Root Canals in Waldorf, MD

Save your tooth and get out of pain!

What Is a Root Canal?

A treatment used to remove pain-causing infection from inside your tooth.

If your tooth is severely decayed or has an infection, you may need root canal therapy.

A root canal treatment removes your tooth’s pulp, the soft tissue inside your tooth, to prevent infection from spreading to other parts of your body and to save the healthy parts of your natural tooth.

Common signs you need a root canal include:

  • Pain when eating or applying pressure

  • Darkening tooth color

  • Sensitivity to hot or cold

  • Tender or swollen gums

Single-Visit Root Canals

Extreme tooth pain? That's a root canal symptom!

There’s a common misconception that root canal procedures are painful. But the truth is, the infection inside your tooth is what causes severe tooth pain, which can result in an emergency root canal (and more money) if left untreated.

That’s why our restorative dentists offer complete root canal treatment in one visit. In fact, many patients state they felt immediate pain relief following the appointment.

What are the steps for a root canal?

Here’s a general overview of single-visit root canals in Waldorf, MD:

  • Numb your tooth: We’ll make sure you are comfortable and do not feel pain.

  • Remove the infection: We’ll create a small opening in your tooth to access and remove the pulp along with bacteria, decayed nerve tissue, and debris. Then we will thoroughly clean and disinfect it. There is no feeling during this process, and it’s okay to fall asleep if you get bored.

  • Fill and seal your tooth: We’ll fill your pulp chamber to prevent reinfection of your tooth. Once it’s safe, we will seal the opening.

  • Restore your tooth: In most cases, you will need a crown placed over your tooth to restore its appearance and functionality.

It will look and feel like a natural tooth!

Root Canal vs. Extraction

See why patients and dentists recommend root canals instead of extracting your tooth.

It's Cheaper

An extraction may appear cheaper upfront, but replacing your tooth will cost you more, and the problems with missing a tooth can be costly. Therefore, root canals are cost-effective long-term!

Keeps Your Smile Intact

“One Appointment”
‘‘Both a dentist and an endodontist told my wife she couldn't save her molar. Dr. Silberman was able to make her a CEREC (ceramic) crown in one appointment and saved the tooth. He is wonderful with patients, explains everything, and is very reassuring. Can't say enough positive things about him and his staff.’’

Maurice K. (Actual Silberman Patient)

‘‘These guys are great! I went through a nightmare of a root canal at another dentist, so I was terrified. They did wonderfully. Kept me calm, and completed it in half the time of the previous one! So happy I found them!’’

Janice C. (Actual Silberman Patient)

‘‘The Silberman team is not only expert dentists but also artists. I experienced a cleaning, being educated on effective dental hygiene, as well as a complicated root canal. There was no pain, and the computer-designed permanent crown that they made in a matter of minutes fit perfectly the first time, also very natural-looking. Thanks for being there for me, Silberman team. I will return!’’
