Root Canal Therapy in Pleasanton & Sunnyvale, CA

Comfortable Relief from Tooth Pain Starts Here

With modern technology and a gentle touch, we make root canal treatment efficient, effective, and surprisingly comfortable—so you can save your natural tooth and smile with confidence.

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that treats infection or inflammation inside the tooth. When the pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth) becomes damaged due to decay, trauma, or deep fillings, a root canal removes the affected tissue to eliminate pain and prevent further infection—while keeping your natural tooth intact.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

  • Persistent toothache or sensitivity
  • Sharp pain when chewing or biting
  • Swollen or tender gums near a tooth
  • Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
  • A pimple-like bump on the gums (abscess)
  • Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait—early treatment can prevent the need for extraction.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

  • Stops infection and pain at the source
  • Saves your natural tooth
  • Prevents the need for extraction or implants
  • Restores full function and appearance
  • Quick recovery with long-term results

What’s Included in Root Canal Treatment

Comprehensive Diagnostics

We begin with digital X-rays and a gentle exam to assess the affected tooth and surrounding bone.

Root Canal Procedure

The infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned, shaped, and sealed to prevent reinfection.

Post & Crown Placement

To protect and restore the strength of your tooth, we place a custom crown—often with a supporting post for added stability.

A Gentle, Modern Approach

Forget the outdated reputation—today’s root canals are comfortable, low-stress, and typically completed in one to two visits. We use advanced techniques and local anesthesia to keep you relaxed and pain-free throughout the procedure.
