Understanding Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a vital dental procedure aimed at saving a tooth that has been severely damaged by decay or infection. At Mesquite Dental & Implant Center, led by the esteemed Dr. George Varghese, we specialize in providing comprehensive, pain-free root canal treatments. Our state-of-the-art facility in Mesquite, TX, is equipped with the latest in dental technology to ensure every patient receives the highest standard of care.

The Step-by-Step Root Canal Procedure

The procedure begins with a thorough examination to diagnose the extent of the tooth damage. Following this, a local anesthetic is administered to ensure a pain-free experience. Dr. Varghese and his team then carefully remove the infected pulp, clean the inner chambers of the tooth, and seal it to prevent further infection. Our approach not only alleviates pain but also preserves your natural tooth, maintaining your smile's integrity.

Recovery and Aftercare Post-Root Canal

Post-treatment, patients can expect a brief recovery period. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth healing process, emphasizing the importance of oral hygiene and follow-up visits to monitor recovery.

Understanding the Cost and Coverage of Root Canal Therapy

We believe in transparent pricing and accept a wide range of insurance plans. For uninsured patients, we offer flexible payment options to ensure everyone has access to the care they need.
