A root canal is one of the most important ways to save your natural tooth when an infection has gotten too big or a tooth has cracked. At Thrive Dental and Orthodontics, conveniently located on the corner of Forest Lane and Preston Road right across the street from Whole Foods, our highly trained dentists take their time to make sure you get the best treatment—comfortably.
A tooth infection doesn’t stay put. If a root canal isn’t done soon enough, the infection can spread beyond the tooth into the jaw and face—and at that point it can become a true medical emergency. If you’re in pain or have swelling right now, our emergency dentists can often see you the same day.
Front teeth deserve quick attention too. If you hurt a front tooth and don’t get it looked at, the nerve inside can die and the tooth can turn black and become extremely discolored. Treating it early protects both your health and your smile—and if discoloration has already set in, our cosmetic dentists and teeth whitening options can help restore its color.
The American Association of Endodontists’ guide to root canal treatment is a great place to learn more about how the procedure saves your tooth.
Root canals have an unfair reputation. With modern techniques and our highly trained North Dallas dentists, most patients say the procedure feels similar to getting a filling. Nervous about your visit? Ask about laughing gas (nitrous oxide) to help you relax and stay comfortable. We never rush—we take our time to make sure you get the best treatment possible.
And during your procedure, you can watch your favorite show in your own private room—complete with Netflix, a pillow, and a blanket—knowing you have the best doctors working on you.
After a root canal, the treated tooth usually needs a dental crown to protect it and restore full strength. If a tooth is too far gone to save, we’ll tell you honestly and walk you through tooth extraction and replacement options instead—always your choice, never pressure. Regular dental cleanings and checkups help catch decay early, before a root canal is ever needed.
Root canals are typically covered in part by PPO dental insurance plans, and we work to maximize your benefits so you pay the least amount possible. No insurance? Our dental discount plan and extended payment plans through Cherry financing keep treatment affordable.
Our office at 6031 Forest Ln proudly serves families across North Dallas, including Highland Park, University Park, Lake Highlands, and Walnut Hill.
