Endodontics in St. Louis Park

Endodontics is a branch of dentistry dedicated to diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth, particularly the pulp and roots. The most common endodontic procedure is a root canal, which removes infected tissue, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent reinfection.

You may need endodontic treatment if you experience:

• Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
  
  
• Swelling or tenderness in the gums
  
  
• Darkening of the tooth
  
  
• A chipped or cracked tooth exposing the pulp
  

Deep decay reaching the inner tooth

Choosing our St. Louis Park dental team for your root canal means you can expect:

• Pain Relief – Eliminate discomfort caused by infection or nerve damage
  
  
• Tooth Preservation – Keep your natural tooth instead of extracting it
  
  
• Advanced Technology – Digital imaging and precision instruments for accurate treatment
  
  
• Comfort Options – Nitrous oxide and sedation for stress-free care
  

Comprehensive Restoration – Protect treated teeth with durable dental crowns for long-term function and beauty

Is a root canal painful?
Modern root canal therapy is comfortable and no more painful than getting a filling.

How long does the procedure take?
Most root canals can be completed in one visit, though complex cases may require two.

Will I need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases, yes—a crown helps protect and strengthen the tooth.

Can an infected tooth heal without treatment?
No. Once the pulp is infected, professional dental treatment is the only way to save the tooth.
