Root Canal Therapy near Hollywood, FL

Q: How long does a root canal take?

Most root canals are completed in one or two appointments lasting 60 to 90 minutes. Complex cases may require additional time. Crown placement is scheduled as a separate follow-up appointment.

Q: What happens if I don't get a root canal?

Left untreated, a pulp infection will worsen, potentially spreading to surrounding bone, causing an abscess, and resulting in tooth loss. Prompt treatment is always the better outcome compared to extraction.

A root canal has a reputation it does not deserve. Modern endodontic treatment is comfortable, routine, and tooth-saving — the procedure removes the source of your pain rather than causing it. At Haratz Dental, Hollywood patients are discovering a gentler approach to root canal therapy that prioritizes your comfort at every step.

Haratz Dental serves Hollywood residents from our boutique Aventura practice, where Dr. Adela Haratz and our endodontic team bring more than 40 years of restorative expertise to every case. Our root canal treatments are performed with advanced digital imaging and laser-assisted techniques, sedation options, and a warm clinical environment designed to make even complex procedures feel manageable. These services are part of the complete dental care near Hollywood we provide for patients throughout South Florida.

According to the American Association of Endodontists, root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from an infected root canal system, prevent reinfection, and save the natural tooth. The procedure has a very high success rate and is far less uncomfortable than most patients expect — especially when performed with modern anesthesia and sedation techniques. Saving a natural tooth through root canal therapy is almost always preferable to extraction, because it preserves the jawbone structure, bite integrity, and surrounding teeth.

About Root Canal Therapy

What Is a Root Canal
and When Is It Needed?

Root canal treatment is required when the pulp inside a tooth — the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels — becomes infected or severely inflamed. This most commonly results from deep decay that has reached the inner chamber, a cracked tooth that allows bacteria to enter, or a traumatic injury. Left untreated, a pulp infection can spread to the surrounding bone, cause an abscess, and ultimately lead to tooth loss.

Common signs that a root canal may be needed include persistent toothache, sharp pain when biting or applying pressure, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling or tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth, and tooth discoloration. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms near Hollywood, we encourage you to contact our team as soon as possible — prompt treatment significantly improves outcomes and reduces the need for more complex procedures later.

"It is common for patients to experience varying levels of anxiety before dental implant surgery."

The Treatment Experience

Comfortable, Precise,
and Designed to Save Your Tooth

During the procedure, the tooth is numbed with local anesthesia. We then create a small access opening in the crown of the tooth, remove the infected or inflamed pulp tissue, carefully clean and shape the root canals, and seal the space with a biocompatible filling material. In most cases, the tooth will require a dental crown afterward to protect and restore its structure. Our team coordinates that next step seamlessly, so you leave with a clear plan and a timeline for full restoration.

Patients are often surprised by how manageable the experience feels. With effective anesthesia and our calm, unhurried approach — including Netflix and noise-canceling headphones in every treatment room — most Hollywood patients find the appointment far less eventful than they anticipated.

Once the root canal is complete and the tooth is protected with a final crown, it should function exactly like a natural tooth. With proper care it can last a lifetime. For patients who need emergency same-day treatment, we make every effort to accommodate urgent appointments so tooth pain does not go unaddressed. If you are experiencing symptoms and are not sure whether a root canal is needed, a complimentary second opinion is always available at our Aventura practice.

"Each patient may have a different experience based on several factors. These include the number of teeth we are replacing, the type of implant, and the patient's overall oral health."

FAQs

Root Canal Therapy Questions Answered

Is a root canal painful?

With modern anesthesia and sedation options, root canal treatment is typically no more uncomfortable than a routine filling. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the experience feels. The tooth pain you felt before the procedure is almost always worse than the procedure itself.

Does dental insurance cover root canal treatment near Hollywood?

Yes. Most major PPO dental insurance plans provide coverage for root canal therapy. Coverage typically applies to the procedure itself and the subsequent crown needed to protect the tooth. We verify your specific benefits before your appointment.

How long does a root canal take?

Most root canals can be completed in one or two appointments, typically lasting 60 to 90 minutes. Complex cases or teeth with curved canals may require additional time. A follow-up appointment for crown placement is usually scheduled separately.

What happens if I don't get a root canal?

Left untreated, a pulp infection will continue to worsen. It can spread to the surrounding bone, cause an abscess, and ultimately result in tooth loss. Infection can also spread systemically in severe cases. Prompt treatment is always the better outcome compared to extraction and tooth replacement.
