Alleviate tooth pain and sensitivity with a root canal

A root canal is a procedure to save an infected tooth. Tooth infections occur when the dental pulp, which houses the nerve and blood vessels, is damaged by decay, cracks, or trauma.

During a root canal, the infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is filled to prevent further infection. This procedure helps prevent the spread of localized infections to surrounding tissues and teeth.

There are many signs that you may need to consider root canal therapy including:

  • Pain or difficulty chewing or biting down
  • Extreme sensitivity to hot or cold beverages or foods
  • Changes in color of one or more teeth
  • Swollen gums
  • Chronic pain

If you experience one or more of these issues, please contact our office to schedule a consultation.

After 18 months of trying to find a dentist for my son, age 19, with autism, I have been truly blessed to find the most patient, kind, and respectful office staff in a very long time. Thank you for a fantastic patient experience. Truly a blessing.

Absolutely fantastic!! I had an emergency, and Dr. Platt was able to see me within 90 minutes. He was able to extract the tooth right there. All the staff were friendly and provided excellent service. He is now my new dentist.

Dr. Ryan Platt was absolutely amazing! My daughter was seen by him instead of her regular dentist because he was on vacation, and he got her in right away and took care of her better than I could have imagined! She is only seven and had to get a tooth pulled right away. The fear in my daughter and myself took over, but Dr. Platt assured us both and cared for her with flying colors.

After having cancer in my jaw, I was very scared to see a dentist. Dr. Platt was incredible and made me feel like we were in this together. He heard me (and my fears) and gave me so many options that together, we could find a plan I was comfortable with. He is the first dentist I’ve gone to in 46 years, and it didn’t hurt, and for me, that’s huge! He’s allowed me to not be ashamed of my smile.

Very friendly office staff. Dr. Platt is personable and knowledgeable. My hygienist, Bonnie, was extremely gentle, proficient, and kind. I knew I was getting great care, and Bonnie took the time to hand scale and measure each tooth.

What a great dental practice! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! Each room has a view of the beautiful botanical garden, which is stunning and relaxing. My dental hygienist, “Bonnie,” was so friendly and informative about my cleaning procedure. Dr. Platt is a warm and caring dentist who made me feel comfortable and welcome! I highly recommend this dental practice!

It was the best dental visit I’ve had. I almost went to sleep in the chair after getting a cavity fixed and having crowns put in. There was NO PAIN AT ALL! I definitely recommend their services. Dr. Ryan, Kashel, and all of the staff were great!
