Root Canal Therapy
Comfort-first endodontic care
At Grove Smiles® Dentistry in Coconut Grove, FL, root canal therapy (endodontic treatment) is redesigned for comfort and confidence. With advanced imaging, microsurgical precision, and a warm, concierge-style experience, we remove infection, relieve pain, and preserve your natural tooth—so your smile stays healthy, strong, and stunning.
When You Might Need a Root Canal
You may benefit from root canal therapy if you have any of the following:
- Persistent or throbbing toothache
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
- Gum swelling, tenderness, or a pimple-like bump (fistula)
- Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
- A cracked, deeply decayed, or previously treated tooth that’s reinfected
If you’re unsure, we’ll evaluate with 3D imaging (CBCT) and gentle diagnostic tests to confirm exactly what you need.
Our Comfort-First, Luxury Experience
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the difference. Expect:
- Warm, attentive team that explains every step.
- Precision imaging (CBCT) for meticulous care.
- Comfort options, including local anesthesia and calming techniques.
Our goal is simple: get you out of pain and protect your natural teeth—beautifully and comfortably.
What Happens During a Root Canal?
- During your root canal treatment, our team focuses on precision, comfort, and care at every step. After confirming your diagnosis, the area is gently numbed, and we carefully access and clean the infected canals before sealing them to protect the tooth and prevent future infection. To restore strength and longevity, a custom crown is often recommended. Throughout the process, our expert team uses the latest cutting-edge technology to enhance accuracy, comfort, and outcomes—so you can enjoy lasting relief and renewed confidence in your smile.
Aftercare & Recovery
- Mild soreness for 1–2 days is normal; over‑the‑counter relief usually helps.
- Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until your crown is placed.
- Keep your follow-up to complete the final restoration (usually a crown).
Staying current with hygiene visits helps your tooth stay healthy for years to come.

How long does it take?
Many cases take about 60–90 minutes; complex teeth can take longer or require a second visit.
Will I need a crown?
Often, yes—especially for premolars and molars. A crown protects the tooth from fracture and helps your result last.
