What Happens During a Root Canal?
A root canal becomes necessary when the innermost part of a tooth, the pulp (which contains nerves and blood vessels), becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, a crack, or trauma. To treat it, we begin by thoroughly numbing the area so you remain comfortable throughout. We then create a small opening in the tooth to access the pulp chamber, carefully removing the infected tissue and cleaning the canals. Once the canals are shaped and disinfected, they are filled and sealed with a biocompatible material. Typically, a dental crown is then placed over the tooth to restore its strength and protect it long-term.

The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process
Every wisdom tooth extraction begins with a thorough evaluation to assess the position, angle, and root development of each tooth. On the day of your procedure, the area will be fully numbed using local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for patients who would prefer a more relaxed experience. Simple extractions, where the tooth has fully erupted, are normally straightforward.
For teeth that are impacted, meaning they are trapped beneath the gums, a small incision is made to access and carefully remove the tooth in sections if needed. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the procedure feels, and our team will send you home with detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth and comfortable recovery.
