Root Canal | St Petersburg | New Tampa | New Port Richey | Dade City

A root canal is extremely effective in saving a tooth that is badly infected or decaying. The procedure requires the dentist to remove the nerve and pulp from the affected tooth, and then clean and seal it. Root canals are typically performed by an endodontist, which is a dentist specializing in treatments that focus on that tooth's pulp.

At Smile Design Dentistry, we understand that root canals can be daunting, so we strive to ensure that all our root canal patients feel comfortable knowing that they’ll receive gentle and friendly care. Our practice philosophy puts patient care and comfort first. Our dentists are all compassionate and understanding, so you can be sure your Smile Design endodontic specialist will work hard to ensure that your procedure is as painless and stress-free as possible. You can have a dentist perform a gentle, pain-free root canal treatment at any of our locations in New Tampa, Citrus Park, St Petersburg, Dad City, or New Port Richey.

Whichever office you visit, we’ll take the take the time to:

Take a digital x-ray (with 90% less radiation than a traditional x-ray), so we can show you exactly what will happen during your root canal
Explain your payment options, including the details of your insurance coverage and our own financing plans
Discuss the option of seeing our sedation dentist for nitrous sedation (laughing gas) to help you feel more relaxed during the procedure

In addition to root canals, patients can visit us for preventative dental care, restorative dentistry, orthodontia, cosmetic dentistry, and even TMJ (jaw joint) treatment.

We even offer emergency dentist appointments to address urgent dental issues.
