Root canal treatment is a highly effective way to save a tooth that might otherwise need extraction

Using modern techniques, we carefully remove infection, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it to restore strength and comfort. At Stella Dental Suite, our calm environment and expert team make what was once seen as a daunting treatment straightforward and reassuring.
