Root Canal Therapy in West New York, NJ
If you’re dealing with severe tooth pain, sensitivity, or infection, root canal therapy can provide fast relief and save your natural tooth. At Veda Family Dentistry, we make the process comfortable and stress-free with advanced techniques and compassionate care.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a restorative dental procedure that treats infection or inflammation inside the tooth’s pulp, the innermost layer. Instead of removing the tooth, we remove the damaged pulp, clean the root canals, and seal the space to prevent future infection.
This treatment not only relieves pain but also preserves the natural tooth structure, avoiding the need for extraction or implants.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
Persistent toothache or pressure
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
Swelling around the gums
Pimple-like bump on the gums (abscess)
Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an evaluation right away. Early treatment leads to better outcomes.
How the Root Canal Process Works
We begin with an exam and digital X-rays to assess the infection.
Local anesthesia ensures a completely numb, pain-free experience.
The infected pulp is gently removed from inside the tooth.
We disinfect and shape the canals using modern rotary instruments.
The canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed.
A temporary or permanent filling is placed, with a crown typically added later for full protection.
The entire procedure is typically completed in one to two visits, and most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Why Root Canals Are Worth It
Eliminate infection and tooth pain
Preserve your natural tooth
Prevent the need for extraction
Maintain your bite and alignment
Long-lasting results with proper care
Root canals have a 95 %+ success rate and can keep your tooth healthy for decades.
Aftercare and Recovery
You may feel mild soreness or sensitivity for a few days, which is manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule a follow-up to ensure proper healing and crown placement.
Good hygiene and regular checkups will help protect your restored tooth long-term.
