Don't let tooth pain disrupt your life. We can help.

Why is a root canal necessary?

If you're experiencing persistent tooth pain or have been diagnosed with a dental abscess, you may need a root canal to restore your oral health.A root canal treats infection or inflammation in the pulp, which is the soft tissue inside your tooth. When the pulp becomes damaged due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, bacteria can enter and cause a painful infection. Without timely treatment, the infection can spread and lead to tooth loss. At Peninsula Center of Cosmetic Dentistry, our skilled doctors use advanced techniques to provide gentle, effective root canal therapy. We'll eliminate the infection, relieve your pain, and get you back to enjoying your smile.

Sedation for Your Comfort

If you are nervous about your root canal, or if you have special healthcare needs that could make this procedure uncomfortable, let us know. We’ll offer you a safe sedation dentistry option to make for a stress-free, efficient procedure!

Same-Day Crowns Available

Once our doctors treat the infection, they will seal the tooth using a custom dental crown. We offer CEREC® same-day dental crowns at our Mountain View dental office, a service that allows us to provide the entire procedure in one appointment instead of two!

Stress-Free Care

We understand that the thought of a root canal may cause some anxiety. Rest assured that your comfort is our top priority. Our caring team will be with you every step of the way to ease your concerns and ensure a positive experience.

The Root Canal Process

Consultation

The first step is a comprehensive exam and consultation. Using digital x-rays and 3D scans, the doctor will assess your tooth and determine if a root canal is the best course of treatment. We'll discuss the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have.

Root Canal Therapy

After ensuring your complete comfort with anesthesia and sedation, the doctor will create a small opening in the tooth to access the infected pulp. Using special instruments, the damaged tissue is carefully removed and the root canals are disinfected. The canals are then sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent future infection.

Restoring Your Tooth

In most cases, a dental crown is placed to strengthen and protect the tooth after root canal therapy. We offer CEREC same-day crowns, allowing us to complete the entire procedure in a single visit. The crown is custom-made to match your natural teeth for a seamless, beautiful result.

Recovery & Aftercare

You may experience some mild soreness for a few days after your root canal, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. We'll provide you with detailed instructions for caring for your restored tooth. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities the same day. With proper oral hygiene and regular checkups, your treated tooth can last a lifetime.

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?

Your total root canal cost may depend on a range of factors, including your current oral health and if you require any preliminary procedures, the type of dental crown selected, sedation method used, if applicable.

At PCCD, we are committed to providing gentle root canal treatment at fair and honest prices. After a thorough consultation, our dentists will develop a custom treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, along with a price breakdown. If you have any questions about the process, feel free to call us.

Why would I need an extraction?

There are many reasons for needing a root canal or extraction. If you are suffering from periodontal disease that has badly infected one or more teeth, an extraction best addresses the issue. Furthermore, if a tooth is badly damaged and cannot be restored or you are suffering from pain even after a filling, crown, or root canal, an extraction may be needed and an implant placed as a replacement.Patients with a deep cavity or issues from a previous filling are candidates for a root canal. The root canal procedure is a much more conservative treatment. It is performed by dentists to clean and restore an infected tooth. Root canals are great options for saving teeth.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

You don’t always need a crown after a root canal. Sometimes it can be sealed with a filling, which is determined by your dentist. If more than half of the tooth is gone, a crown should be placed to restore the tooth’s structural integrity.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Bonnie E.

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.

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!

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!

As a new patient, I can say the whole team was super friendly! When you walk in the door, you immediately feel welcomed. The whole staff were all nice and helpful. Dr. Pham did a good job to make sure you felt comfortable and that you left without any questions. Definitely recommend!

Valeria

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.

Susan J.

Los Altos

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.

Dan A.

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!
