When tooth pain makes it hard to eat, sleep, or concentrate, it could mean the inner tissue of your tooth—called the pulp—is infected or inflamed. Root canal therapy is a precise treatment that removes infection, relieves pain, and saves your natural tooth from extraction.
As part of general dental care, DiQuattro Advanced Dentistry provides high-quality root canal treatment for patients in Scottsdale and Phoenix. Dr. Ryan DiQuattro uses advanced technology and a gentle approach to make the process efficient and virtually pain-free.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal treats infection inside the tooth caused by deep decay, cracks, or trauma. The procedure removes the damaged pulp, cleans and disinfects the canal, and seals it to prevent future infection. This restores the tooth’s health and structure while maintaining your natural bite alignment.
Root canal therapy can save a tooth that might otherwise require extraction and replacement with an implant or bridge.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment

If any of these symptoms occur, prompt evaluation helps prevent worsening infection and protects surrounding teeth.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Root canal treatment typically takes one or two appointments. After a detailed exam and digital imaging, Dr. DiQuattro gently numbs the area to ensure complete comfort. The infected pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored—often with a dental crown for added strength.
After treatment, mild tenderness may occur for a day or two, but most patients return to normal activity almost immediately.
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Root canal treatment offers several advantages over extraction:
When properly restored and maintained, a treated tooth can last as long as your natural teeth.
