Root Canals
General Dentistry Services
Save your natural tooth and relieve pain with expert root canal therapy at Belmont Dental. Our gentle, precise approach ensures a comfortable experience while restoring the health and function of your tooth.

Why Root Canals Are Important
When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or damaged, it can lead to severe pain and threaten the health of your entire mouth. Root canal therapy is essential for:

Relieving Pain
Removes infection and inflammation, providing immediate relief from discomfort.

Preserving Natural Teeth
Saves a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted.

Preventing Further Issues
Stops the spread of infection to other teeth or areas of the body.

Restoring Functionality
Allows you to chew, bite, and speak without pain or sensitivity.
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Root canals offer significant advantages over alternative treatments, such as extraction:
- Pain Relief: Eliminates infection and discomfort quickly and effectively.
- Preservation of Natural Teeth: Maintains your natural smile and avoids gaps caused by extractions.
- Cost-Effective: Avoids the need for more extensive procedures like implants or bridges.
- Improved Oral Health: Restores function and prevents further damage or infection.

What to Expect During the Root Canal Process
At Belmont Dental, we prioritize your comfort and care every step of the way:

Comprehensive Diagnosis
- We’ll use advanced imaging and thorough evaluations to confirm the need for a root canal and plan your treatment.
Anesthesia for Comfort
- Local anesthesia ensures the procedure is painless, and sedation options are available for those with dental anxiety.

Removing Infection
- The damaged pulp is gently removed, and the tooth’s interior is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
Sealing and Restoring the Tooth
- The cleaned canal is sealed with a durable material, and a custom crown may be placed to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance.
Follow-Up Care
- We’ll provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and long-term success.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, a root canal may be necessary:
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity, especially to hot or cold.
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums around a specific tooth.
- Discoloration or darkening of a tooth.
- A small bump or pimple on the gums near the affected tooth.
- Difficulty chewing or biting due to pain.
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to further complications, including abscesses or tooth loss.

Common Questions
Are root canals painful?
No. Modern root canal therapy is virtually painless, thanks to advanced techniques and effective anesthesia. Most patients report feeling relief from pain after the procedure.
How long does the procedure take?
Root canals typically take 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Some may require a follow-up visit to place a crown.
Can a root canal save any tooth?
In most cases, yes. However, if the tooth is too severely damaged or decayed, extraction may be the best option. Our team will thoroughly evaluate your condition to recommend the best solution.
