Root Canals
Save your natural tooth and relieve pain—comfortably and effectively.
If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain or sensitivity, you may need a root canal—a common and highly effective procedure that can save your natural tooth and prevent the need for extraction. At Sherman Oaks Dentistry, we perform root canal therapy with advanced technology and a gentle touch, ensuring your experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Our goal is to eliminate discomfort, stop infection, and restore your tooth’s function—all while helping you feel at ease every step of the way.

Treatment Process
At Sherman Oaks Dentistry, we prioritize patient comfort and successful outcomes with every root canal:
Comprehensive Evaluation
We use digital X-rays and clinical exams to assess the extent of infection or damage.
Comfortable Anesthesia
Once the tooth is disinfected, it’s sealed and typically restored with a dental crown for strength and protection.
Removal of Infected Pulp
We carefully clean out the infected tissue from inside the tooth’s root canals.
Sealing & Restoration
Once the tooth is disinfected, it’s sealed and typically restored with a dental crown for strength and protection.
