Root Canal Treatment at Avenue Dental
Root Canal Treatment Designed to Save Teeth
At Avenue Dental, we understand that tooth pain can be debilitating and affect your daily life. A root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure designed to save a tooth that has been severely damaged by decay, infection, or trauma. By removing the infected nerve and restoring the tooth, a root canal allows you to maintain your natural smile and avoid the need for extraction.

What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a procedure that involves removing the damaged or infected nerve from the inside of a tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing the space to prevent further infection. This treatment addresses pain and preserves the structure of your tooth, allowing you to chew and speak comfortably.
Why is a Crown Recommended After a Root Canal?
Following a root canal, the tooth becomes non-vital, meaning it no longer has a living nerve. Over time, this can cause the tooth to become brittle and more prone to cracking or breaking. A dental crown is often recommended as a protective measure to:
- Strengthen the tooth and prevent it from cracking.
- Restore the tooth’s natural shape and function.
- Provide long-term durability and protection.
Without a crown, there is a higher risk of the tooth cracking below the gumline, which may make it irreparable and require extraction.
Cost of a Root Canal
The cost of a root canal depends on several factors, including:
- The number of canals in the tooth. Front teeth typically have one canal, while back molars may have three or more.
- The complexity of the case and any additional procedures, such as x-rays or follow-up care.
At Avenue Dental, we are committed to providing transparent pricing and will discuss the full cost of your treatment during your consultation. To make your care more accessible, we offer flexible payment plans, allowing you to manage the cost over time.
