Restorative Dentistry — Root Canal Therapy in Rio Rancho, NM
Fast relief—save your natural tooth
When the nerve inside a tooth is inflamed or infected, a root canal removes the source of pain and seals the inside of the tooth. Most patients feel relief quickly; a protective crown is often recommended afterward (we offer CEREC same-day crowns).
What to expect
After comfortable numbing and isolation, we clean and shape the canals, disinfect the space, and seal it. If needed, we place a build-up and proceed to a same-day crown, or schedule the final restoration promptly.
Aftercare & longevity
Mild tenderness is common for a day or two. Avoid hard chewing on the tooth until it’s fully restored. With proper restoration and routine care, root-canal-treated teeth last many years.
Cost, insurance & financing
Insurance often helps when medically necessary. You’ll receive a clear estimate; CareCredit® is available if you want predictable monthly payments.
