Root Canal Therapy in PASADENA
Relieve pain, save your natural tooth, and restore your oral health.
What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a restorative dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has been badly damaged by deep decay, infection, or trauma. Inside each tooth is soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels.
When this pulp becomes infected, it can cause severe pain and put the tooth at risk of loss. A root canal gently removes the infected tissue, cleans and disinfects the root canal space, and seals the tooth to prevent future infection. Once treated, the tooth is restored with a crown for strength and function.

The cost of a root canal typically ranges from $900 to $1,300 per tooth, depending on the tooth’s location and complexity. We’ll provide a detailed estimate during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect before treatment begins.
Thanks to modern techniques and effective anesthesia, most patients experience minimal discomfort. In fact, many find it comparable to having a filling. Our goal is to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Signs that you may need a root canal include severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to temperature, and visible swelling in the gums. Darkening of the tooth can also indicate damage. If you notice these symptoms, it's important to consult with us.
Typically, a root canal can be completed in a single visit. However, more complex cases may require a follow-up appointment. We will provide a clear timeline during your consultation.
After the procedure, your tooth will be restored, usually with a crown, to ensure its strength. This restoration helps prevent future fractures. Our team will guide you through the post-treatment care.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime. It's crucial to maintain good oral hygiene and follow our recommendations. Your dental health is our priority.
