Root Canals

Contrary to popular belief, a root canal is a comfortable and conservative therapy – and one that may save your tooth from extraction. In fact, root canals restore and save an estimated 17 million teeth each year! So, if you value your smile, don't fear a root canal.

The canals that branch off from the pulp, or nerve, of a tooth become susceptible to infection when they sustain damage from a deep cavity, fracture, or other trauma. Left untreated, the pulp may die, which can result in acute pain and pressure and – ultimately – tooth, gum, and bone loss.

At Stephanie K Dentistry, Dr. Kethcart will use modern tools and techniques to make your root canal a comfortable and positive experience. She'll clean out the infected matter, fill the canals with a biocompatible substance, and mount a custom crown. You'll have a strong, healthy tooth and a rejuvenated smile.

Call Stephanie K Dentistry today to schedule your appointment with Dr. Kethcart. Our Phoenix office gives families in Scottsdale, Glendale, Paradise Valley, and surrounding areas personalized service and outstanding care.
