Choose Advanced Technology for Success

Dr. Michael Cusack is an experienced dentist who understands the important role that advanced technology plays in the efficiency and success of dental treatment.

We've invested in an enhanced surgical microscope that allows us to catch even the tiniest fractures in a tooth that other imaging methods may not detect.

Because of this dedication to advanced dental technology, we can perform more successful restorative treatments, like a root canal procedure, to treat infected teeth and save your smile.

Root canals aren't actually the cause of tooth pain. They end it!

Learn How Your Treatment Works

Here's a simple breakdown of how this process works.

If bacteria enters a small crack in your tooth, it can infect the soft tissues inside. This can cause intense, throbbing pain since it affects your tooth's root and nerves.

Dr. Cusack can carefully remove the infection and sanitize the tooth. He then fills and seals off the tooth with a protective crown to prevent future problems.

With the infection removed, you'll feel tremendous relief from pain and have a healthy smile again!

Protect Your Health 

Too often, people will suffer unnecessarily, from either pain or loss of oral function, because they're too anxious or fearful about getting the treatment they need. But this short-term avoidance will inevitably lead to long-term problems with your dental health.

Problems with your teeth won't correct themselves. Instead, they only get worse.

You don't want an oral infection to find its way into your bloodstream. Getting treatment from your restorative dentist is vital to saving your smile and your overall health. Don't let a nagging toothache make you miserable or put your health at risk.

Request an appointment at Junction Creek Family Dentistry. Our root canals in Durango, CO can relieve your pain and protect your teeth.

Common Questions About Root Canals

Are root canals painful?

We're happy to say that most of our root canal patients report no more pain than if they were getting a tooth filled. That's because we take great care to ensure a comfortable root canal treatment for you. We'll carefully numb the area we're working on so that you don't feel a thing. Plus, if you're exceptionally nervous about your procedure, Dr. Cusack can prescribe oral medication for you to take ahead of time.

Where can I get a root canal done?

With Dr. Cusack's advanced training, we offer great root canal treatment right here. There's no need to go to a specialist for your care. In addition, we also have an on-site surgical microscope that helps us deliver precise care with outstanding results. Because we take steps to minimize complications, you can feel like your old self soon afterward.

Are root canals necessary?

When the inner portion of the tooth, known as the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected, then a root canal procedure is necessary to remove the infection and protect the tooth. The alternatives would be either extracting the tooth, which could cause bone loss and allow other teeth to shift around, or simply doing nothing, which could put your healthy teeth and gums at risk for infection.
