Root Canal Therapy in Kirkland, WA
Severe toothache or sensitivity? A gentle, modern root canal can relieve pain fast and save your natural tooth — usually in a single visit.
Why Choose Root Canal Treatment
Fast Pain Relief
Removes the infected nerve tissue causing throbbing pain and temperature sensitivity.
Save Your Tooth
Preserves your natural tooth structure and bite — avoiding extraction whenever possible.
Modern, Gentle Approach
Local anesthesia, careful technique, and calming communication at every step.
What to Expect
We ensure the area is thoroughly numb and you’re comfortable to begin.
Infection is gently removed and the inside of the root is shaped and disinfected.
Canals are sealed to prevent reinfection. A temporary or permanent filling is placed.
Back teeth often need a crown to strengthen and protect after treatment.
Clear Diagnosis & Planning
We review your X-rays together, explain options, and answer questions before any treatment starts.
