Root Canal Treatments Valencia, CA

Same or Next Day Appointments

Serving Patients from the Santa Clarita Valley Area

Have you ever been referred to an endodontist for root canal treatment? Also called endodontic therapy, root canal therapy is a specialized treatment that addresses the nerve structures in the middle of a tooth, rather than restoring the outer, harder tooth layers. Our dentists in Santa Clara offer complete root canal treatments in our office, eliminating the added need to a separate endodontic specialist.

Root canal treatments are often one of the last lines of defense when it comes to preserving abscessed, dying, or extremely painful teeth. Rest assured, Santa Ana root canal treatment is easier than most people expect. Especially thanks to advanced technology that makes the procedure more efficient than ever.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Dental Implants?

Who might need dental implants? Anyone with missing teeth, whether it’s one tooth, several, or all of them. As long as you are fairly healthy and have adequate bone support, we can install dental implants and then affix a restoration to “fill in” your smile.

Even if you’ve been told in the past that you don’t qualify for dental implants, our Valencia dentist can offer adjunctive therapies such as soft tissue and bone grafting to create an ideal environment for implant installation.

Be sure to review your health history with us during your initial consultation, including any medications or supplements that you’re taking, as these may interfere with proper implant integration.

Dental implants are best for healthy adults. If you are under 18 or currently experiencing chronic periodontal disease, please meet with our dentists to discuss what options are available.

Reasons to Consider Dental Implants

We highly recommend dental implants for missing teeth whenever possible. Here are just some of the reasons why:

Dental implants outlast and outperform other types of tooth replacements, providing the best return on investment.
Choose from a variety of designs, from single tooth implants to snap-on overdentures and permanent multi-tooth restorations.
Minimally invasive implant surgery is more comfortable than most people realize. You’re in great hands with our board-certified implant specialist.
The integrity of dental implants allows you to eat whatever you want. There are no dietary restrictions because dental implants are stronger than healthy teeth.
Implants are permanent tooth replacements. The supporting bone fuses with the implant surface, making it a permanent part of your smile.
The design of implants mirrors the natural anatomy of real teeth, allowing you to eat and talk comfortably.
Non-Invasive: Unlike other types of tooth replacement restorations, dental implants are non-invasive to adjacent teeth. They’re like having a new tooth all over again.

Dental Implants Cost

Today’s dental implants offer the best return on investment of any modern-day tooth replacement. Valencia dental implants cost will vary from person to person, depending on the number of teeth missing and the type of implant prosthesis they choose. Rest assured, our dentists will help you find the best option when it comes to affordable dental implants. In most cases, we will present at least two or three different options for you to consider so that you can select the best one for your situation.

Since implants have the capability of lasting your entire life, they save you money over the course of your smile’s health.

Dental Implant FAQ

What are dental implants, and how do they work?

Simply put, dental implants are artificial tooth roots. Once installed, we attach a visible “tooth” (restoration) on top of the implant via an abutment. A complete dental implant looks nearly identical to a natural tooth.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with missing teeth qualify for dental implants. In some cases, adjunctive support—such as bone grafting—may be necessary to ensure a prime location to install the implant.

How long does the dental implant process take?

A typical dental implant case usually requires about six months from start to finish. This includes the initial installation, integration phase, and final restoration. Our Sierra dentist will discuss the specific stages of treatment with you, including any temporary tooth replacements during your treatment.

How long do dental implants last?

A well-maintained dental implant should last for the rest of your life. However, good oral hygiene is key. The leading cause of implant failure is a preventable form of gum disease known as “peri-implantitis.” We encourage you to floss and brush around your implants daily and plan routine checkups to ensure the health of your new smile.

What is the average cost of dental implants in California?

Implant cost varies depending on how many teeth are missing and the type of implant restoration being used. However, implants provide the best return on investment compared to options like dental bridges and dentures. During your free consultation, our board-certified implant specialist will provide you with a complimentary treatment plan that includes an itemized breakdown of all applicable fees.

How much do full mouth implants cost?

Full arch dental implants typically cost less per tooth than installing one implant and crown for each respective tooth. During your initial exam, we will provide a cost estimate and care plan outlining the applicable treatments for your specific situation. Since each case varies, there is not a set flat fee for full mouth implants; factors such as bone health, extractions, sedation, and insurance coverage can significantly impact your estimated out-of-pocket portion.

Who is best to place dental implants?

The best provider for dental implants is a board-certified specialist. As an expert in implant therapy, specialists are able to ensure top-level care, even in more complex scenarios. When you visit our implant provider, you can rest assured that we’re equipped to provide the widest range of implant treatments under one roof.

Get Started

Santa Clarita Root Canal Experience

Getting root canal treatment in Santa Clarita is a straightforward process that we perform fairly often. After we examine your tooth and determine endodontic treatment is needed, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable and arrange to begin the root canal treatment. On the date of your procedure, we’ll make you comfortable and numb the tooth. From there, we’ll create a small opening in the tooth and remove the nerve tissues inside of it. Next, the tooth is cleaned out and sealed off, preventing bacteria from re-entering the hollow canal.

After your root canal treatment, we recommend placing a crown over your tooth. The crown will protect the weak, non-vital tooth structure so that you can continue biting and chewing normally.

It’s important to continue brushing and flossing around your tooth each day.

Why Choose Us?

At Sierra Dental Practice, our Santa Clarita dentists put patients first, providing the same level of care they would for their own family members. We take added steps to ensure your comfort at all times, helping you navigate your treatment choices and alternatives. Whether it’s a root canal, crown, or dental extraction, we will answer any and all of your questions and help you make an educated decision about your smile’s health.

Who Is A Good Candidate For A Root Canal?

Endodontics procedures are recommended when an individual has a permanent adult that is exhibiting signs of nerve damage but still has the majority of the tooth structure remaining. Our Valencia dentist will take an X-ray of the tooth to evaluate the inner nerve chamber and surrounding tissues. If it shows signs of an abscess—where an infection or cavity has seeped into the nerve chamber—then a root canal treatment will be recommended.

However, teeth with severe deterioration or advanced structural damage may not be salvageable with endodontic treatment. In those situations, it may be better to remove the tooth entirely and replace it with a bridge or dental implant.

What to Expect After a Root Canal

Knowing what to take after root canal treatment can help you stay ahead of unnecessary discomfort. While prescription pain medications are usually not necessary, an over-the-counter inflammatory medication like Motrin/ibuprofen can be helpful. Since your tooth is no longer vital, it can’t perceive any pain perceptions. But the gums around your tooth where the local anesthetic medication was placed may be a little sore for a few days. Rinsing with warm salt water can help in addition to over-the-counter pain medication after root canal treatment. If discomfort gets worse or persists, be sure to contact our Valencia dental office.

Root Canal Pain Management Medicine

The biggest source of pain associated with a root canal comes from the infected nerve leading up to your procedure. During your treatment, we’ll thoroughly numb the tooth so that you don’t feel any discomfort. Added sedation options may also be available to help you relax as much as possible. That being said, if there is severe inflammation, it may make it more difficult to numb your tooth during the appointment. To help with this, you may need to take an antibiotic leading up to your root canal appointment so that the numbing medication works correctly. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs like Motrin can also be taken as directed to manage discomfort. Once your root canal is complete, the source of your tooth pain will be eliminated.

Reasons to Consider a Root Canal

Root canal therapy (endodontic treatment):

- Is gentler and more comfortable than most people expect.
- Allows you to preserve your natural tooth.
- Eliminates the complications and added costs of tooth loss and replacement.
- Treats the source of dental pain and infections.
- Is highly successful and provides long-lasting benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there alternatives to root canal treatments?John2023-07-31T01:48:17+00:00

Are there alternatives to root canal treatments?

Over-the-counter pain relievers, antibiotics, and root canal pain medicine only provide temporary relief for toothaches and dental abscesses. Once the nerve of a tooth becomes infected, the only solution to save it is to perform endodontic therapy. The only other alternative is to extract your tooth and then replace it with something else.

Is it better to pull a tooth or get a root canal?John2023-07-31T01:47:47+00:00

Is it better to pull a tooth or get a root canal?

Our Sierra dental practice recommends preserving your natural teeth whenever possible. Removing or extracting a tooth leads to additional concerns, such as bone loss, shifting teeth, cosmetic concerns, and changes in your bite. It also adds additional costs related to tooth replacement. Unless your tooth is severely damaged and non-restorable, we highly recommend treating it with a gentle root canal.

How can I get a root canal if I can’t afford it?John2023-07-31T01:46:46+00:00

How can I get a root canal if I can’t afford it?

Since root canal therapy allows you to preserve your natural tooth, it’s better to treat the tooth than have it extracted. If the cost of root canal treatment is a concern, options include monthly financing with a 0% or low-interest dental loan through our Valencia dental office. We want your root canal experience to be as stress-free as possible, so our patient care and financial coordinators are happy to assist you in any way we can.

What is the average cost of a root canal in California?John2023-07-31T01:46:12+00:00

What is the average cost of a root canal in California?

The cost of a root canal in Valencia depends on several factors, primarily how many roots there are in the tooth. Teeth with multiple roots take longer to treat than single-rooted teeth, impacting the total cost of the procedure. During your exam at Sierra Dental Practice, our treatment coordinators will provide you with a detailed care plan that outlines all of the applicable fees involved. With our transparent pricing and flexible payment options, you can get the care you need. Getting a root canal is considerably less expensive than extracting the tooth and replacing it with something else.
