Pain Relief and Tooth Preservation at Roman Dental Arts
If you’re dealing with tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, you may need root canal therapy. At Roman Dental Arts, we provide gentle, effective root canal therapy to relieve discomfort and save your natural teeth. Led by Dr. Donald J. Roman and Dr. Alissa M. Roman, our experienced team uses modern tools and techniques to ensure a smooth, stress-free procedure with long-lasting results.
What Is Root Canal Therapy and Why Is It Needed?
Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure used to treat an infected or inflamed tooth pulp. The pulp is the inner part of your tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When this area becomes infected due to deep decay, a crack, or injury, it can lead to severe pain and may result in tooth loss if left untreated.
During a root canal procedure, our root canal dentists carefully remove the infected pulp, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it to prevent further infection. This treatment not only relieves pain but also allows you to keep your natural tooth intact, preserving your smile and bite alignment.
Roman Dental Arts is committed to delivering the best root canal therapy using advanced technology like digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and precise rotary instruments for efficient and accurate care.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
It’s not always obvious when you need a root canal, but some symptoms are common warning signs of an infected tooth. Schedule an appointment if you’re experiencing any of the following:
- Persistent or severe toothache
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
- A recurring pimple on the gums
Our dental team will conduct a comprehensive examination to determine whether root canal therapy is necessary. We use 3D imaging and low-radiation digital scans to diagnose the condition of your tooth accurately and develop a personalized treatment plan.
What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment at Roman Dental Arts
Many patients feel nervous about getting a root canal, but the procedure is more comfortable than ever thanks to modern techniques and sedation options. At Roman Dental Arts, our goal is to make your experience as pain-free and relaxing as possible.
Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
- Consultation & Diagnosis: We perform a full exam, including X-rays and sensitivity testing.
- Treatment: The infected tissue is removed, the tooth is disinfected, and the root canals are sealed with a biocompatible material.
- Restoration: A crown is usually placed to strengthen and protect the treated tooth.
We also offer same-day crowns using CEREC® technology for added convenience. Whether it’s a planned visit or an emergency root canal, we provide timely care without compromising quality.

FAQs About Root Canal Therapy
Is root canal therapy painful?
No. With local anesthesia and sedation options, root canal therapy is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most patients report immediate relief after the procedure.
How long does root canal treatment take?
Most treatments are completed in one visit. In more complex cases, two appointments may be needed—one for cleaning and another for sealing and crown placement.
Can a root canal fail?
Root canals have a high success rate. However, if reinfection occurs, retreatment may be necessary. Our advanced tools and techniques help reduce the risk of complications.
How do I care for my tooth after a root canal?
You should maintain good oral hygiene, avoid chewing hard foods until your permanent crown is placed, and attend regular dental checkups.
