Root Canal Therapy in Fairfield, CT – Save Your Natural Tooth
Relieve Pain and Protect Your Smile
Root canal therapy is a gentle, effective way to treat infection inside a tooth while preserving your natural tooth structure. At the Center for Aesthetic & Comprehensive Dentistry, Dr. Joseph Owen performs root canal treatment with a focus on comfort, precision, and long-term health — so you can return to smiling, eating, and speaking without discomfort.
With today’s techniques and anesthesia, root canal therapy is no more uncomfortable than getting a standard filling.
When a Root Canal Is Needed
A root canal may be recommended if you experience:
- Persistent toothache or pain when chewing
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling of the gums or face
- A tooth that has darkened in color
- A pimple-like bump on the gums near the affected tooth
In many cases, root canal treatment can prevent the need for Tooth Extractions and preserve your natural bite.
Our Root Canal Process
- Examination & Diagnosis – We use advanced imaging to assess the tooth’s condition.
- Local Anesthesia – Ensures the area is fully numb and comfortable.
- Removal of Infected Tissue – The pulp inside the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected.
- Sealing the Tooth – The root canals are filled to prevent reinfection.
- Restoration – In most cases, the tooth is strengthened with a Dental Crown for long-term durability.
