Crowns and Root Canal Dentist in Chapel Hill

There are instances when a tooth may fracture or have too much existing filling material to be able to support another filling. In this situation a porcelain or gold crown may be necessary to restore the tooth to proper form and function.

Root canal treatment is probably the most maligned of all dental procedures, but the reputation of pain typically associated with “having a root canal” is really not deserved. For the majority of people who will undergo root canal treatment the process itself will be no more involved than having a filling placed. Root canal treatment refers to the process by which a dentist treats the inner aspects of a tooth, specifically that area inside a tooth that is occupied by its pulp tissue.
