Root canals are a reliable way to save natural teeth that have been damaged by deep decay, trauma or infection. At Magnolia Implants & General Dentistry, our dentist and team are committed to providing this treatment with exceptional care, using advanced techniques that help protect your smile and make the process as comfortable as possible. We believe that preserving your natural teeth is always the best option whenever possible, and root canal therapy allows us to do just that.
Why a Root Canal May Be Needed
When harmful bacteria reach the inner pulp of a tooth, infection can spread quickly, causing pain, swelling and sensitivity. Without treatment, the infection may lead to abscesses or the loss of the tooth. Root canals are not only about saving the tooth—they also protect your overall oral health. By keeping your natural tooth in place, the surrounding teeth remain aligned, your bite stays balanced and you avoid more invasive replacement treatments.
Benefits of root canal therapy include:
- Preserving the strength and structure of your natural tooth
- Relieving pain and eliminating infection
- Preventing the need for tooth extraction
- Restoring function for comfortable chewing and speaking
- Protecting surrounding teeth and jaw alignment

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canal Therapy
Can a root canal fail?
While root canal therapy is highly successful, in rare cases a tooth may require retreatment if bacteria re-enter the area. We advise coming in for your regular checkup to help prolong your root canal.
Is there an alternative to a root canal?
The only true alternative is extraction, which would then require a replacement option to restore function and appearance. Saving the natural tooth is generally the healthiest choice.
Will my tooth look different after treatment?
A restoration is placed after a root canal to strengthen and protect the tooth. This restoration is custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
How soon should I get a root canal after diagnosis?
Prompt treatment is important to stop the infection from spreading. Delaying can increase the risk of complications and reduce the likelihood of saving the tooth.
