity for more intricate restorative treatments.

Thorough Details of the Endodontic Procedure

The root canal procedure initiates with the administration of local anesthesia to ensure complete comfort during the treatment. Dr. Karen Sierra carefully creates a small access point in the crown of the affected tooth to access the infected pulp chamber. Using specialized tools, we meticulously extract diseased tissue from the root canals, which are then shaped and disinfected. After a thorough cleaning, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material before the access point is sealed. Typically, a crown finalizes the restoration process.
