Root Canal Therapy in Las Vegas, NV
Root Canals At Modern Dental Care
At Modern Dental Care, we understand that a root canal can be a daunting prospect for many patients. Root canal therapy aims to save the affected tooth and prevent further infection and damage. If the tooth is left untreated and an infection develops and worsens, the tooth can become severely damaged and require extraction. We promise all patients that we provide the best and most comfortable course of treatment for root canal therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy (also known as endodontic treatment) is necessary when the inside of a tooth and its surrounding area become infected. This infection can be a result of cracking, decay, or injury. Root canal treatments can save a tooth that is badly damaged or decayed; this process will fully restore the tooth.
How To Know If You Require Root Canal Therapy?
Before a dentist in Silverado Ranch recommends root canal therapy, there are many symptoms to look out for. These include:
- Severe sensitivity to hot or cold foods.
- Sudden pain in a tooth when biting or chewing.
- Swelling of the gum close to the affected tooth.
- Facial swelling.
How Does Root Canal Therapy Work?
The procedure starts with the removal of the infected or damaged tissue inside the tooth. They then thoroughly clean and disinfect the area before filling and sealing the space using advanced materials.
At Modern Dental Care, there is no need to worry. Our team promises to manage all procedures and provide a comfortable and pain-free journey towards perfect teeth worth smiling about, so call today!
Our Services
Bonding
Bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that helps fill chips, gaps, or fractures and is very different from veneers.
Bridges
Dental bridges are necessary for many patients with missing teeth or gaps in their smile, not just for general appearance. Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a poor bite.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental work that improves the overall appearance of your smile. It includes improvement of color, shape, position, etc. of your teeth.
Crowns
Dental crowns restore shape, strengthen function and improve the general appearance of teeth. Crowns encase the damaged tooth’s outer surface, securely cementing the tooth’s surface long-term.

Extractions
Do you have a broken tooth that is causing ongoing discomfort and pain? You’ll likely require a dental extraction if the dentist deems your tooth to be beyond restoration.
Fillings
Cavities or “dental caries”, are small holes that develop in teeth as a result of tooth decay. Since cavities result in permanent damage to the surface of your teeth, they require restoration through fillings.
