Fix cavities without metal fillings to keep your smile looking natural.
Root canals have a reputation they don't deserve. With today's technology they are no more uncomfortable than getting a filling and they can save your tooth from extraction. At FLOSS Dental in Delray Beach, FL, we complete most root canals in a single visit using advanced imaging, precise techniques and a calm, supportive environment to make the experience easy from start to finish.
A root canal is a procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside the tooth. This stops the pain, prevents the infection from spreading and preserves the natural tooth so you can chew, speak and smile without worry. Once the area is cleaned and disinfected we fill and seal the tooth to restore its strength and function.
We use digital imaging to see inside the tooth and pinpoint the exact problem.
Local anesthesia ensures you stay pain-free throughout the procedure.
We remove infected tissue and thoroughly disinfect the tooth's interior.
The cleaned space is filled with a safe, durable material and sealed to prevent future issues.
In many cases we recommend a custom crown to protect the treated tooth and restore full function.
Most patients experience only mild soreness for a day or two which can be managed with over-the-counter medication. You can return to eating, speaking and smiling normally before you know it. Our team provides clear aftercare instructions and checks in to ensure you are healing well.
Root canals are often part of a larger treatment plan. A crown is typically placed afterward to protect the treated tooth. If you're experiencing pain, our emergency dentistry team can see you the same day. In cases where extraction is needed, explore tooth extraction services and dental implants for replacement. Sedation dentistry is available for added comfort.
Don't live with tooth pain or risk losing a tooth to infection. Book your appointment today.
