Root Canals
Relieve pain and preserve your natural smile with advanced, stress-free root canal therapy.
Gentle Care and Advanced Technology to Save Your Tooth
An infected or damaged tooth pulp doesn't have to result in an extraction. At Stonehaven Dental, Dr. Timothy Matthews combines clinical excellence with a compassionate approach to provide modern root canal therapy. By removing infected tissues, sanitizing the internal structure, and reinforcing the tooth with a custom crown, we stop the spread of infection and restore your tooth to its full strength. Our team prioritizes your comfort, offering potent local anesthetics and sedation options to ensure the experience is as seamless as a routine filling.
