Root Canals in Clermont, FL: Expert Therapy at Elite Dental

When tooth pain strikes, it can disrupt your day and your smile. At Elite Dental of Clermont, we offer root canal therapy, a highly effective treatment designed to save your natural teeth and eliminate discomfort caused by infection or decay. With advanced techniques and a gentle approach, our team ensures your root canal experience is as smooth and pain-free as possible.



What is a Root Canal?


A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, and when it becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause severe pain and sensitivity. Root canal therapy cleans and seals the tooth, preventing further damage and restoring its function.



Signs You May Need a Root Canal


If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may benefit from root canal therapy:

  • Persistent tooth pain or throbbing
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums
  • Darkening of the tooth
  • Pimple-like bumps on the gums
  • Pain when biting or chewing

These symptoms indicate potential infection or damage, and timely treatment can save your tooth and alleviate pain.



Our Root Canal Therapy Process


  1. Diagnosis and Treatment Planning:  We begin with a thorough examination and digital X-rays to assess the extent of the infection and create a customized treatment plan.
  2. Removing the Infection:  During the procedure, we carefully remove the infected pulp and clean the inside of the tooth to eliminate bacteria.
  3. Filling and Sealing:  Once the tooth is cleaned, it is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future infections.
  4. Restoration:  To restore the tooth’s strength and appearance, we often place a dental crown over the treated tooth.

  • Why is general dentistry important for my overall health?

    General dentistry prevents cavities, gum disease, and detects oral issues early. It also supports overall health, as oral health is linked to heart and systemic health, ensuring your well-being stays on track.

  • What are the benefits of cosmetic dentistry?

    Cosmetic dentistry at Elite Dental of Clermont boosts your self-confidence, brightens your smile, and leaves a lasting first impression. We deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results customized to meet your unique smile goals.

  • What makes dental implants better than other tooth replacement options?

    Dental implants offer superior stability and durability by fusing directly with your jawbone, unlike traditional dentures or bridges. They help preserve bone structure, restore full functionality, and provide a natural-looking smile, making them the gold standard for tooth replacement. At Elite Dental of Clermont, we tailor implant solutions to fit your unique needs and deliver lasting results.

  • Can restorative dentistry save natural teeth, or are replacements the only option?

    Restorative dentistry at Elite Dental of Clermont focuses on preserving your natural teeth whenever possible. Treatments such as root canals and crowns repair and strengthen damaged teeth, while options like bridges or dental implants offer durable, effective replacements when saving a tooth isn’t viable. We customize every solution to prioritize your oral health and long-term satisfaction.

  • What should I expect during recovery from oral surgery?

    Recovery from oral surgery at Elite Dental of Clermont varies based on the procedure but generally includes managing swelling, following a soft food diet, and practicing proper oral hygiene. We provide personalized aftercare instructions and ongoing support to ensure a smooth healing process and minimize the risk of complications.

  • What types of dentures are available?

    We offer full dentures (for replacing all teeth), partial dentures (for replacing some teeth), and implant-supported dentures, which provide extra stability by anchoring to dental implants.

  • What happens if gum disease is left untreated?

    If untreated, gum disease can progress to tooth loss, jawbone deterioration, and increased risk of systemic health problems like heart disease and diabetes. Early intervention with periodontal therapy at Elite Dental of Clermont can stop this progression, restore gum health, and protect your overall well-being.

  • Can I eat normally with dentures?

    Yes, but it may take some time to adjust. Start with soft foods and gradually reintroduce harder foods as you become more comfortable. Cutting food into smaller pieces can also help.

  • Can a root canal save my tooth from extraction?

    Yes, a root canal is designed to save your natural tooth by removing infection and restoring its function. At Elite Dental of Clermont, our advanced techniques and restorative care ensure that your treated tooth remains strong and healthy, avoiding the need for extraction.

  • Do dentures affect the way I speak?

    Some people may experience slight changes in speech initially, but with practice, most patients quickly adapt and speak clearly.

  • How does Invisalign work?

    Invisalign aligners are custom-made to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. You'll wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks before switching to the next set in the series, with periodic check-ins to monitor your progress.

  • How do I know if I need a root canal?

    Common signs include severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, tenderness in the gums, or a darkened tooth. However, some people may not experience symptoms, which is why regular dental checkups are important.
