Root Canals in New Jersey

What is Root Canal Treatment?

If you're experiencing symptoms such as a darkened tooth, prolonged sensitivity, gum swelling, facial swelling, or a painful abscess, these may be signs of a serious tooth infection. In such cases, root canal treatment in NJ may be necessary to preserve your natural tooth.

A tooth can become infected due to untreated decay that reaches the inner pulp or from trauma that damages the tooth's nerves. If left untreated, the infection can spread and cause significant oral health issues. Fortunately, New Jersey root canal procedures at BOOM Smiles are over 95% successful and can save your tooth without extraction.

The best dental restorative treatment for an infected or damaged tooth is a root canal. This treatment is 95% successful at restoring a tooth’s health and preventing tooth extraction. For those in Hoboken, learn more about our specialized root canal treatment in Hoboken to receive local expert care.

Our expert root canal dentists in NJ gently remove the infected pulp, disinfect the canals, and fill the tooth with a durable material. A custom dental crown may be placed to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.

How It Works: The Root Canal Process

root canal infection treatment consultation

Consultation

Our experienced team will perform a thorough dental examination and take x-rays to assess the extent of the infection. If the infection is too advanced, tooth extraction may be considered instead of a root canal.

root canal treatment anesthesia and sedation

Anesthetic & Sedation Options

Local anesthesia will be administered to prevent feeling any pain. We also offer 4 different types of sedation for your ultimate comfort.

Pulpectomy

To begin the root canal treatment in NJ, your dentist will access the pulp chamber, remove the infected tissue, clean the root canals, and sanitize the space thoroughly.

Filling


We replace the infected pulp with a biocompatible material known as gutta-percha, which seals and stabilizes the tooth.

Crown

While anterior teeth may not always need crowns, rear molars—due to the pressure they endure while chewing—typically benefit from added protection. Our dental crowns can restore full function and aesthetics.

Types of Root Canals

View our services

Anterior

This is a root canal performed in the front teeth, which are much smaller than the rear teeth. This can make the procedure more complex because there is less surface area to work with and gaining access to the pulp chamber is more difficult since we have to drill into the lingual side of the tooth. 

However, these teeth have 1 to 2 canals which makes the cleaning process much speedier and may require fewer appointments. A dental crown is usually not needed to protect these teeth because they don’t undergo as much chewing force.

Posterior

This is a root canal performed in the rear teeth, where there are up to 4 canals per tooth. This makes the pulpectomy and canal cleaning process much longer and we may need to split this between two appointments. However, these teeth have increased surface area and we can drill into the chewing surface of the tooth which gets us better access to the dental pulp. We highly recommend protecting these teeth with dental crowns.

Is a Root Canal Painful?

Not at all. With local anesthesia and sedation options, most patients report little to no discomfort during their root canal procedure in New Jersey. Even if you have dental anxiety, we can make you fully relaxed and you won’t remember anything afterward. Tooth infections can be very painful and root canal therapy is effective at eliminating this pain.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Anyone who has a tooth infection with a tooth that is still salvageable is the ideal candidate for a root canal. You must have the condition that makes root canals necessary (infection or damage to the tooth’s dental pulp) but sometimes the infection has been left untreated for too long and this requires removal of the tooth. Our root canal dentists in New Jersey will evaluate whether treatment or extraction is best based on the infection’s progression.
