Maintain Your Natural Smile With Root Canal Therapy in Havertown

A procedure that removes the infection and pulp from a significantly damaged or injured tooth, at Legendary Smiles in Havertown, we know that root canal therapy can help patients not only preserve their natural smiles, but protect their oral and overall health, as well. In addition to our standard root canal services, we also specialize in emergency root canal treatment, ensuring prompt care for urgent dental issues.

Is root canal therapy safe?

Root canal therapy is a safe and effective procedure that eradicates decay, infection, and pain. Once your tooth is thoroughly cleaned and filled with a special material that prevents further, it will be protected with either a filling or dental crown to restore function and beauty to your smile. Additionally, it's important to understand the stages of root resorption, a condition that can sometimes necessitate root canal treatment. Root resorption starts when the root structure of the tooth begins to break down internally or externally, potentially leading to tooth loss if not promptly addressed.
