Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy relieves deep infection and saves your natural tooth, eliminating pain while preserving your smile.
Root canal therapy removes infection from inside a damaged tooth, relieving pain and saving the tooth from extraction. Despite its reputation, modern root canal treatment is comfortable—comparable to a routine dental filling—and protects your natural smile for years to come. If you have a severe toothache, lingering sensitivity, or swelling, call Sterling Smiles Dental at 970-526-6544 to find out if root canal therapy in Sterling, CO can save your tooth.
Why a Root Canal May Be Needed
Deep inside each tooth is the dental pulp—a collection of nerves and blood vessels. When decay, a crack, or injury allows bacteria to reach the pulp, it becomes infected and painful. Root canal therapy gently removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further infection—relieving your pain while saving your natural tooth.
Preserving Your Natural Tooth
After cleaning and sealing the tooth, we restore it with a custom dental crown for strength and protection. Preserving your natural tooth supports your bite, your jawbone, and the long-term health of your entire smile—so you can avoid extraction and the need for an implant or bridge.
