If you’re experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, a root canal may be the solution to relieve discomfort and save your tooth. At Fort Myers Dental Arts, we offer precise, pain-relieving root canal therapy using modern techniques and advanced technology. Our compassionate team ensures a smooth experience from diagnosis to recovery.
Serving Fort Myers, Cypress Lake, Villas, Whiskey Creek, and surrounding areas.
A root canal is a procedure used to treat an infected or severely damaged tooth. Instead of extracting the tooth, we carefully clean out the infected pulp (inner tissue), disinfect the space, and seal the tooth with a strong filling or crown. This preserves your natural tooth and prevents the need for removal or replacement.
Early treatment can save your tooth and prevent the infection from spreading.
We make root canal therapy straightforward, comfortable, and stress-free:
We use digital X-rays and cone beam CT imaging to evaluate the extent of the infection.
The area is numbed completely to ensure a pain-free experience.
We gently remove the infected pulp and clean the canals with advanced tools.
The space is sealed with a durable material to prevent reinfection.
A crown or filling is placed to restore strength and function.
