The procedure is not painful, as you may have heard. At Rochester Dental Care we will numb the tooth so you won't feel any pain, and there is little discomfort afterwards. Extracting the tooth would be less healthy and more expensive.

Repairing the root canal is the way Dr. Hurtt can save the entire tooth. The other alternative is to pull the tooth entirely. However, leaving that space empty may create other problems, like making chewing and biting more difficult. Teeth may also shift their position if missing teeth are not there to hold the space.

If you decide to have the dentist pull the tooth and replace it with a denture or bridge, the cost will be significantly more than the cost of a root canal.

Dr. William L Hurtt is a Rochester root canal dentist and has a great deal of experience in treating root canal patients.  Dr. Hurtt is one of the best Rochester root canal dentists.  The care patients receive while at Rochester Dental Care is immaculate.  Trust Dr. Hurtt to take care of your dental needs.
