Root Canals
Cypress, TX

First, your provider conducts an oral exam and takes a series of X-rays to assess the extent of the damage or decay. Next, they numb your mouth and remove the pulp from your tooth.

Your provider cleans your tooth and fills it with gutta-percha. Then, they take impressions of your tooth and put a temporary crown on top.

The team at Fair Lakes Family Dentistry Cypress sends your impressions to a dental laboratory. The lab uses your impressions to manufacture a permanent crown that fits your tooth perfectly.
