What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics focuses on treating the inside of the tooth, specifically the pulp and surrounding tissues. Commonly known as root canal therapy, endodontic procedures remove infection or decay, preserving the tooth and restoring its functionality.
If left untreated, infected or damaged pulp can lead to severe pain, abscesses, and even tooth loss. At Graphite Dental, we offer advanced endodontic treatments to help protect your smile and prevent complications.

Signs You May Need Endodontic Treatment
You may require endodontic care if you experience:
- Severe tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure.
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures.
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth.
- Discoloration of a tooth.
- Persistent or recurring pimples on the gums.
If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a consultation to prevent further damage and protect your oral health.
Endodontic Treatments We Offer
At Graphite Dental, we provide comprehensive endodontic care tailored to your needs:
- Root Canal Therapy: A common and effective procedure to remove infected pulp and save the tooth.
- Endodontic Retreatment: For cases where previous treatment didn’t fully resolve the issue, we provide retreatment to ensure lasting results.
- Post and Core Restoration: After a root canal, we offer reinforcement for the tooth structure to prepare it for a crown.
If necessary, additional procedures like bone grafting may be recommended to support long-term oral health.
Benefits of Endodontic Treatment
- Pain Relief: Eliminate discomfort caused by infection or inflammation.

The Endodontic Treatment Process
Here’s what to expect during your endodontic treatment at Graphite Dental:
- Comprehensive Diagnosis and Consultation
Dr. Conway will evaluate your symptoms and perform diagnostic tests, including X-rays, to identify the issue and determine the best treatment plan. - Painless Treatment
Using advanced techniques and local anesthesia, we ensure a comfortable experience. During root canal therapy, the infected pulp is removed, and the tooth is cleaned and sealed to prevent further infection. - Restoration of the Tooth
After the root canal, we’ll reinforce the tooth with a crown or filling to restore its strength and appearance. Learn more about our dental crown services for long-lasting restorations.
