Get Comfortable Root Canal Treatment From Our Experienced Team
You may have heard root canal horror stories, but most patients find the experience no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Our team takes time to explain each step and answer any questions so you feel at ease throughout your visit.
To make your visit more comfortable, we offer amenities such as:
-
Private patient rooms for a calm, quiet experience

TVs to help take your mind off treatment

During treatment, Dr. McCullough removes the infected portion of the tooth, cleans and seals it, and places a temporary filling. A crown is then placed later to fully restore the tooth.

Treatment costs can vary greatly for a root canal, so you will need to come in for an initial exam and imaging before we can give you a cost for your particular procedure. For your convenience, we offer several flexible payment options, including financing through CareCredit and Sunbit.
While they have that reputation, most patients find a root canal no more uncomfortable than receiving a filling. The procedure eliminates pain; it doesn’t cause it! We’ll numb your mouth with local anesthesia so you don’t feel pain, helping you stay comfortable and relaxed throughout the procedure.
If the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected, you’ll need to have a root canal or remove the tooth. Otherwise, the infection can worsen and spread to your jaw and even elsewhere in your body, causing potentially serious health issues. You’ll recover more easily from a root canal than an extraction, and it keeps your tooth structure in place.
