🩺 Root Canal Treatment

Save your natural tooth and eliminate pain — root canals are far more comfortable than you think.

Root canal treatment gets an unfair reputation. Modern root canals are no more uncomfortable than getting a filling, and they save teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. At De Anza Smiles, Dr. Saboowala uses gentle techniques and precise instruments to make the experience as comfortable and efficient as possible.

What We Offer

Root Canal Therapy

Removal of infected or inflamed tooth pulp, thorough cleaning of the root canals, and sealing to prevent re-infection — all under local anesthesia.

Crown Placement

After a root canal, we typically place a crown to protect and restore the treated tooth to full strength and function.

Retreatment

If a previously treated tooth becomes re-infected, we can perform retreatment to resolve the infection and preserve the tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a root canal hurt?
No. We use local anesthesia to numb the area completely before starting. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is — it's often no worse than a filling.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common signs include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling or tenderness in the gums near a tooth, or a persistent pimple on the gums. Call us to evaluate.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients return to normal activities the next day. Some mild tenderness for a few days after is normal and managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
