Root Canal Therapy

If you’re experiencing deep tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or discomfort when chewing, a root canal may be the solution that saves your natural tooth. At Marina Klappas DDS, P.C., we perform gentle, modern root canal therapy designed to relieve pain and protect your tooth for years to come.

A root canal treats infection or inflammation inside the tooth. When the inner nerve becomes damaged due to decay, trauma, or a cracked tooth, bacteria can spread and cause severe pain. Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue, disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent future issues.

Root canals are typically completed in one visit. We numb the area thoroughly (most patients say it feels like getting a filling), remove the infected tissue, and clean the inside of the tooth. Once sealed, the tooth is restored with a filling or crown to protect it long‑term. Most patients feel relief immediately after treatment.

Dr. Klappas uses advanced techniques and calming communication to make root canal therapy comfortable and predictable. We focus on saving your natural tooth whenever possible and ensuring you understand each step of the process.

We serve patients throughout Williston Park, East Williston, Mineola, Roslyn, and the greater Long Island community seeking gentle, effective endodontic care.
