Root Canal Treatment in Charlotte, NC

Imagine Dentistry

If you have a severely damaged, decaying tooth, or a severe tooth infection (abscess), your dentist may recommend a root canal treatment. Root canals are used to repair and save your tooth instead of removing it. If you have decayed teeth and wonder whether a root canal will be the solution to your problem, then contact us at Imagine Dentistry. Our dental clinic in Charlotte has experienced dentists who will first thoroughly examine your oral condition and formulate the right treatment plan for you.

The pulp is the soft tissue inside your tooth containing nerves, blood vessels, and nourishment for your tooth. It can become infected if you have:

  • A deep cavity.

  • Repeated dental procedures that disturb this tissue.

  • A cracked or fractured tooth.

  • Injury to the tooth (even if there’s not a visible crack or chip).

If untreated, the tissues around the root of your tooth can become infected. When this happens, you will often feel pain and swelling, and an abscess may form inside the tooth and/or in the bone around the end of the tooth root. An infection can also put you at risk of losing your tooth completely because bacteria can damage the bone that keeps your tooth connected to your jaw.

Many people fear the root canal process as they are afraid of the pain. But there is nothing to be concerned about; the modern dentist uses multiple techniques to ease the process and control the pain. You will be given local anesthesia during the procedure, and you might experience discomfort after the process, but it will go away within a few days with proper medications. If you face any problems in your recovery period, schedule an appointment with Dr. Ann Coambs today. Call us at 704-540-7600.

I was greeted immediately even though the receptionist was taking a call. Once the call was over she stood right up and shook my hand. Very friendly, personable, and comforting environment. High tech facility, made me feel confident in their capabilities. They made recommendations that made sense and explained everything thoroughly. Thrilled I’ve found them

I have severe dental office phobia, but between the front desk staff, the hygienist (Tiffany) making me laugh by telling me stories about her kids & Dr. Coambs “chairside manner”, I sailed right through!

Dr. Coambs and her staff are absolutely top notch. They make you feel like part of the family. The take the time to explain all the options and what the best outcome will be for you. They are by far the best dentist office I’ve ever worked with, I’ve been going to the dentist since I was 8 and broke an adult tooth. I’ve never felt more appreciated or important than I do when I go to their office. Dr. Coambs you ROCK!
