Save Your Tooth with Expert Root Canal Treatment

A root canal is a procedure designed to save a severely damaged or infected tooth by removing the infected tissue inside. Here’s what to expect during treatment:

Diagnosis & X-Rays: Your dentist examines the tooth and takes X-rays to assess the extent of the infection.

Numbing & Comfort: Local anesthesia is applied to ensure a painless procedure.

Cleaning & Infection Removal: The infected pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed, and the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

Filling & Sealing: The empty canals are filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection, then sealed to protect the tooth.

Restoration with a Crown: In most cases, a dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength and function.

Root canals help relieve pain, stop the spread of infection, and preserve your natural tooth for years to come. If you're experiencing severe tooth pain or sensitivity, contact us today for a consultation!

What Our Patients Are Saying

Testimonials

He has been my dentist for a few years now. I am so happy I switched from my previous dentist.

He is always very thorough, explains all the available options in detail, pointing out which procedures are absolutely necessary, and which are just nice to have.

Overall very happy with Dr. Rakita.

Absolutely amazing dentist and staff! I’ve always been weary of dentists, after some bad experiences, but he is awesome. Thorough, honest and genuinely kind. I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Vanessa Van Dyke

There are professionals who act nice because they have to - and then there are people like Dr. Rakita who are genuinely kind and caring.

I felt like I was seen as a person and not just a mouth. Dr Rakita explained things to me very clearly and patiently, and was not alarmist. I felt genuine warmth. The assistant was also very kind and patient.

Erez Zukerman

As someone with a lot of anxiety in day-to-day life going to the dentist is almost traumatic for me.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Rakita and his staff. Not only did he take his time to help me calm down and help me relax but he also explained everything in terms I could understand.

I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get a dentist.
