What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a restorative dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue (pulp) from inside the tooth. After cleaning and disinfecting the canal, it’s sealed with a filling material and restored with a crown for strength and protection.
Root canals are one of the best ways to:
-
Stop pain caused by deep decay or infection
-
Prevent the spread of bacteria to other teeth
-
Preserve your natural tooth structure
-
Avoid costly extractions and implants
Thanks to modern technology and gentle anesthesia, root canal treatment is virtually pain-free and can often be completed in a single visit.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
If you experience any of the following, contact our Glendale dental office immediately:
-
Persistent toothache or pressure
-
Sensitivity to hot or cold
-
Swelling or tenderness in gums
-
Dark discoloration of the tooth
-
A small pimple or bump on the gum
Early treatment helps prevent the need for extraction and ensures a faster recovery.
Our Root Canal Process
At Aghbashian Dental, we take pride in making every step comfortable and transparent:
-
Comprehensive Exam & Digital X-Rays — We identify the source of infection and plan your personalized treatment.
-
Local Anesthesia or Sedation Options — You’ll be fully numb and relaxed during the procedure.
-
Cleaning & Shaping the Canal — Dr. Aghbashian gently removes the infected pulp and disinfects the canal using rotary endodontic tools.
-
Filling & Sealing the Tooth — A biocompatible material is placed to prevent reinfection.
-
Restoration Placement — A custom crown restores your tooth’s natural strength and appearance.
Most root canals can be completed in a single appointment, saving you time and discomfort.
Root Canal vs. Tooth Extraction
- Tooth Extraction: Removes the tooth entirely. Often less expensive upfront, but usually requires a follow-up implant, bridge, or partial denture to prevent shifting teeth and bone loss — adding cost and time in the long run.
- Root Canal: Saves your natural tooth, preserves your bite and jawbone structure, and typically costs less overall than extraction plus replacement.
Dr. Aghbashian will always try to save your natural tooth first, and will only recommend extraction when a root canal isn't a viable option.
When You Might Need a Specialist Endodontist Instead
Most root canals — including retreatments on front and premolar teeth — can be completed comfortably at our Glendale office. In rare cases involving unusually complex canal anatomy, a failed prior root canal, or molars with curved or calcified canals, Dr. Aghbashian may refer you to a board-certified endodontist for specialized microscope-assisted treatment. We'll always tell you honestly if that's the better option for your case, and coordinate the referral so your care stays seamless.
