When infection reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, root canal therapy offers a way to save it. At AAVO Dental, Dr. Shirin Fakhri performs gentle, precise root canal treatments that relieve pain, eliminate infection, and restore your tooth’s strength — often in just one or two visits.
Benefits
- Relieves pain and sensitivity
- Removes infection and saves natural teeth
- Prevents need for extraction or implants
- Restores full chewing function
- Provides long-lasting protection
What to Expect
Dr. Fakhri will first numb the area and access the infected pulp chamber. The damaged tissue is removed, and the canal is disinfected and sealed. A custom crown is often placed afterward to protect the treated tooth and restore its appearance.
Who It’s For
- Patients with deep decay or infection
- Those experiencing tooth pain, swelling, or temperature sensitivity
- Anyone seeking to preserve a natural tooth instead of extraction
FAQs
Is a root canal painful?
Modern root canals are nearly pain-free. We ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
Will I need a crown afterward?
In most cases, yes — it strengthens and protects your restored tooth.
How long does recovery take?
Mild soreness may last a few days, but most patients resume normal activity immediately.
Are antibiotics needed after?
Dr. Fakhri will prescribe them if infection risk remains, but often the treatment itself resolves it fully.
