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.
If you are experiencing tooth pain, do not hesitate to call us! At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Pineville, our dental team offers affordable, high-quality dental care to prevent, diagnose, and treat dental problems and to keep your smile radiant.

I am very happy for all the service in this place I was sad and disappointed I did not smile and I wore a mask all the time I could not even take photos but I regained my security with such a good job thank you very much for being so kind and understanding my situation and making a work have excellent
I’ve been going here for going on maybe 6 1/2 years, when it was still Royce Family Dentistry— even after moving out of the area I literally drive over 1 hour 10 minutes ONE WAY (with no traffic, so more if there is any) so a total of 2 hours and 20 minutes round-trip just because of how amazing every single person in that office is. They have treated me like family and like I’m important to them from day one. They have went above and beyond for me. and you just don’t find places like that anymore. I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for them and I’ve definitely can’t recommend any place more than I do Radiant Smiles. 🦷 ♥️
Incredible! Staff are friendly and greatly care for their patients. When you go here, you aren't just a number. Their team works together very well, and it's evident that everyone on staff is happy. Dentist's take time to listen to your needs. I had a ton of special requests, and had to get a lot of dental work done. Each staff member, including the Dentist, Receptionist, Specialist, Hygienist, took great care to listen to me and make me feel at ease. I wasn't the easiest patient, but they never gave me any grief, which I am extremely thankful for. I appreciate them very much and recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist.
Love the atmosphere, it’s super clean & the best staff. We feel so welcoming every time we come for our check ups. I highly recommend this dental office 🤩
Found this place on Google, called and got on schedule. Best dentistry ever. Everyone is super friendly, they make you feel comfortable and discuss all options for a treatment plan based on dental needs and comfort. I highly recommend them.
I had a gnarly bite that was off after a four-filling day a few weeks ago. My whole jaw was in agony. Pain that was keeping me up at night, impossible to eat or drink. I thought to myself this can’t be right. I went to the dentist who did the fillings and they told me to just rub some sensodyne on it and come back in a week. What? So in comes Radiant Smiles with their awesome customer service (Looking at you, Shannon!). The nice tech comes in and I explain the situation to her and then the doc comes in and finds the place where my bite is misaligned. Got me some medicine to heal the bruising and inflammation caused by the other negligent dentist and an hour later I have so much relief. I’m so thankful for yall at Radiant Smiles!
Great place to get dental work. Dr. Okons and the rest of the staff are very friendly. I had a recent extraction that got complicated when an infection was found. Dr. Okons immediately prepared perscriptions and a referral for an oral surgeon to fix it. They were very kind throughout the experience and tried accomodating me every way they could during the appointment. While they couldn't finish this particular extraction I'll be going back for whatever work I need. Their patient care is the best and worth it.
Staff is wonderful very friendly 😊 and work with your dental anxiety and understand ! They found nothing wrong and didn't try to make me have work done I didn't need so they are extremely honest with great integrity 👏
These two women that helped me were so sweet, fun, and easy to talk to!!😭 I only got Morgan’s name, and I never really write reviews but they were just so awesome I needed to leave one 🫶
This was by far the most comfortable experience I have ever had at a dental office in over 40 years. The result is the first Google review I have ever felt inspired to write. If you are looking for a superior dental care experience Radiant Smiles is the place to go. The dentists are highly knowledgeable but also very personable. I was very impressed by the dentist who did my dental work, Dr. Desameau and his team. If you have deep roots, are not easily numbed, or require top-level care, this is the place to go. I have lived in multiple countries and multiple states and received dental care around the world. I can say with conviction that Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry truly delivers world-class care. I'll save you the 40-year search, look no further, this is the team you want caring for your teeth. I am very grateful to the friend who told me about this hidden gem of a dental office. I didn't expect to find such superior service in Charlotte, but I'm very glad that I did.
