Through endodontic treatment, commonly known as root canal therapy, Dr. Monti Harpalani can repair severely decayed or damaged teeth to avoid having them extracted. Once an oral infection has reached the pulp of your tooth, your only options are root canal or extraction. An untreated infection can spread to healthy teeth and other parts of your body, putting your general health at risk. The main purpose of endodontic treatment is to eliminate oral infections and repair the damage in order to save compromised teeth. If you live in Houston, Texas, you can come to Vivid Dental for the endodontic treatment you need.
A visit to your Houston, Texas dentist can determine if you need root canal therapy. Before your diagnosis, you may experience some or all of the following oral infection symptoms:

Root canal treatment is performed under anesthesia so you are comfortable during your procedure. The process involves removing the diseased pulp and nerves from your infected tooth, cleaning out the canals and filling and sealing your tooth with gutta-percha material to keep it safe from future infection.
By eliminating the infection, Dr. Harpalani can save your tooth for future use. Once your tooth is cleansed, we’ll cap it with a dental crown to strengthen its weakened structure. Dental crowns also provide an extra layer of protection against future damage and decay.
Although you can replace lost teeth, no prosthetic is equal to your natural teeth. Saving natural teeth helps you maintain your smile, facilitates biting and chewing and preserves your oral and general health. You also avoid the expense and trouble of having to replace lost teeth in the future.
