If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain or sensitivity, you may need a root canal treatment. At our dental office in Cooper City, we specialize in providing comfortable, effective, and long-lasting root canal therapy to help save your natural teeth and restore your smile.
The treatmentRoot Canals
What is a root canal?
A root canal removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, disinfects and seals it to save the natural tooth. Signs you may need one include severe toothache, lasting sensitivity to hot or cold, gum swelling and a darkening tooth. Jonari Dental of Cooper City provides root canal therapy in the office.
A root canal is a restorative dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside your tooth. The space is then cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to protect against future infection.
Thanks to modern dental technology, root canal treatments today are fast, safe, and comfortable.
Signs you may need a root canal
- Severe toothache or pain while chewing

Does a root canal hurt?
Despite its reputation, a root canal is performed to relieve pain, not cause it. With modern anesthesia and technology, the procedure is as comfortable as getting a routine filling.
How long does the appointment take?
Most root canal treatments can be completed in a single visit, typically lasting between 60 to 90 minutes depending on the complexity of the tooth.
Can I just get the tooth pulled instead?
While extraction is an option, saving your natural tooth is usually the better choice for your long-term oral health, as it prevents other teeth from shifting and avoids the need for implants.
What is the recovery like after the procedure?
Most patients return to their normal activities the next day. You may feel some mild sensitivity for a few days, which can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases, yes. After a root canal, the tooth becomes more brittle. A crown is placed to protect the tooth from fracturing and to restore its full function.
Relieve the pain. Save your tooth.
