Financing Options For Any Budget

Most insurance policies cover at least a portion of root canal therapy. But if you are uninsured, don't let this prevent you from getting the treatment you need. We make root canal treatment affordable by working with third-party lenders such as CareCredit®, and LendingClub®. Our McKinney office can help explain these financing options that allow you to pay for treatment in easy, affordable monthly installments.

Common Symptoms That Can Indicate a Need for a Root Canal

If you have any of these symptoms, contact us right away so our dentist can take a look at your tooth. A root canal treatment may be necessary to prevent symptoms like these from worsening:

  • Toothache
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Discoloration
  • Swollen gums
  • Chronic bad breath
  • Abscess

The Many Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Pain Relief

An infected tooth is caused by bacteria entering the pulp (the nerves, blood vessels, and other tissue inside the tooth). This can cause excruciating pain that makes it difficult to eat or sleep. A root canal eliminates the source of the pain by removing the pulp and clearing out the root canals.

Tooth Preservation

A root canal leaves the hard exterior of the tooth intact to maintain your ability to chew and enunciate. The only alternative treatment is extraction. Whenever possible, dentists and endodontists strongly recommend a root canal instead of extraction to preserve and restore your natural tooth, which can continue to function without pulp.

Restore Oral Health

When left untreated, tooth decay and infection can quickly spread from the pulp to surrounding teeth and negatively impact your health. A root canal procedure prevents further dental issues from occurring, providing peace of mind and also helping you save money in the long run by being proactive.

Do I Need a Root Canal?

In this video, Dr. Sasan Khodabakhsh discusses symptoms that suggest you might need a root canal. The most common is a constant and worsening toothache. Patients near McKinney might also notice sensitivity, discharge from the gums, or discoloration of the enamel.

Don't Delay Treatment The Importance of Timely Care

Did you know that most root canals start from a seemingly harmless cavity? While it may seem like a minor issue at the time, cavities don't go away on their own and only get worse without treatment. It's vital to stay on top of your routine dental visits at our McKinney office so your dentist can address any signs of decay early on. It's also possible to need a root canal without having any initial symptoms because pain only starts once the infection has reached the soft inner tissue of the tooth crown and roots. In these instances, an x-ray is the only way to determine if a root canal is needed.

It's also important to note that a procedure such as a root canal is far more economical than losing a tooth and having to replace it with a dental implant-supported restoration.

A Closer Look at How a Root Canal Works

Our McKinney practice uses sophisticated tools to remove the infected soft tissue, leaving the hard exterior of the tooth intact.

The Root Canal Procedure

Consultation

Our dentist will evaluate your teeth with KaVo OP 3D, our advanced 3D digital x-ray tool that will identify any infection and determine if a root canal is needed.

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia is administered to the area to ensure a painless procedure. Any requested sedation options can also be administered to provide maximum comfort and relaxation.

Access Point

Our dentist carefully creates a small opening in the tooth to access the pulp chamber and root canals.

Removal

The infected pulp tissue (nerves, blood vessels, and other soft tissue) is removed from the tooth. We use a high-powered dental microscope for a detailed view of the pulp chamber and root canals to achieve precise care.

Disinfection

The inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected.

Filling and Sealing

Our dentist fills the tooth with a rubber-like dental material before sealing the entry point.

Crown

In most cases, patients will require a dental crown to support the tooth after the procedure. We take digital impressions to create your custom crown, which will be ready in about a week. We can craft and place a same-day crown.
