What Is Root Canal Therapy?
When it comes to dealing with dental damage or decay, our team at Hollywood Dental and Orthodontics always tries to provide relief using the most conservative treatment possible, like crowns or bridges. However, when damage has reached the pulp of the tooth, we might recommend root canal therapy to preserve your smile and prevent any infection from spreading. You might have heard that root canals are painful, but modern dental techniques have made this procedure more convenient and comfortable than ever. If you're looking for experienced dental professionals who perform root canal therapy in Benbrook, TX, reach out to Hollywood Dental and Orthodontics and schedule your consultation with our friendly team.
How Is A Root Canal Done?
During your consultation, we'll conduct a thorough dental exam and talk about what you can expect during your treatment. We perform root canal therapy at our Benbrook, TX practice using anesthesia to help you keep comfortable during your procedure. After numbing the treatment area, we'll set up a small dam around the tooth to keep anything from getting in or out as we work. Once you're ready, we'll drill a small opening into the upper part of the tooth to access the pulp, which will be cleaned out. We'll then disinfect the inner tooth before filling and sealing it. When we're finished, we may cap your tooth with a dental crown to reinforce it.
What Are the Benefits of Root Canal Therapy?
At Hollywood Dental and Orthodontics, we do everything we can to help our patients preserve the natural health and beauty of their smiles. If you have an infected tooth, root canal therapy may be able to save it from removal. Some of the benefits of this treatment include:
- Relieves pain
- Clears out infected dental tissues to prevent future health complications
- Allows you to eat and talk comfortably again
- Provides an alternative to extraction in many cases
- Preserves the health and structure of your teeth
Because it is a vital treatment for preserving your dental health, root canal therapy is often covered (at least in part) by insurance. If you have any questions about your insurance, our friendly staff will be happy to help you understand your policy and prepare any required paperwork.

I have been going to this office for over a year. The new staff Dr.El, Synthia & Edgar are a breath of fresh air. Synthia is bright, welcoming and friendly! She is efficient and responds to questions quickly. Making appointments with her is a breeze. She also assisted me with finding a more affordable appointment for my oral surgery. Dr. El is super knowledgeable, friendly and encourages the best oral health for her patients. I recently had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out and although she did not do the procedure she gave me ease of mind with post and pre op instructions. Edgar is friendly and makes X-rays and set up for cleanings go smoothly! I will continue going here and wish the best success for the team and future patients.
My wife and I have looked everywhere in the area for a good dentist to help with our situation, we called and spoke with Hollywood and they were super helpful and got us in quickly! Synthia helped in every way possible and is very nice and professional. This is our new dentist for good!! Thank you Dr. El and staff !! :)
