Root Canal Therapy

When severe tooth pain, deep decay, or infection threatens the health of your natural tooth, root canal therapy is often the best solution to eliminate pain and prevent extraction. At Syrpes & Pangborn Endodontic Group, we specialize in advanced root canal procedures using state-of-the-art technology to ensure precise, efficient, and pain-conscious treatment.

If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a deep cavity, our endodontic specialists in Centennial and Parker, CO can provide expert care to restore your tooth’s health and function.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal procedure is a minimally invasive treatment designed to remove infection, relieve tooth pain, and preserve your natural tooth. The process involves:

1. Removing the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth
2. Cleaning and disinfecting the root canal space
3. Sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection
4. Placing a crown or restoration for long-term durability

Contrary to common misconceptions, modern root canals are more comfortable and highly effective than ever before, thanks to endodontics and advanced anesthesia techniques.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

A tooth infection or nerve damage may not always be obvious. However, certain symptoms indicate that a root canal may be necessary:

• Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
• Pain while chewing or biting
• Swelling in the gums near a tooth
• Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
• A recurring pimple-like bump on the gums

Ignoring these symptoms can lead to worsening infection, abscesses, and potential tooth loss. Seeking timely endodontic diagnosis and treatment can help preserve your natural smile.

Advanced Technology for Precise & Comfortable Root Canals

At Syrpes & Pangborn Endodontic Group, we use the latest endodontic techniques to make root canal therapy as efficient and comfortable as possible.

Our laser-assisted dentistry technology enhances precision by ensuring thorough cleaning and sealing of the root canals, significantly reducing the risk of reinfection and improving long-term success. To further refine accuracy, we utilize 3D CBCT imaging, which provides a highly detailed view of the tooth’s structure, allowing for more precise treatment planning and better overall outcomes compared to standard X-rays. By incorporating modern instruments and minimally invasive techniques, we minimize discomfort, promote faster healing, and preserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.

What to Expect During a Root Canal Procedure

Our endodontic specialists focus on making your root canal as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Before the procedure, we will discuss sedation options and ensure your comfort with advanced anesthesia techniques. The treatment typically takes one visits, depending on the complexity of the case. After the root canal, we will provide aftercare instructions and will recommend a crown or restoration for finalization.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort following the procedure, and any post-treatment soreness typically subsides within a few days.

Root Canal Retreatment

In some cases, a previously treated tooth may not heal properly or become reinfected. A retreatment root canal allows us to reopen the tooth, clean out any remaining infection, and reseal it for long-term success. Our team has extensive experience in correcting failed root canals with the latest endodontic procedures.
