Dr. Rodriguez at Delight Dental Smiles offers effective root canal treatment in Coral Springs, Florida. The procedure is performed under the influence of local anesthesia so that you do not feel any pain or discomfort.

How Does The Root Canal Treatment Work?

  1. Extirpation is where small files are used to perform an initial cleaning of the root canal to remove the nerve, control infection, and medicate the tooth.
  2. Instrumentation is a detailed cleaning of the root canal to control bacteria and free tooth pain.
  3. Obturation is the process performed when the tooth is pain-free. The root canals are filled with special gutta-percha materials to seal them to complete the root canal treatment. Usually, the root canal takes 30-60 minutes.
