At Rugby Dental Arts, our endodontic care focuses on saving natural teeth, relieving pain, and restoring comfort. Led by Dr. Gregory Cox, our team uses advanced diagnostics and gentle techniques so patients in Charlottesville, VA can feel confident at every step.
What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics treats the tooth’s inner pulp and roots. When deep decay, cracks, or trauma reach the nerve, a root canal can remove infection, preserve the tooth, and prevent further damage.
When a Root Canal May Be Recommended
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- Pain when chewing or biting
- Swelling, tenderness, or a pimple on the gums
- Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
How Treatment Works
- Comfort & Diagnosis: Digital imaging helps Dr. Cox assess the tooth and plan care.
- Gentle Cleaning: Infected pulp is removed and the canals are disinfected.
- Seal & Protect: Canals are sealed and the tooth is restored—often with a crown for strength.
Benefits of Endodontic Care
- Stops infection and pain at the source
- Preserves your natural bite and smile
- Prevents shifting and more extensive treatment later
