What Is the Worst Part of a Root Canal?

Putting It Off!

If you have been putting off a root canal because you thought it would be too painful or expensive, call Dr. Charles Beier at 928-472-9303 for pain-free, affordable relief.

Why Do You Need a Root Canal?

Root canals are necessary when the pulp layer of a tooth becomes infected. Infection can lead to the loss of a tooth so it is necessary to remove the infection with root canal therapy. The procedure is generally comfortable and saves the natural tooth, prevents the spread of infection, and returns the smile to complete health.

"I went to Dr Beier because of pain after a root canal. After a complete assessment he discovered that under the crown there was a piece of broken tooth, which was causing a great deal of pain. I think he is the best dentist I've ever been blessed with. Love the guy."

Top Three Root Canal Myths – Busted!

The root canal has gotten a lot of bad press over the years. In fact, most people make many assumptions about this endodontic service based on antiquated beliefs and societal myths. Take a look at the following misconceptions, and discover just how beneficial a root canal can be.

Myth #1: A Root Canal Will Be Painful

Thanks to advanced dentistry techniques and tools, we can make your root canal a painless experience. The only pain that you will feel is any pain that comes from the tooth and nerve before you have the root canal.

Myth #2: I Can Get By Without a Root Canal

Eventually, your tooth nerve may die to the point where you no longer feel pain, but make no mistake: You still need a root canal. Without a root canal, you will begin to experience rapid tooth decay. People who avoid root canals are at risk of losing their teeth, as well as developing other problems.

Myth #3: Root Canals Cost a Lot of Money

You might be surprised to learn that many dental insurance carriers cover all or a portion of a root canal. Of course, if you have to pay for this treatment out-of-pocket, we offer many financial options to ensure that you can get the procedures you require.

What Happens After Your Root Canal?

After you have undergone root canal surgery, your tooth will be filled to fill in the decayed, damaged areas that have been removed. Some people do not like the way their tooth looks, as it can still have a slightly off-color or gray tone. Therefore, many patients of Dr. Beier opt to have crowns placed over the tooth.

The dental crown is made in-house using our incredibly precise and fast CEREC® machine. After the crown is produced, it is permanently bonded over the tooth. When a root canal is handled correctly, the tooth remains strong enough to stay in place, making it the perfect post for a dental crown.
