Endodontics is a big word that means something very simple: saving your tooth. This area of our West Portland dental care is dedicated to keeping your smile yours. Whether your tooth is dealing with pain, infection, or trauma, Pacific Woods Dental’s endodontic procedures restore balance beneath the surface.
Endodontics saves your natural teeth by addressing problems that start inside. At the center of each tooth lies a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this area becomes inflamed or infected—often due to deep decay, trauma, or cracks—endodontic care steps in to clear up the issue and preserve your tooth.
Think of it as treating the root problem (literally!) instead of removing the tooth entirely. You get to keep your smile intact while we treat the underlying issue. And contrary to what you may have heard, endodontic solutions are designed not only to restore function but also to relieve pain.
When people hear “root canal,” they often imagine discomfort. However, while you might think of them more as supervillains, root canals are actually the superheroes of endodontics.
Thanks to modern techniques and the careful approach of our dentist in Portland, Oregon, these treatments are far smoother than you might think. Our advanced technology and relaxed atmosphere mean you can sit back while we handle the hard part.
No, while root canals get the most attention, endodontic care also includes procedures to repair cracks, address trauma, or perform other pulp-related treatments.
Not necessarily. General dentists in Portland like ours are fully trained to perform many endodontic treatments, including root canals. We’re proud to be your central location for a wide variety of specialized treatments.
