Root Canal Therapy
Root Canal TherapyWhen the nerve, or pulp, within a tooth's canals is damaged, the tooth can die. This creates a risk for infection, pain, and major problems. If saving the tooth is an option, Dr. Boeyink will recommend root canal therapy.
After making sure you are completely comfortable with your anesthesia, Dr. Boeyink will carefully remove the damaged pulp from within your tooth. By replacing the pulp with manmade material, he will protect it from infection. To finish the procedure, Dr. Boeyink usually places a dental crown over the tooth.
A root canal can save your tooth from extraction, preserving your bite and eliminating the need for a false tooth. If you've been told that you need a root canal, call for a second opinion. Dr. Boeyink has helped patients from across Greenwood Village, Highlands Ranch, and Englewood preserve teeth with damaged nerves, and he can help you, too!
