ENDODONTICS (ROOT CANALS)
Removing infection for a healthier tooth and a healthier you.
Root canals have the reputation of being a painful dental procedure. Nevertheless, at Reflection Dentistry, we strive to be different. Consequently, we employ modern technology and advanced skills to make your root canal pain-free. Our restorative dentist ensures your comfort at all times and can offer sedation options if needed.
So, why might you need root canal therapy? The most common cause is when severe decay or trauma infects the inside of your tooth. If left untreated, this infection can lead to pain, sensitivity, and even tooth loss. Fortunately, we can complete the procedure in a single visit, and you’ll experience minimal recovery time.
When you visit our dentists in Tumwater, WA for a root canal, you can rest assured that you’re in good hands. We treat every patient like family, which means we thoroughly explain every step of the treatment, answer your questions, and prioritize your comfort.
Moreover, successful root canals are long-lasting and provide a conservative way to save the natural structure of your tooth. As a result, you’ll feel real benefits after experiencing this fast and efficient procedure.

Root Canals Therapy
What are the ins and outs of this restorative dental procedure?
Comprehensive Exam
To begin, your experienced dentist assesses your tooth for damage, infection, and any other issues. If a root canal is necessary, we will then break down the treatment so you understand each step, and we’ll address all of your concerns.
Clean & Disinfect
We prep you for a root canal by numbing the tooth and the surrounding area. Your Tumwater dentists use special tools to clean away any decay and then remove the infection from the inside of the tooth (the pulp). He or she then reshapes the root canal to get it ready for a special resin.
Seal & Protect
Once the infection has been cleared away, your restorative dentist fills the remaining space with a special resin. This solidifies your tooth structure, functioning much like a regular dental filling. Finally, we restore your tooth to its natural function with a tooth-colored filling or crown to blend in with your smile.
Effective & Painless
Root canals like you never thought possible.
In today’s modern dentistry, root canals are as routine as dental fillings and can be performed with very little discomfort (if any!). Furthermore, the benefits are truly amazing as we can return your infected tooth to its former glory. Consequently, you’ll be back to eating your favorite foods in no time!
