It's necessary to have a root canal treatment when the inside of your tooth (the pulp) becomes inflamed or infected as a result of deep decay, repeated dental procedures, faulty crowns or a crack or chip in the tooth.

A root canal, also known as endodontic treatments, is a procedure in which the infected pulp of a tooth is removed, and the tooth is then disinfected and filled or sealed to prevent any further issues.
 
Dr. Smilovits has served the Cleveland area for over 30 years and has performed thousands of successful root canals. We aim to make the procedure quick and painless and will not only relieve your constant pain but will be able to save your tooth from having to be removed. A cracked tooth, deep decay, or a faulty crown may be the reason for your infection, and if left untreated will only worsen, resulting in the need for tooth extraction.

Something as simple as nerve damage beneath the tooth’s surface or prolonged sensitivity can mean a root canal is needed to prevent total tooth removal. Our dentists can recognize that a decaying or chipped tooth can be indicative of a larger problem. No matter what your health concern, Smilovits DDS can help. We provide a variety of dental services to meet your oral health needs including root canals.

How to Find a Great Dentist for Root Canals

Dentists performing a root canal must have the proper tools and a positive reputation for successfully completing complex dental procedures.

The most common fear among patients in need of a root canal is if the procedure will be painful. You need a dentist who will complete the procedure while making you as comfortable as possible.

A professional dental office will have anesthesia and other tools to ensure the root canal is as painless as possible. Smilovits DDS works to treat a root canal in as quick and comfortable a manner as possible. Advanced tools are needed to treat teeth and gums and root canals not only require the removal of infection but a fill and seal on the tooth to prevent further problems.

Your experienced dentist should be able to explain the care regimen following the procedure. Regular checkups to ensure fillings remain strong are necessary and teeth must be taken care of as the other parts of the mouth.

Our dentists used the most advanced tools to perform procedures and will move forward with a root canal only after it has been decided that it is the best course of treatment. Dentists should have a reputation of being reliable and professional either through word of mouth or through visible reviews. Smilovits DDS has many testimonials from satisfied patients who received quality service.
