Root Canal Therapy at Affinity Family Dental Muncie

Advanced Care to Save Your Natural Tooth

At Affinity Family Dental Muncie, we believe that preserving your natural teeth is one of the most important investments you can make in your long-term oral health. When the nerve inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, modern root canal therapy offers a safe, predictable, and highly effective way to save the tooth — avoiding extraction and maintaining your natural smile.

Why a Root Canal May Be Needed

Deep decay, fractures, trauma, or repeated dental procedures can allow bacteria to reach the inner pulp of a tooth. When this happens, the tooth can become extremely painful or sensitive, and the surrounding bone may also become affected.

Root canal therapy removes the infection while preserving the structure of your natural tooth — protecting your bite, comfort, and overall oral health.

What to Expect During Treatment

  1. Detailed Evaluation
    Using advanced imaging, we assess the affected tooth and confirm the best treatment approach.

  2. Gentle Removal of Infection
    The infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and shaped.

  3. Protection & Restoration
    The space is sealed, and a high-quality crown may be added for strength, function, and aesthetics — allowing your tooth to look and feel completely natural.
