Root Canal Treatment

Modern root canals don’t cause pain — they relieve it, gently and routinely.

Modern Root Canals Relieve Pain — They Don’t Cause It

There’s no doubt about it: root canal treatment in the past was an arduous process! And though jokes about it remain to this day, modern root canal procedures bear little resemblance to times past. Rather than causing pain, today’s root canals relieve it by using gentle procedures to remove infected, diseased or otherwise traumatized nerve tissue and blood vessels from inside the tooth.

The dentists at the Greenwich Dental Group have performed root canals on thousands of satisfied patients, and we offer state-of-the-art technology to minimize any discomfort. It has truly become a routine part of dental care.

The Finishing Touch
Sealed & Crowned

Once the infected tissue is removed, your tooth canal is filled with an inert material and sealed.

The entire process can be completed in one or two visits as your tooth is capped with a new crown precisely contoured to your individual needs.
