Root Canals
Stop the toothache and save your tooth. Dr. Sista performs gentle root canal therapy to eliminate infection.
A root canal treats an infected or inflamed tooth from the inside. We gently remove the irritated tissue, clean and seal the tooth, and help you keep your natural smile instead of losing the tooth. A root canal is often needed when deep decay reaches the nerve, or a crack or break exposes it — that's when sensitivity can turn into lingering pain. By removing the infected tissue inside the tooth and sealing it, we stop the infection and protect the tooth long-term.
