Root Canal Therapy
Modern, comfortable therapy that removes infected pulp and saves your natural tooth, often with same day CEREC crown placement.
A root canal removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, saving the natural tooth from extraction.
Dr. Mejia numbs the area, accesses the inner chamber of the tooth, removes the infected pulp, and cleans, shapes, and seals the inner canals.
Root canal therapy eliminates the source of pain and infection while preserving your natural tooth. A crown is typically placed afterward, often using same day CEREC technology.
