After you’ve met with our Desert Sky Dental Summerlin Endodontics team and determined that a root canal is the best course of action to preserve your tooth, our office will schedule the procedure with you.

When you come in for your root canal, our specialists will use a local anesthetic to numb the surrounding tissue. Once numbed, a dental dam will be placed on the affected tooth and the procedure will begin. Your dentist will remove all the damaged dental pulp and do a thorough cleaning inside the canal to ensure no bacteria is left behind. The canal is then filled with a biocompatible material designed specifically for dental work. Lastly, a temporary filling is placed over the opening to keep it clean and protected. While root canals can be done in one appointment, additional appointments may be needed to complete all the steps.

Your restoration needs will be discussed with you at your visit.
