Root Canal Therapy | Fishers IN
What is a root canal?
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for dental implants or bridges.At the center of your tooth is pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels and nerves that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature, or pain in the tooth and gums.
Are You Seeking Relief from a Painful or Sensitive Tooth?
Pain in your tooth or gums may be a symptom of infected pulp. Drs. Moretton, Vail, Mintz and Corso can perform a Root Canal to treat the infected pulp, relieve pain, and save your natural teeth!
How is a root canal performed?
If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. Root canal therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required. Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of cases.
If your tooth is not amenable to endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you will be informed at the time of consultation or when a complication becomes evident during or after treatment. We use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. In addition, we will provide nitrous oxide analgesia if indicated. You will be able to drive home after your treatment, and you probably will be comfortable returning to your normal routine.
What happens after root canal treatment?
When your root canal therapy has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. You should contact their office for a follow-up restoration within a few weeks of completion at our office. Your restorative dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth.
It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery. If a problem does occur, however, we are available at all times to respond. To prevent further decay, continue to practice good dental hygiene.
How much will a root canal cost?
The cost associated with the root canal procedure can vary depending on factors such as the severity of damage to the affected tooth and which tooth is affected. In general, endodontic treatment is much less expensive than tooth removal and replacement with an artificial tooth.

Dr Vail and her team are exceptional. I just had my first ever root canal completed at Endodontic Specialist and the procedure went flawlessly. Dr Vail is highly skilled, professional and very compassionate. Shae (expanded assistant) was very kind and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to refer any of my family or friends to this practice. Thank you. Dr Jason H

Patient Review by Andrew M
This was by far my best experience with an Endodontic procedure ever. I was referred to this office by the VA for a root canal due to unavailability of staff at the VA and Dr. Vail made time for a same day appointment. Dr. Vail is beyond professional and her team made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. If I have to have any Endodontic work done again I will be returning to this office. Hands down the best experience you could ask for!
