Root canal treatment in Carson City, NV

A root canal, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth. After the pulp is removed, the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection.

Root canals today are far from the painful procedures people once feared, and maintaining good oral health is a top priority to prevent such issues. With modern anesthesia, bioceramic sealers, and same-day technology, our dentists make the experience comfortable while preserving the natural tooth.

Causes of root canal treatment

• Severe tooth decay, including deep decay that extends into the pulp
• Cracked or chipped teeth exposing nerves
• Abscesses or infections at the root of the tooth
• Trauma to the tooth leading to pulp damage

Symptoms that may require root canal care

• Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
• Sensitivity to hot or cold
• Swelling of the gums or face
• Pus or abscess near the tooth
• Discoloration of the affected tooth

Benefits of root canal treatment

• Relieves severe tooth pain
• Saves natural teeth instead of tooth extraction
• Prevents the spread of infection
• Restores chewing and normal tooth function
• Preserves smile aesthetics with crowns placed after treatment

Comfort and pain-free care

AtHarmony Family Dentistry, every root canal is performed under local anesthesia using a variety of anesthetic options by our skilled endodontist. This ensures patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. Our dentists are gentle and experienced in making patients feel at ease.

Advanced technology with bioceramic sealers

We use bioceramic sealers to finish root canals. These sealers are biocompatible, durable, and help the tooth heal naturally. They provide long-term protection against reinfection and are safer than many traditional materials.

Emergency root canal care

Some root canals cannot wait. That is why our practice offers same-day emergency appointments for patients who experience:

• Severe toothache that does not subside
• Facial or gum swelling near the tooth
• Sensitivity to extreme temperatures
• Abscesses with pus or bad taste in the mouth

We provide palliative care immediately, followed by a full root canal procedure to save the tooth.

Root canal treatment with CEREC crowns

In many cases, the treated tooth is restored with a same-day ceramic crown using CEREC technology. This protects the tooth, restores natural appearance, and eliminates the need for multiple visits.
