Don't allow tooth pain interfere with your daily life. We are here to get you out of pain.

What is the purpose of a root canal?

If you have persistent tooth pain or have been diagnosed with a dental abscess, a root canal may be necessary to restore your oral health. A root canal is used to address infection or inflammation in the pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth. Damage to the pulp from deep decay, cracks, or trauma can allow bacteria to cause a painful infection. Without prompt treatment, the infection can spread and result in tooth loss. Our experienced doctors employ advanced techniques to deliver gentle and effective root canal therapy. We will eliminate the infection, alleviate your pain, and help you love your smile again.

Sedation for Your Comfort

If you feel anxious about your root canal or have specific healthcare requirements that might make the procedure less comfortable, please let us know. We can provide you with a safe sedation dentistry alternative to ensure a relaxed and effective experience!

Same-Day Crowns Available

After our doctors have addressed the infection, they will cap the tooth with a personalized dental crown. We provide CEREC® same-day dental crowns at our dental office in Cupertino, which enables us to complete the entire process in a single appointment rather than two!

Stress-Free Care

We recognize that the idea of a root canal might make you feel anxious. Rest assured that we prioritize your comfort above all else. Our compassionate team will support you throughout the process to alleviate your worries and guarantee a favorable experience.

The Root Canal Process

Consultation

The initial process involves a thorough examination and discussion. By utilizing digital x-rays and 3D scans, your dentist will evaluate your tooth and decide if a root canal is the most suitable treatment. We will go over the procedure extensively and address any inquiries you may have.

Root Canal Therapy

Once your comfort with anesthesia and sedation is confirmed, the dentist will make a small opening in the tooth to reach the infected pulp. Special instruments are used to carefully remove the damaged tissue and disinfect the root canals. After that, the canals are sealed with a biocompatible material to avoid future infection.

Restoring Your Tooth

Most of the time, a dental crown is placed to reinforce and safeguard the tooth following root canal treatment. We provide CEREC crowns that can be done in a single day, enabling us to finish the whole process in just one appointment. The crown is tailored to blend in with your natural teeth, providing a flawless, attractive outcome.

Recovery & Aftercare

After your root canal, you might feel slight soreness for a few days, but you can control it with non-prescription pain relievers. We will give you specific guidance on how to take care of your fixed tooth. Many patients can resume their usual routines on the same day. By maintaining good oral health and attending regular checkups, your treated tooth can remain healthy for the rest of your life.

FAQs

Have questions? Find answers here.

What are some signs that show that I need a root canal?

Teeth that require root canals usually experience a long list of persistent symptoms. If you are experiencing any of the following, it could mean that decay has reached your tooth’s pulp:

  • Swollen gums
  • Tender, red gums
  • Tooth pain
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Gum abscess
  • Sharp pain when eating
How much does a root canal cost?

The total cost of your root canal treatment can vary based on several factors, such as your overall oral health, the need for preliminary procedures, the type of dental crown chosen, the sedation method used if needed. We are dedicated to offering gentle root canal care at transparent and reasonable prices. Following a comprehensive consultation, our dentists will create a personalized treatment plan designed for your specific requirements, including a detailed cost estimate. If you have any inquiries about the procedure, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Why would I need an extraction?

There are several reasons why a person may require a root canal or extraction. If you have periodontal disease that has severely affected one or more teeth, an extraction is the best solution. Additionally, if a tooth is extensively damaged and cannot be saved, or if you continue to experience pain after receiving a filling, crown, or root canal treatment, an extraction may be necessary, followed by the placement of an implant. Those with deep cavities or complications from a previous filling may benefit from a root canal. This procedure is a more conservative approach and is used by dentists to clean and repair an infected tooth. Root canals are an excellent option for preserving teeth.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

A crown is not always necessary after a root canal. In some cases, a filling may suffice, at the discretion of your dentist. If over half of the tooth is damaged, a crown is recommended to restore the tooth's strength.

Patient Testimonials

You say it best.

Excellent and professional care for replacement of two crowns by Dr. Van and his able assistant, Lo. Clear explanations as he proceeded, Dr. Van's manner was warm, reassuring and expert. I am squeamish about dental care, and they made me feel so safe, calm and reassured.  I am happy to recommend the entire office.

Phenomenal experience. I look for a dentist who not only has experience but the highest quality of skill and care. It’s not just about quality, though, I also look for someone who has an excellent reputation. Doctors who have the skill-set as well as attention to detail. It is important to me to have  the ability to understand my needs and desired outcome. I really do appreciate Dr. Field being a premier leader in cosmetic dentistry. Impressive.

I can’t wait to see the models of my teeth not to mention, my new smile! I even brought my kid with me, too! Now that is incredible!  Thank you!

Thank you, staff of the Peninsula Center of Cosmetic Dentistry for making my cosmetic dentistry experience outstanding. Before visiting, I was self conscious of my teeth and hardly smiled at new people or in pictures. Now I have a brilliant smile and my self confidence has been boosted! I would recommend the Peninsula Center of Cosmetic Dentistry to anyone.

I had my first visit with Dr. Indah at Dental Arts of Mountain View today. It was for a TMJ consult. It was by far and away one of the most thorough exams and consultation I've ever had. Amayra, her assistant, was professional, kind and a very warm person. Dr. Indah was also very professional, informative and kind. I am very happy with this office and my first visit was excellent!

Jenny M.

I have never liked the look of my teeth. The spaces between my teeth have always bothered me. I found PCCD while doing research on the internet and went to him to find out what my options were. He gave me new porcelain veneers and closed the spaces between my teeth. Now, I feel more confident about my smile.

I came to PCCD after doing extensive research online. I had old crowns on my front teeth, old amalgam fillings on my molars that have been worn down. I was also never comfortable with my smile. I’ve always had a dental phobia since childhood and have avoided seeing a dentist… They listened to all my concerns and issues. They presented different options and reviewed them with me. I ended up doing a full mouth reconstruction and I am very happy with the results. It was the best decision I ever made.

I had a great experience having work done on my teeth! The staff was super friendly and scheduling was a breeze. Dr. Pham took his time making sure that I was completely comfortable throughout the procedure. The folks in the office were very thoughtful making me feel well taken care of. After the procedure, everything aligned properly the first time which I was impressed by!

Because I am on camera everyday, my smile is so important. PCCD’s dentists and wonderful staff made it beautiful, white and healthy. And the best part – no pain and no anxiety. Going to PCCD was a pleasant experience. Did you ever think you would hear that about going to a dentist? I would recommend PCCD to anyone.

The quality of PCCD’s work is outstanding! My teeth and my smile have never looked better. I would recommend PCCD for people needing cosmetic dentistry.

Such a lovely place for me and my teeth! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, they always remember me and ask about my family, the whole facility is immaculate, and while they recommend options they never try to push extra services on me. The cost is competitive for Silicon Valley and they accept insurance and flex spending accounts so I waltz right out the door with no hassle! Happy teeth and BEE!

Face it, nobody likes going to the dentist. I get that. But I actually look forward to my dentist visits because of the people! Everyone here is so nice and non-judgmental it's been my pleasure to go here for going on 5 years now! They also know what they're doing, which hasn't been my experience in the past. I am consistently confident that they will take care of my mouth when I go here!

In a word.... AWESOME! I lost a front crown the night before calling Dental Arts of Mountain View. The next day, only hours later, I had a new crown! Dr. Oh and his staff, Susie, Haley, Margorie and Beatrice were truly amazing. The lobby and offices are gorgeous and provides a tranquil environment with massage chairs during procedures. Yes, this dental office is second to none. I did extensive research by googling the "best cosmetic and general dentistry." Dental Arts was at the top of the list. A well deserved reputation that I drove an hour and half to confirm.  The cost was unbelievable affordable.  Great value and results that left a very big Smile on my face! Thank you very much Dental Arts you are the BEST!
