At Fuller Smiles San Francisco, we offer root canal therapy as a vital treatment to save and restore teeth that have been severely decayed or infected. Our experienced dental team is dedicated to providing a procedure that is as comfortable and stress-free as possible, ensuring that you receive the care you need with minimal discomfort.
Our root canal therapy involves carefully removing the infected or damaged pulp from within the tooth, thoroughly cleaning the area, and sealing it with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. The treated tooth is then strengthened with a crown or filling, restoring its full function and appearance. At Fuller Smiles San Francisco, we use modern techniques and advanced anesthesia to ensure a smooth and pain-free experience throughout your treatment.
The primary goal of root canal therapy is to save your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction and the complications that can follow, such as misalignment and difficulties with chewing. By preserving your tooth, we help maintain the natural structure of your smile and the proper function of your bite, contributing to long-term oral health.
Recovery after a root canal is important, and at Fuller Smiles San Francisco, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to help you heal quickly and comfortably. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure, and with proper care, a tooth treated with a root canal can last a lifetime.
For expert root canal therapy that prioritizes your comfort and oral health, trust the team at Fuller Smiles San Francisco. We’re here to restore the health and vitality of your smile with compassionate and professional care.
