Understanding the Root Canal Procedure
Root canals remove compromised tooth pulp to restore your tooth’s health and function. It often takes under 90 minutes for our experienced dentist to perform a root canal procedure in Miami. Here’s an overview of the process:
- Beginning with local anesthetic application, the dentist ensures your comfort.
- Subsequently, the dentist extracts the damaged or infected tooth pulp with precision.
- Next, the dentist meticulously cleans the tooth to eliminate any debris.
- Lastly, the tooth is filled to uphold its structural integrity and overall health.
The root canal process ends your dental pain while also rescuing your tooth. Treating the damaged pulp prevents worsening decay and can save your tooth from extraction.
When to See a Root Canal Specialist in Miami
Without proper intervention, tooth infections or decay only progress. Early on, we can use dental fillings to address minor issues. However, if the pulp issue progresses, then a dental filling isn’t enough. For those cases, we consider a root canal treatment in Miami, FL.

We Offer Endodontic Re-Treatment
Previous root canal gone bad? We’ll restore it with endodontic retreatment in Miami. If the infection did not heal properly, placement of the crown or other restoration was delayed, or new decay has formed, you may need endodontic retreatment in order to save your tooth.
Here’s how the endodontic re-treatment procedure works:
- The endodontist will reopen your tooth to gain access to the root canal filling material. Removal of restoration and filling material allows access to blocked canals.
- Then, the endodontist cleans the canals and carefully examines the inside of your tooth using magnification and illumination, searching for any additional canals or unusual anatomy that require treatment.
- Your endodontist will clean the canals, seal them, and place a filling in the tooth. If the canals are unusually narrow or blocked, your endodontist may recommend endodontic surgery.
- After your endodontist completes retreatment, you will need to return to your dentist as soon as possible to have a new crown or other restoration placed on the tooth
