Experience Whole-Health-Focused Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy has a reputation for being painful. In reality, it's a precise restorative procedure that relieves discomfort and protects your long-term health. You will find the experience feels no more involved than getting a standard filling. That's because Dr. Kaady uses advanced techniques and local anesthesia to keep you comfortable every step of the way.

If you feel anxious about your visit, you can receive inhaled sedation (laughing gas) or oral conscious sedation for a sense of calm throughout your root canal treatment.

Here's how root canal therapy works at Bridgetown Dental:

Dr. Kaady gently accesses the inside of the tooth to remove infected or inflamed tissue.
The canal is cleaned and disinfected to eliminate harmful bacteria and microbes.
The inner tooth is reshaped, filled with a protective material, and sealed.
A temporary or permanent seal is placed. Usually, a crown is fitted to fully restore strength and structure.

Once treatment is complete, your pain is gone and your natural tooth stays in place. You'll enjoy a healthy bite for years to come. Schedule your appointment for root canals in Portland. Don't let tooth pain disrupt your health or your life.

Dr. Kaady is a compassionate listener but also communicates directly about your dental needs - no ambiguity whatsoever. I was a reluctant and fearful patient BEFORE seeing Dr. Kaady. Three crowns later, I think Dr. Kaady is quite amazing: fast, efficient while tending to my anxieties about pain...

As someone who has a level of anxiety around dental work, Dr. Kaady and his team put you at ease with their demeanor and by clearly outlining your treatment plan. I cannot recommend this crew enough. I have moved out of town but refuse to switch offices. I tell everyone I know to get in here.

Dr Kaady and all the staff that work with him at Bridgetown Dental are amazing. I have always had excellent care whether it is dental cleaning or something more serious like a filling or a crown. Not only is the atmosphere friendly but this is one of the most affordable dentists I have been to.

Can't say much more than that they are great! My son was treated for broken front teeth some years ago. They did such an impressive job that I decided to change dentists. Great people, and excellent work! Best dentist and assistants I have ever had!

Why have a root canal?

A root canal allows you to preserve a natural tooth that's been affected by deep decay, inflammation, or infection in the pulp. Rather than removing the tooth, Dr. Kaady gently removes the source of the problem, disinfects the area, and seals the tooth to restore its strength and function. This conservative approach helps you avoid more complex issues like shifting teeth, jawbone loss, or additional infection.

Are root canals painful?

Modern techniques make the root canal procedure surprisingly comfortable. Most patients say it feels similar to getting a filling. Dr. Kaady uses a gentle touch and local anesthetic to ensure the area is fully numb before treatment begins. For added peace of mind, we also offer dental sedation to help you feel relaxed throughout the process. Root canal therapy is designed to relieve pain, not cause it.

What does a root canal do?

A root canal removes infection or inflammation from the soft inner portion of the tooth, known as the pulp, so your natural tooth can be preserved. Dr. Kaady carefully accesses the pulp through the top of the tooth. Then he removes the damaged tissue, disinfects the area, and shapes and seals the canals. This treatment relieves pain, protects surrounding teeth from infection, and restores your ability to chew and function comfortably.
