About Root Canal Treatment
Nearly 16 million root canal treatments are performed nationally each year. Progressive Endodontics provides comprehensive dental care for patients in need of root canal treatment or microsurgical procedures. Our dental specialists solely provide expert endodontic care and are trained to use state-of-the-art technology to make your visit as comfortable and accommodating as possible.
Root canal treatment can help save teeth by repairing badly damaged or infected areas instead of removing them. With the latest dental advances available in local anesthetics, most patients have little, if any, pain with treatment. In fact, it's probably more painful living with a decayed tooth.

FAQ
Is root canal treatment painful?
Root canal treatment does not cause pain, it relieves it. With modern technologies and advanced anesthetics techniques, root canal treatment is about as comfortable as having a filling done.
Why not just extract the tooth?
The very best option is to save your natural teeth. Root canal treatment, along with an appropriate restoration, is a cost-effective way to treat teeth with damaged pulps and is usually less expensive than extraction and placement of a bridge or a dental implant.
Why choose an endodontist?
Endodontists are dental specialists with an additional two or more years of specialized training beyond dental school. Because they limit their practice solely to endodontic treatment, endodontists are efficient and precise. This helps equate to an overall positive experience for the patient.
