Save Your Tooth, Save Your Smile.
Many people fear that a root canal will be painful, but at South Beach Dental, we focus on ensuring your comfort and alleviating any anxiety. The goal of root canal therapy is to save your natural tooth and prevent further issues. We use modern techniques to make the process as painless and efficient as possible, restoring your tooth to full functionality.
Root canal therapy is performed when the soft tissue inside your tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or inflamed. At South Beach Dental, we carefully remove the infected tissue, clean the interior of the tooth, and seal it to prevent future infections. By preserving your natural tooth, we avoid the complications that can arise from tooth loss, such as shifting teeth and jawbone deterioration.
Our highly trained dentists are skilled in minimizing discomfort and providing a stress-free experience. We use local anesthesia and offer a calm, reassuring environment to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the procedure. Following the root canal, we’ll place a custom crown on the tooth to restore its strength and appearance. South Beach Dental is committed to helping you keep your teeth healthy for life.

This Is What Our Clients Say
FAQs about Root Canal Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a root canal, and why is it necessary?
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to remove infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth. This treatment is necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, trauma, or deep cracks. If left untreated, the infection can spread, causing severe pain, abscess formation, and even tooth loss. Root canals save the natural tooth, prevent the need for extraction, and protect surrounding teeth from shifting or becoming damaged.
Is root canal therapy painful?
Thanks to advancements in dental technology and anesthesia, root canal therapy is no longer the painful experience it once was. Most patients report feeling little to no discomfort during the procedure itself. Any discomfort you experience afterward can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. At South Beach Dental, we prioritize your comfort and use gentle techniques to ensure a pain-free experience, helping you feel at ease before, during, and after your treatment.
How long does the root canal process take?
A root canal procedure usually takes about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case. In some instances, more than one visit may be necessary if the infection is severe. Our dental team will thoroughly explain the timeline and make sure your appointments are scheduled at times that are convenient for you. The goal at South Beach Dental is to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible while ensuring your long-term oral health.
What happens if I don’t get a root canal?
If an infected or damaged tooth is not treated with a root canal, the infection can spread, leading to an abscess, severe pain, swelling, and even tooth loss. Additionally, the infection can extend to other parts of the body, posing a risk to your overall health. Root canal therapy is a preventative measure to avoid these complications while preserving your tooth and maintaining the natural alignment of your smile.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases, a crown is recommended following a root canal to protect the treated tooth from further damage. The tooth can become brittle after the pulp is removed, and a crown provides added strength and durability. At South Beach Dental, we offer custom-fitted crowns that match the color and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and strong restoration.
How long do root canal results last?
With proper care and maintenance, a tooth treated with root canal therapy can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and taking care of the restored tooth with a crown are key to the longevity of your treatment. At South Beach Dental, we will guide you on the best practices to ensure your treated tooth stays healthy and strong for years to come.
How can I prevent needing a root canal?
Preventing the need for a root canal begins with maintaining good oral hygiene habits such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and attending regular dental check-ups. Avoiding trauma to the teeth and treating cavities early also reduces the likelihood of infection or severe decay. At South Beach Dental, we offer comprehensive dental care that helps you protect your teeth and avoid the need for extensive treatments like root canals.
What can I expect after the procedure?
After root canal therapy, it’s common to experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity for a few days. This can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. South Beach Dental provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. With proper care, your tooth should function normally, and any pain from the infection will be resolved.
Are there alternatives to root canal therapy?
The primary alternative to root canal therapy is tooth extraction, followed by replacement options like dental implants or bridges. However, extracting a tooth can lead to alignment issues and jawbone deterioration over time. Root canal therapy is often the best option to preserve your natural tooth and maintain your oral health. At South Beach Dental, we carefully assess each case to provide the best treatment plan for your needs.
How much does root canal therapy cost?
The cost of root canal therapy varies depending on the tooth being treated and the complexity of the case. At South Beach Dental, we offer transparent pricing and flexible payment plans to ensure that this essential treatment is accessible to all our patients. We will provide you with a detailed breakdown of costs and help you maximize any insurance benefits available to you.
