Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic therapy, has a reputation for being a painful procedure. In reality, however, a root canal is often administered with minimal discomfort thanks to today’s modern dental techniques and technologies.
At Zen Triangle Dentistry in Cary NC, we have the experience and training to provide gentle and effective root canal therapy in Cary, NC in a caring, comfortable environment. During treatment, the diseased inner tissue of a tooth is removed to repair the tooth that is badly decayed or infected. The procedure is relatively simple — involving just a few trips to our Cary office. Best of all, a root canal can save your tooth!

Saving a tooth with root canal treatment is always preferred over extracting the tooth. There are many advantages to having root canal treatment, including:
The best way to determine whether you need a root canal is to visit your dentist for an exam. Signs that may point to a diseased tooth or infected nerve include:
Symptoms may not always be noticeable or present. Thus, it is important to visit your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. When an infected tooth is detected early, it has the best chance of being saved with root canal therapy.
Root canal treatment typically requires two visits to our Cary office. During the procedure, Dr. Vaghani will first numb the affected tooth with anesthesia to help you remain comfortable and without pain throughout the duration of the appointment.
Once the tooth is completely numb, we can remove the infected nerve and pulp tissue from within the tooth, clean the tooth and then seal the tooth with a medicated material to prevent further infection.
Finally, the tooth is capped with a crown to protect the weakened tooth from decay and help ensure its longevity. Your restored tooth can last a lifetime with proper oral hygiene habits and regular dental checkups.
