Save Your Natural Teeth

Root canal therapy is a tooth-saving procedure that eliminates infection and preserves your natural tooth structure. At Myrtle Grove Implant & Family Dentistry, Dr. Graves uses advanced techniques and technology to perform comfortable, effective root canal treatments. Despite their reputation, modern root canals are typically no more uncomfortable than receiving a filling, and they can provide immediate relief from dental pain.
