If your tooth had extensive decay, your doctor may suggest placing a crown to strengthen and protect the tooth from breakage. As long as you continue to care for your teeth and gums with regular brushing, flossing, and checkups, your restored tooth can last a lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_text_color=”#90C33E” text_font_size=”22px” text_letter_spacing=”3px” text_line_height=”1em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n TEETH THAT REQUIRE ENDODONTIC TREATMENT ARE NOT ALWAYS PAINFUL.

For example, if your insurance policy has a 80% coverage for root canals, and the total cost of the procedure is $1,000, you would be responsible for paying the remaining $200.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s always a good idea to check with your insurance company ahead of time to find out what your coverage is for root canal therapy.

In Houston, a root canal can relieve persistent tooth pain, remove infection, and save a damaged tooth that might otherwise need extraction. It allows patients to keep their natural tooth structure while restoring comfort and function.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What symptoms indicate I might need a root canal in Houston?” icon_color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Common signs that you might need a root canal include intense toothache when chewing or touching the tooth, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling or tenderness in nearby gums, or a recurring pimple on the gum.

The root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected, then filled and sealed to prevent future infection. Finally, a dental crown may be placed to restore the tooth\u2019s strength and appearance.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is a root canal painful in Houston?” icon_color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Most patients report that a root canal at Complete Dental in Houston feels similar to having a routine filling. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, so discomfort is minimized.

When a tooth is cracked or has a deep cavity, bacteria can enter the pulp tissue and germs can cause an infection inside the tooth. If left untreated, an abscess may form. If the infected tissue is not removed, pain and swelling can result. This can not only injure your jawbones, but it is detrimental to your overall health. Without the proper treatment, your tooth may have to be removed.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” admin_label=”CAT Row 1″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” width_tablet=”” width_phone=”90%” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_margin=”||50px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||30px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||30px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f4f4f4″ custom_padding=”50px|20px|50px|20px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”30px||30px||true|true” custom_padding_phone=”|15px||15px|true|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_vertical=”1px” box_shadow_blur=”9px” box_shadow_vertical_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” box_shadow_vertical__hover_enabled=”off|desktop”][et_pb_blurb title=”WHAT ARE THE SIGNS THAT A ROOT CANAL IS NEEDED?” image=”https:\/\/completedental.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/x-ray.png” image_icon_width=”150px” icon_alignment=”left” content_max_width=”100%” icon_placement_tablet=”top” icon_placement_phone=”top” icon_placement_last_edited=”off|phone” image_icon_width_tablet=”100%” image_icon_width_phone=”100%” image_icon_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”–et_global_heading_font|700|||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_text_color=”#0b9444″ header_font_size=”26px” header_line_height=”1.3em” body_font=”–et_global_body_font||||||||” body_text_align=”left” body_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.77)” body_font_size=”18px” image_icon_custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|true” image_icon_custom_padding=”0px|20px|0px|20px|true|true” image_icon_custom_padding_tablet=”|0px||0px|true|true” image_icon_custom_padding_phone=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” image_icon_custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|true” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|true” animation=”off” body_font_size_tablet=”” body_font_size_phone=”16px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Teeth that require root canal therapy are not always painful.

During treatment, your general dentist or endodontist (a dentist who specializes in problems with the nerves of the teeth) removes the affected tissue. Next, the tissue will be removed and the interior of the tooth will be cleaned and sealed. Finally, the tooth is filled with a dental composite. If your tooth had extensive decay, your doctor may suggest placing a crown to strengthen and protect the tooth from breakage. As long as you continue to care for your teeth and gums with regular brushing, flossing, and checkups, your restored tooth can last a lifetime.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f4f4f4″ custom_padding=”50px|20px|50px|20px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”30px||30px||true|true” custom_padding_phone=”|15px||15px|true|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_vertical=”1px” box_shadow_blur=”9px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”TEETH THAT REQUIRE ENDODONTIC TREATMENT ARE NOT ALWAYS PAINFUL.

How much will it cover from your total fee?<\/p>\n Root canal therapy is usually covered by most dental insurance companies. However, the amount they cover will vary depending on your individual policy. Most policies will cover a portion of the cost, with the patient being responsible for any remaining balance. For example, if your insurance policy has a 80% coverage for root canals, and the total cost of the procedure is $1,000, you would be responsible for paying the remaining $200.<\/p>\n It’s always a good idea to check with your insurance company ahead of time to find out what your coverage is for root canal therapy. That way, you can be prepared financially for the procedure.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”50px|20px|50px|20px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”30px||30px||true|true” custom_padding_phone=”|15px||15px|true|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_vertical=”1px” box_shadow_blur=”9px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”IN NEED OF A ROOT CANAL IN HOUSTON?
