Root Canal Therapy in Las Vegas
When
Dr. Moore says you need a root canal, that's actually good news. It means the
tooth can be saved, instead of extracted.
The procedure is not painful, as you may have
heard. At Moore Family Dentistry we will numb the tooth so you won't feel any pain, and there is little
discomfort afterwards. Extracting the tooth would be less healthy and more
expensive.
Repairing the root canal is the way Dr. Moore can save the entire tooth. The other
alternative is to pull the tooth entirely. However, leaving that space
empty may create other problems, like making chewing and biting more
difficult. Teeth may also shift position if missing teeth are not
there to hold the space.
If you decide to have the dentist pull the tooth and replace it with a
denture or bridge, the cost will be significantly more than the cost of a
root canal at our office in Las Vegas.
