Root canal treatment is performed to remove infected areas of the soft, inner section of the tooth, also known as the pulp. When these areas become infected, it can cause significant pain, and eventually death of the entire tooth. A root canal can allow for proper healing and further strengthening of the tooth.
Barrera Advanced Dentistry’s main focus is prevention, so we work to detect when root canal therapy is needed to stop an infection in its tracks — before it has the chance to spread through the bloodstream to the rest of the body. After treating the infection, Dr. Barrera will top off the tooth with a luminous, natural-looking dental crown.
If you're suffering from tooth pain, mouth pain, swollen gums, or a dental abscess, call our office right away to get the gentle root canal therapy you need! Dr. Barrera is proud to offer top root canal treatments in Torrance, CA and beyond, with comfortable treatments designed to restore optimal oral health. For patients who suffer from dental anxiety, we even offer safe oral conscious sedation services to make this procedure as painless as possible.
Do I Need A Root Canal?
If you're suffering from the following symptoms, Dr. Barrera will perform an assessment to determine if root canal therapy is right for you:
- Swollen, tender gums
- Tooth pain
- Tooth sensitivity
- Gum abscess
- Sharp pain when biting down or chewing
These symptoms often indicate decay in the pulp of the tooth that has resulted in an infection or abscess. Dr. Barrera will treat the infection using advanced tools and a gentle approach. She will then top off the affected the tooth with a custom-shaded natural-looking dental crown.
How Much Does A Root Canal Cost?
Out-of-pocket root canal costs will mostly depend on the terms of the dental insurance used. We aim to make it easier to finance your dental treatments by staying in-network with a selection of major dental insurance carriers.
For patients who are uninsured or need extra help financing their dental care, we work with third party lenders CareCredit® and Sunbit® to make both necessary and elective smile treatments treatments more affordable.
