Root Canals in Colorado Springs

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure designed to save a damaged or infected tooth. When decay or infection reaches the tooth's pulp, a root canal can:

  • Remove the infected tissue.
  • Eliminate pain and discomfort.
  • Prevent further tooth damage.
  • Restore the tooth's function and appearance.

At Crossroads Family Dentistry, we use modern techniques to make root canal therapy comfortable and stress-free. Learn more about our Restorative Dentistry services.

Symptoms You Might Need a Root Canal

You may require root canal treatment if you experience:

  • Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity.
  • Swelling or tenderness in your gums.
  • Discoloration or darkening of a tooth.
  • Abscesses or recurring pimples on the gums.

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, don’t delay. Visit our office at 5955 Dublin Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80923, conveniently located near Woodmen Heights Dublin North, Cimarron Hills, Cragmor, and Historic Uptown.

How Root Canal Therapy Works

Root canal treatment at Crossroads Family Dentistry is straightforward and effective:

  1. Diagnosis and Imaging: We’ll take X-rays to assess the damage.
  2. Removing Infected Tissue: The damaged pulp is carefully removed, and the area is cleaned and disinfected.
  3. Filling and Sealing: The tooth is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent further infection.
  4. Restoring the Tooth: In most cases, a crown is placed to strengthen and protect the tooth.
