Endodontic Therapy in Alexandria, VA
What Is Endodontic Therapy?
Endodontic therapy, commonly called root canal treatment, is a dental procedure that saves and restores a severely damaged or infected tooth. This specialized therapy aims to eliminate tooth pain, preserve the natural tooth structure, and prevent the need for tooth extraction.
Endodontic therapy involves carefully removing the infected or damaged pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth. Our skilled dentist in Alexandria, VA, will carefully clean and disinfect the root canals, then fill them with a biocompatible gutta-percha material. Finally, a dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to strengthen and protect it, ensuring long-lasting results.

Things Endodontic Therapy Can Fix
Tooth Infections
Endodontic therapy is primarily used to treat infected teeth. When a tooth becomes decayed or injured, bacteria can penetrate the pulp, leading to infection. Endodontic therapy eliminates the infection, relieves pain, and saves the natural tooth from extraction.
