Removing the source of the pain, saving the tooth.
A root canal in Austin shouldn't mean a week of dread. Modern root canals feel like a long filling: the tooth is numbed completely, the infected nerve is removed, and the pain you walked in with is usually gone that day. We keep same-day slots because tooth infections don't book ahead — call 512-430-4472 if you're hurting now.
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. The treatment involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it.
A root canal becomes necessary when the tooth's pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated procedures, or a crack in the tooth.
The cost of root canal treatment can vary depending on the tooth involved and the insurance coverage you have. We offer transparent pricing and accept most insurance plans.
Root canal treatments are safe, with minimal long-term side effects when performed by experienced dentists. Proper care can ensure a lifetime of oral health.
Most back teeth need a crown after your root canal to protect the tooth long-term. Until it's securely placed, avoid hard or sticky foods on that side.
Delaying treatment can lead to severe infection, abscess formation, and even tooth loss.
While root canals are a standard dental procedure, maintaining good oral hygiene can reduce the need for such treatments.

Call 512-430-4472 →Common signs include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or discoloration of the tooth. A dental exam and X-rays can confirm the need for a root canal.
The procedure itself is done fully numb — most patients say the toothache before was far worse. Mild soreness for 2–3 days after is normal.
Front teeth typically run $700–$1,000; molars $1,000–$1,400, plus the crown. We quote in writing and offer payment plans.
Saving the tooth is almost always cheaper long-term — an extraction plus implant costs 2–3x a root canal plus crown. Some teeth aren't savable; we'll show you the x-ray either way.
