What is Root Canal Treatment

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a restorative procedure that removes infected or damaged tissue from inside your tooth. When decay or injury reaches the tooth’s pulp, the soft inner layer containing nerves and blood vessels, infection can develop and cause significant pain. During treatment, Dr. Irvani carefully cleans the interior chamber, disinfects the area, and seals the tooth to prevent further problems. The procedure has a reputation far worse than the reality, and most patients find it no harder than a filling. A crown usually follows to protect the tooth afterward.

The Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Eliminates Pain

Removing the infected pulp resolves the toothache at its source rather than managing the symptoms indefinitely over the long term ahead of you and across all of the.

Tooth Saved

Treatment preserves the natural tooth you thought was lost, which beats extraction and replacement every time over the long term ahead of you and across all of the.

Stops Infection

Cleaning and sealing the chamber prevents the infection from spreading into the bone or the neighboring teeth over the long term ahead of you and across all of the many.

Comfortable Treatment

Gentle techniques and advanced technology make the procedure far easier than its reputation would suggest over the long term ahead of you and across all of the many.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Notice any of these? Schedule a visit — early care is easier care.

Severe Pain

Tooth pain has become severe enough to disrupt your daily life, and medication no longer touches it, and it has continued that way for some time.

Lingering Sensitivity

Sensitivity to hot or cold lingers long after the food or drink has left your mouth entirely, and it has continued that way for some time now.

Tooth Discoloration

A single tooth has darkened compared with its neighbors, which can signal a dying nerve inside, and it has continued that way for some time now.

Gum Swelling

Swelling or tenderness has developed in the gum near a particular tooth without any other cause, and it has continued that way for some time now.

I am one of the most satisfied patient of Mr. iravani among thousand of his patients . I was his patient since 2013 and he has done one implant for me and one root canal and one bonding. He is not just a dentist. He is both dentist and artist since his work is an art. He is honest and knowledgeable. I never, ever go to any other dentist. Just I go to Dr.iravani for my dental. And today I visit his office for dental cleaning. Than you Dr. Iravani.

I can’t recommend Dr Irvani enough. My regular dentist was out of town and I was in so much pain on a Sunday. His website has a phone number for after hours emergencies. I texted him and within minutes he got back to me and was able to help. He came into the office straight from a plane and got me out of pain for the night til I could get a root canal the next day. He personally checked in with me to see how I was doing multiple times, answered my questions right away. I’m so thankful I found him.

I needed a root canal and a crown replacement. Dr Irvani and his team squeezed me in and took very good care of me. No more pain! He has been my dentist for about 5 years. He's great. He doesn't upsell or find things unlike my previous dentist. He's great.

Dr.Irvani has a wonderful bedside manner and is patient and understanding. I am a very nervous person when going to the dentist and he is very compassionate on how I feel during any procedure. I have had root canals, filings and an implant with him and all of those visit were exceptional. He gives the best shots as well- don’t even feel them.

Dr. Irvani is a rare gem. I cannot imagine going anywhere else for my dental work. I have had such an incredible experience each and every time regardless of the type of app. When you think you're only half way done with your root-canal; you're actually done! His work is always painless, and more than efficient. All of the staff are friendly and make you feel comfortable also.
