Lingering Tooth Pain?

The Problem With Your Toothache
A toothache is almost always a sign that infection has damaged the pulp within your tooth root. This can result from a severe crack, injury, or extreme decay that has reached the inside of the tooth. Without treatment, infection will continue causing pain, can lead to an abscess, and in worst cases requires tooth extraction. If you're experiencing severe toothache, we have a solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy removes infected pulp from inside your tooth root to eliminate pain and save your natural tooth.
The procedure involves cleaning out infection, disinfecting the canal, filling it, and sealing the tooth to prevent future infection.

How Root Canals Save Teeth

At Arvada Dental Center & Implants, we diagnose root canal issues and coordinate your treatment with our trusted endodontic partner. Once your root canal is complete, we restore your tooth with a custom CEREC crown milled in just one hour. You receive expert specialist care with the convenience of returning to our office for your final restoration.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy eliminates your toothache and saves your natural tooth. You can expect these benefits from treatment:

  • Preserved Natural Tooth: Saves your tooth and avoids the need for extraction and replacement.

  • Resolved Toothache: Eliminates infection and the severe pain it causes immediately.

  • Restored Function: Allows you to bite and chew normally without pain or sensitivity.

  • Improved Aesthetics: With a crown, your tooth looks and functions like a natural, healthy tooth.

With proper care and a dental crown, a root canal treated tooth can last a lifetime.

Same-Day Crown at Arvada Dental Center & Implants

Once your root canal is complete, you return to our office where we restore your tooth with a custom CEREC crown milled in just one hour. No temporary crown needed.

Am I a Candidate for Root Canal Therapy?

You may need a root canal if you have severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting, swollen gums, or a darkened tooth. These symptoms indicate infection has reached the tooth's pulp.
Dr. Bennett will examine your tooth and take X-rays to confirm infection and determine if root canal therapy can save the tooth. In some cases, extraction may be the only option.

Recovery After Root Canal Therapy

You may experience mild soreness for a few days after treatment. This is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until your permanent crown is placed. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.

Flexible Financing for Root Canal Therapy

Most dental insurance plans cover 50 to 80 percent of root canal therapy as it is a necessary restorative procedure. We verify your benefits and help maximize coverage. We offer flexible financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and other providers. Membership club members receive exclusive discounts.
