Root Canal Therapy in Humble, TX
Modern root canal therapy at Clayton Dental Studio is a comfortable, effective way to save an infected or severely damaged tooth — relieving pain and preserving your natural smile.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy — also called endodontic treatment — is a procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and shapes the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent reinfection. Despite its reputation, modern root canal therapy is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.
At Clayton Dental Studio in Humble, TX, we use advanced techniques and technology to make root canal therapy as comfortable and efficient as possible. We serve patients throughout Humble, Atascocita, Kingwood, Spring, and Houston who need prompt relief from tooth pain.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
The Process
What Happens During Root Canal Therapy?
Examination & X-Rays
We evaluate the tooth with X-rays to assess the extent of infection and plan the procedure.
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area completely. You should feel no pain during the procedure.
Pulp Removal
The infected or inflamed pulp tissue is carefully removed from the tooth's interior through a small opening.
Cleaning & Shaping
The root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to remove all bacteria and infected tissue.
Sealing & Restoration
The canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed. A crown is typically placed to protect and restore the tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a root canal hurt?
Modern root canal therapy is performed under local anesthesia and is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the procedure is.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals are completed in one or two appointments, each lasting about 60–90 minutes depending on the complexity of the case.
What happens after a root canal?
Some soreness for a few days is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. A crown is typically recommended to protect the treated tooth.
Is it better to get a root canal or extract the tooth?
Saving your natural tooth is almost always the preferred option. Natural teeth function better than replacements and help preserve the jawbone. Root canal therapy allows you to keep your tooth for many more years.
