Root Canals in Longmont, CO Stop Pain & Save Teeth

If you have a badly damaged or infected tooth, Silver Leaf Dentistry can help using gentle root canal treatment. Contrary to popular belief, Longmont, CO root canals are no more painful than receiving a tooth filling. Instead of referring you to an endodontist, restorative dentist Dr. Kory Wallin will use his extensive experience to perform root canal therapy right here at our dental office.

We’ll greet you warmly and listen to any concerns you might have about the procedure. Plus, you can take advantage of several amenities to help relieve dental anxiety, including:

  • Spacious, private care rooms
  • Ceiling-mounted TVs and headphones
  • Soft pillows and cozy blankets

Call us today to schedule an appointment: 720-504-2539. We’re conveniently located at 1100 Ken Pratt Blvd., Unit E – just down the street from Lucky’s Market. For your convenience, we’re open as early as 7 a.m.

Keep Your Tooth With Root Canal Therapy

The term “endodontics” refers to treatment of the inside (“endo”) of your teeth (“dontics”). More specifically, endodontic treatment – or root canal therapy – addresses the soft tissue and nerves (or pulp) inside your teeth. Dr. Wallin is highly experienced in root canal treatment. Here are the basic steps of the procedure:

  • Planning – Using our state-of-the-art digital X-rays, Dr. Wallin will assess the degree of damage and precisely locate the decay.
  • Numbing – To ensure your comfort and prevent any mild pain, we will numb the inside of your mouth.
  • Removal of Pulp – Using rotary endodontics instead of the stationary files of the past, Dr. Wallin will carefully and efficiently remove the infected pulp and clean out the inside of your tooth.
  • Filling in the Tooth – To protect your tooth, Dr. Wallin will fill the space where the infected tooth pulp was with a material called gutta-percha.

We will provide instructions to properly care for your repaired tooth following the procedure. For added strength and protection, Dr. Wallin may also recommend a dental crown as a final restoration.

In severe cases where root canal therapy will not work, Dr. Wallin may recommend a tooth extraction and a long-lasting tooth replacement like a dental implant.

Longmont, CO root canals help – they don’t cause you more pain! Call Silver Leaf Dentistry today to schedule an appointment so you can feel better soon: 720-504-2539.

“Incredibly friendly staff. They talked me through everything they were doing and made sure I was comfortable at all times. They were also very flexible with their schedule and allowed me to stay and have my teeth fixed the same day as my cleaning.” – Angela
“Too many dentists now are part of big corporate chains that seem not to much connection with their patients. I like this dentist more every time I come back.  Everyone is really friendly and positive even early in the morning. Being that it had been years since I regularly went to the dentist, I am still fascinated with all the new and modern technologies used at this office to provide …” Read More – Evan
“Dr Wallin is great with children, he has cared for all 4 of mine, and emphasizes not only how but why they should take care of their teeth, showing them the X-rays and pictures and communicating directly with them. It really helps them to feel responsible! The office hours make it easy to get an appointment, and Amy at the front desk is so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.” – J.S.

“I had to find a dentist I could afford to have a lot of work done with.  Silver Leaf was able to help me with financing so I didn’t have to chose between my house and my teeth.  The staff is wonderful and caring.  I have had great dentists in my life, but none compare.  Everyone I spend time with from Amy at the front to the assistants and Dr. …” Read More – Lynn
“I am always pretty skeptical about finding a new dentist because I am familiar with this field, having worked in dentistry in the past. I felt pretty good when I walked into the office, not only be welcomed by Dr. Wallin himself, but to see such a beautiful office. I was here for a general cleaning, and exam. This took all of about an hour and a half, which is …” Read More – Megan
“The entire staff here are very nice and competent. My daughter and I just went for our check-up and cleaning today. My daughter finished sooner than I did and they set her up with a movie and headphones.

Common Questions About Root Canals

Why have a root canal?

Root canals are necessary when a tooth has become infected. This happens when bacteria reaches the pulp (the soft tissue found on the inside of a tooth). The bacteria can also cause painful inflammation, which can make it difficult to bite and chew and may interfere with your day-to-day activities. By getting a root canal, you can remove the inflamed and infected tissue and rebuild your tooth.

Are root canals painful?

We’re happy to say that most of our root canal patients report no more pain than if they were getting a tooth filled. That’s because we take great care to ensure a comfortable root canal treatment for you. We’ll carefully numb the area we’re working on so that you don’t feel a thing.

What does a root canal do?

When we perform a root canal procedure, it is because the soft inner portion of the tooth (known as the pulp) has become infected. For this procedure, your dentist will access the pulp through the top of the tooth, clean it out, sanitize and shape the root canals, and seal the tooth back. This treatment allows us to save your tooth while stopping your pain.
