Root Canal Dentist - Endodontics

in Aurora and Denver, Colorado

Teeth are not all pearly white. Inside each tooth lies a slender strand of “pulp,” which contains nerves and provides nutrients to the tooth. This pulp reaches all the way down to the tooth's root. When a tooth's pulp becomes infected, endodontic dentistry, or root canal treatment is urgently needed - otherwise the tooth itself may be at risk of dying. Root canals are used to save teeth in such situations. After administering anesthesia, the dentist can reshape or extract the infected pulp by drilling through the top of the tooth. The tooth is then sealed with a crown made of porcelain or gold.

Aspenwood Dental Associates offers patients a wide variety of procedures and options for their dental health. Root Canals in particular, can save a tooth from further infection and therefore avoid the risk of loosing the tooth completely.

Many patients are unsure of their risk and need for endodontic dentistry - especially if they have not visited a dentist in a while. This is why it is important to schedule a free consultation with our Aurora, Colorado endodontic dentistry expert as soon as possible - especially if you are experiencing extreme discomfort or have been told in the past that you need a root canal.
