When a toothache interrupts your day with relentless discomfort, it’s time to find a solution that restores both your smile and your peace of mind. Endodontics offers gentle, precise care for deep-seated dental issues. At Opal Dental, this area of dentistry is a step toward preserving the long-term health of your teeth with the utmost care and sophistication.
Endodontics focuses on saving teeth by treating the inner, most sensitive part of the tooth, called the pulp. The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue that keep your tooth alive. However, when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to injury, decay, or cracks, you could experience severe pain or even tooth loss if untreated.
By addressing these issues with precision and skill, endodontic treatments help eliminate pain, prevent further damage, and save teeth that might otherwise be lost.
A pulpotomy is for younger patients or in cases where tooth decay hasn’t caused extensive damage. We remove only the inflamed portion of the tooth’s pulp, disinfect the area, and seal it to prevent further infection. This is a less invasive way to relieve pain and avoid complications.
This therapy is for when infection or decay has reached deeper into the tooth. Root canals involve removing the infected pulp, carefully cleaning the canals, and filling them with a restorative material. Once sealed and capped with a crown, your tooth can function and look just like new.
The main alternative is a tooth extraction, but keeping your natural tooth is almost always the better choice. It helps you maintain your smile, chew comfortably, and keep your mouth healthy. Whenever possible, we’re here to help you preserve your tooth and all the benefits that come with it.

Absolutely. With proper care, a tooth that’s undergone endodontic treatment can last as long as your other natural teeth, although some restorations may need to be periodically replaced.
