A root canal is an endodontic procedure used to treat infection of the dental pulp at the center of a tooth. It involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning and disinfecting the area, filling in the cavity for protection, and then sealing it off. This type of treatment can be used to save teeth that have already been damaged due to decay or injury from further pain or tooth extraction. Root canal therapy is a common dental treatment, and we’ll be at your side during the entire process to ensure you’re able to preserve your natural teeth stress and worry-free.

When Do You Need a Root Canal?

A root canal may be necessary if you have deep decay, an abscessed tooth, or if a dental injury has caused damage to your tooth’s inner structures. Infection of the dental pulp is more common in teeth that have chipped or fractured, which may lead to the recommendation of root canal therapy as well. Root canal treatment helps protect and strengthen your remaining teeth by removing the infection and restoring it for better comfort, appearance, and function. Our experienced team will perform a thorough examination of your oral health with advanced imaging and digital X-rays before beginning to ensure that a root canal procedure is the best treatment to improve the health of your smile.

The Root Canal Procedure

You can trust our team to perform root canal treatments with your comfort at the forefront. We understand that the thought of undergoing a root canal can be intimidating but we strive to make this process as easy and stress-free for you as possible. During the treatment, the damaged or decayed pulp is removed from inside your tooth before the area is disinfected. Next, the inner cavity is replaced with a rubber-like material to prevent infection. To finish, the area is sealed and a dental crown is placed on top of the tooth to protect it from further damage or decay. Afterward, you can expect minimal discomfort during your recovery time. The root canal treatment process typically takes one to two office visits and varies depending on the severity of each case.

patients have to say

"My kids and I have been patients of Dr. Dinh at Lake Olympia Dentist, and we couldn't be happier with the care we receive. Dr. Dinh and the entire staff are always professional, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we walk in the door.

They do an excellent job making my children feel comfortable and at ease during their appointments, which is something every parent appreciates. Dr. Dinh takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers questions thoroughly, and genuinely cares about his patients' dental health."

Roneisha Trimble

"I recently visited Dr Dihn’s dental office as a new patient and was very pleased with my experience. His staff was welcoming and professional throughout my visit. His hygienist, Allie, took the time to explain procedures related to my cleaning clearly to me, which made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. The office was clean, organized, and efficient. I left feeling confident that I’ve placed my dental care in the right hands. All in all, great visit and I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dentist."

" I came here to get a second opinion from a not so comfortable experience prior. Miaa, Dr Dinh, and Shannon were the sweetest and I 100% recommend coming here. My dental anxiety was easier to manage around them. Dr. Dinh is super comfortable to be around we even shared the same favorite cartoon. He recommended a game plan on my back bottom molar that is gonna end up needing a root canal or extraction. Nervous for the journey, but it’ll be ok!"

Rikki HER Harris

I decided to visit Lake Olympia Dental because the office is closew to home and I saw all the positive reviews, and I can see why! It was a seamless experience for being a new patient. Dr. Dinh and his staff were very personable, making sure you're at easy and having an enjoyable experience. They know their stuff and know how to make your visit smooth and efficient. The office is brand new, very clean and modern. My first time seeing a TV on the ceiling for patients to watch as you're getting your teeth cleaned. They also give you a warm face towel at the end to help freshen up. I sometimes forgot I was at the dentist.

I scheduled an emergency appointment today due to severe tooth pain and was able to be seen the same day. The office staff were very friendly and efficient, and the facility was new and clean. I appreciated how quick, yet thorough, my visit was. Most of all, I'm grateful for their late office hours, which made it possible for me to come in during the evening.
