Root Canal Therapy
Save Your Natural Tooth and Eliminate Pain
There is a common misconception that root canals are painful, but in reality, they are a highly effective treatment designed to relieve pain and save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted. At Lakota Premier Dental, we use advanced endodontic technology and gentle techniques to ensure your root canal therapy is as comfortable and stress-free as a routine filling.
When the pulp (the inner tissue) of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay or injury, a root canal is the best way to clear the infection and preserve your natural smile. Our priority is to restore your oral health and get you back to feeling your best.
Preserving your natural tooth is always our first choice. Here’s why we recommend this procedure
Pain Relief
Removes the infected tissue that causes severe sensitivity and throbbing aches.
Prevents Bone Loss
Stopping the infection at the source prevents it from spreading to the surrounding jawbone.
Efficient Chewing
Saving your natural tooth maintains your normal biting force and jaw alignment.
Natural Aesthetics
Once restored with a custom crown, your tooth looks and functions just like the ones around it.
Cost-Effective
Saving a tooth with a root canal is often more affordable than an extraction followed by an implant.
Root Canal FAQ
Common signs include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to heat and cold, swollen or tender gums, and darkening of the tooth. However, sometimes there are no symptoms, which is why regular X-rays are vital.
With modern anesthesia and numbing techniques, most patients feel no pain during the procedure. In fact, most people describe it as being no more uncomfortable than getting a standard filling.
After the root canal, the tooth is usually capped with a custom-made crown. This strengthens the tooth and protects it from future damage, allowing you to eat and smile with total confidence.
Most root canal treatments can be completed in just one or two visits, depending on the complexity of the tooth’s root structure.

This place is a lifesaver! They got me in on New Years Day when nobody else was open. I had a cracked tooth and was in a lot of pain and didn’t know what to do…they got me in that morning. Dr. Dawas and staff were extremely nice and friendly. He got me all fixed up quick and pain free. I would definitely recommend them!
