Root Canal Treatment in san antonio

When tooth decay or injury reaches the inner pulp and root, root canal treatment is required to save the tooth. At Pristine Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in San Antonio, TX, our experienced dentists provide gentle, effective root canal procedures to help patients keep their natural smiles.

The soft pulp tissue inside each tooth contains nerves and blood vessels. If this area becomes infected due to deep cavities, cracks, or repetitive trauma, you may need a root canal. During treatment, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and sealed.

What Are the Benefits of Root Canal Treatment?

Root canals offer many advantages over tooth extraction:

  • Pain Relief – A root canal stops the pain of an infected or irritated pulp. Removing the source of inflammation brings quick relief.
  • Saving Natural Teeth – Rather than losing the tooth, a root canal saves your natural smile. A restored tooth can last a lifetime with proper care.
  • Prevention of Spread of Infection – Taking out diseased pulp tissue prevents the infection from spreading to surrounding teeth and tissues.
  • Restoring Normal Tooth Function – Once healed and restored with a crown, the tooth can operate like normal for chewing and biting.
  • Enhancing Overall Oral Health – Keeping your natural tooth through a root canal keeps your bite aligned and prevents bone loss in the area.
