End Infection & Preserve Your Tooth

A root canal can save a badly infected or damaged tooth. However, it’s not as intimidating as movies and TV would like you to think. At Loftus Family Dental, Dr. Loftus will treat your tooth with minimal disruption to your surrounding dental structure. Here is what you can expect:

  • Precise Diagnostics – We start with advanced imaging technology to identify infection and plan your treatment.
  • Comfort First – Before we begin, we ensure you’re fully numb. Sedation options are also available based on your preferences and anxiety level.
  • Gentle Cleaning – Using specialized equipment, Dr. Loftus will remove the infected pulp from inside the tooth. Then, he’ll carefully clean the root canals.
  • Sealing and Protection – Once clean, we seal the space with a special material called gutta percha to prevent reinfection.
  • Same-Day Crowns – When needed, your custom crown can be created in-house. Dr. Loftus can place it on the same day to restore strength immediately.

We don’t just treat the infection. Our team helps you prevent it from coming back. You’ll receive tips on how to care for your treated tooth at home. Plus, Dr. Loftus monitors it closely during checkups. With regular cleanings and personalized care, we help ensure your restored tooth stays healthy and strong.
