In-Office Expertise for Comfortable Treatment

Our experienced dentists provide root canal therapy in-house, so you won’t need to travel to a specialist. We prioritize your comfort at every step and use modern tools to ensure a precise, pain-free experience. From diagnosis to final restoration, your treatment is handled with skill and compassion.

A Safe, Effective Way to Treat Tooth Infection

Root canal therapy is used to remove infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside the tooth. Whether caused by decay, trauma, or a cracked tooth, this treatment can stop the spread of infection, ease your symptoms, and restore your oral health—without removing the tooth.

The Root Canal Therapy Process

Diagnosis & Imaging

We take digital X-rays to assess the tooth and confirm the presence of infection or inflammation.

Pulp Removal & Disinfection

A small opening is made in the tooth to access and remove the damaged pulp. The inner chamber is then cleaned and disinfected.

Filling the Canal

The cleaned space is filled with a biocompatible material to seal the tooth and prevent reinfection.

Restoration & Follow-Up

We restore your tooth with a custom crown or filling to protect it and restore function. We’ll also schedule follow-up care to ensure successful healing.

FAQs

Have questions? Find answers here.

Is a crown always needed after a root canal?

Molars and premolars typically require a crown for strength and durability. In some cases, front teeth may be restored with a filling.

What happens if I don’t get a root canal?

Delaying treatment can lead to spreading infection, bone loss, or even tooth loss. Early intervention helps preserve your natural tooth and avoid more complex treatment.

How long does a root canal take?

Most root canals can be completed in one to two visits, depending on the tooth’s condition and whether a crown is needed.

How do I know if I need a root canal?

Symptoms like persistent pain, swelling, darkening of the tooth, or sensitivity to heat/cold may signal the need for treatment. A consultation and X-ray will confirm the diagnosis.

Does a root canal hurt?

Modern root canals are no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. We use local anesthetic and offer sedation options to keep you relaxed throughout your visit.

Dr. Loosvelt and staff are the best dental staff I have ever experienced!! His calming demeanor and amazing music that he played while I was getting my teeth drilled were fantastic… The music was his own band and it made my mind get off the drilling. I will always come back here for my dental work.

A root canal shattered my front tooth and they had to pull it. I was beside myself. An oral surgeon pulled it and did bone grafting. One month before they were going to place the screw for my implant the oral surgeon called me and said there was complications and he couldn't do the work on my mouth.  I did my research and found Dr. Bill Dorfman! How BLESSED I am I found him. I flew to LA to have him to do the work he said he was confident he could do it! The whole team was patient with my concerns and tears. Dr.Dorfman is caring, gentle, and honest. He is not out to take your money. He is being conservative and only doing the necessary work my teeth need while listening to my desires. He is expensive but you are paying for the best! They work with you on financing too. I CANT recommend him enough! If I could give him 15 stars I would! Thank you Dr. Dorfman!!!
