Root Canals
Ease Pain And Save Your Tooth
Your dentist uttered the dreaded dental phrase. You need a root canal. Root canal therapy carries misconceptions and negativity, but the treatment actually saves the tooth with the removal of damaged material. Plus, a root canal relieves the pain and inflammation coming from the tooth. At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer root canal treatment to patients in Pineville and the greater Charlotte area. Our goal is to treat and save your natural tooth while also relieving your pain.
Reasons For Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is often the recommended treatment for a badly decayed or infected tooth. When a tooth is infected or decayed, pain is usually the first sign of a problem. Infections may be caused by decay, a chip or break in the tooth, or other tooth trauma. When the damage spreads to the pulp of the tooth where the blood supply and nerves are, it causes pain and sensitivity in and around the tooth.
An infected tooth will not magically heal or go away. It should be treated in a timely fashion to contain the damage, keep the infection from spreading throughout the mouth, and ease your discomfort.
A root canal treats the infection and saves your natural tooth, thus protecting the health of your mouth.
Root Canal Treatment Expectations
If you are experiencing tooth pain or symptoms of an infection, call Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. An examination of the tooth, gums, and mouth is necessary to determine the extent of the problem.
A root canal is a routine procedure that can be performed in our Pineville office. During the procedure, the treatment area is numbed with local anesthetics to ensure patient comfort. Once numbed, the dentist uses special instruments to enter the tooth and remove bacteria, dead tissues, and infection-causing materials. The canals of the tooth are then sterilized to fully cleanse the area. This makes sure the bacteria and infection are truly gone.
A special endodontic material called gutta percha fills and seals the tooth preventing contamination. A crown is placed over the sealed tooth to protect it from further damage. The actual tooth root remains in place preserving the health of the jawbone.
Schedule A Consultation!
Forget your misconceptions about root canal therapy! The treatment is similar to filling a cavity. A root canal removes the infected material, relieves the inflammation, and eases your pain. Root canal therapy saves your natural tooth and preserves the health of your mouth by stopping the spread of decay or infection.

I love coming here! I always feel so comfortable!jaifisher
Love this establishment! I have anxiety when it comes to dental visits but my experience here has changed my perspective on dental health. My first visit was amazing. The front desk staff was welcoming and friendly. When I went back to get a wisdom tooth removed, Morgan was the greatest support system I’ve had during any medical procedure. Dr. Desameau was kind and compassionate at each visit. He exceeding my expectations. I’m actually looking forward to visiting the dentist now, which speaks volumes to the staff and care given here. Special thanks to Morgan, she deserves her flowers. Thank you Radiant Smiles. I’ll be back soon!StaciStayPoppin
My kids have been coming to RS for some years now, my wife and I had our first appointments today, and they did not disappoint! Terry (or Terri) hands down did most thorough cleaning I have EVER had, the office staff was courteous, professional, and discreet. A great experience and a new customer locked in!!!!Marcus Cuffee
I love this office! Dr. D and his staff are phenomenal and so nice. He came in and gave me my options and actually listened. They are tucked away in Pineville but definitely worth the visit!Dia Sanders
OMG! The ABSOLUTE BEST experience I have EVER had in a dental office. The office staff are delightful and welcoming. Tanya and Morgan are the absolute sweetest. No judgement only positivity. Everyone took their time to answer all of my questions and concerns. I have never felt so calm and reassured. The topping was meeting Dr. D! So sweet and gentle. They took such great care of me. Wish I had found them sooner. I am a patient for life!Michele Andrews
