Root Canal Therapy
in Sylvania, OH
When tooth decay or infection threatens the health of your tooth, extraction isn’t always the only option. At Maley Family Dental in Sylvania, OH, we offer root canal therapy as a reliable solution to save your natural tooth and relieve pain. Our experienced team uses modern techniques to perform root canals comfortably and efficiently, helping you preserve your smile.
Root canal therapy involves carefully removing the infected or damaged pulp from the interior of your tooth, cleaning and reshaping the canal, and filling it with a durable dental material. Once completed, the tooth is typically protected with a custom crown to restore both strength and function. This procedure not only eliminates pain and infection but also helps you maintain your natural bite and appearance.

What to Know About Root Canal Therapy
What is a root canal?
A root canal is a restorative dental procedure designed to remove infected or damaged issue from inside a tooth. It’s often recommended when decay or trauma affects the tooth’s pulp (nerve tissue), causing pain or risking the loss of the tooth.
Why choose a root canal instead of extraction?
Root canal therapy is an effective alternative to extraction because it allows you to retain your natural tooth rather than replacing it with an implant or bridge. Preserving your natural teeth helps maintain your bite alignment and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting.
Is the procedure painful?
Modern root canal therapy at Maley Family Dental is designed to be as comfortable as possible. Local anesthesia ensures that you don’t feel pain during the procedure. Our patients often say it’s similar to getting a filling!
What happens after a root canal?
After the root canal is completed, we place a protective crown over the treated tooth to restore its strength and function. The crown helps to protect the tooth from future damage. Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups help your restored tooth last for many years.
How do I care for my tooth after a root canal?
It’s easier than you think:
- Brush and floss regularly to maintain oral hygiene
- Avoid chewing on hard objects to protect the crown
- Schedule follow-up visits to ensure your restoration stays intact
