Root Canals in Streeterville, Chicago, IL

When an infection reaches the deep, internal portion of a tooth, a root canal is necessary to save the tooth’s structure. Through this treatment, the inner pulp and nerves are removed, leaving the tooth’s outer shell and roots. Then, the area is thoroughly cleaned and sealed before a permanent root canal filling and crown is placed over the tooth’s remaining structure.

Modern technology makes root canal therapy as comfortable and straightforward as a standard filling. This treatment offers an effective way to avoid tooth extraction. You can maintain a natural smile using the healthy portion of the tooth that remains.
