Root Canal Therapy in Santa Clarita, California

Root Canal Therapy at Copper Canyon Dentistry

Root canal therapy removes infected or inflamed tissue inside a tooth, disinfects the space, and seals it to prevent reinfection. The result: pain relief and a strong tooth that continues to support your bite and smile.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

• Severe or lingering toothache Pain that throbs or wakes you at night. Often worsens with heat
• Sensitivity that lasts Hot or cold discomfort that doesn’t fade quickly.
• Swelling or a pimple on the gums Possible abscess or draining infection.
• Pain when chewing or biting Inflammation around the root tip.
• Darkened or cracked tooth History of trauma or deep decay.

What to Expect During Treatment

Most treatments feel similar to getting a filling and take about 60–90 minutes, depending on the tooth.

• Comfort First Local anesthesia (and sedation options when appropriate) keep you relaxed.
• Precise Cleaning Infected tissue is removed and canals are shaped and disinfected.
• Sealing & Protection Canals are filled with a biocompatible material; a crown is commonly recommended for strength. Same-day temporaries when needed
