Root canal therapy, a fundamental aspect of endodontic treatment, is often misunderstood. At Irvine Endodontics, under the expert care of Dr. Omid Dianat, we aim to demystify this crucial dental procedure, highlighting its importance in preserving oral health and well-being. Located in Irvine, CA, our clinic specializes in advanced endodontic treatments, ensuring our patients’ highest standard of care.
The Essence of Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it, and then filling and sealing it. The common causes for this damage can be deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth.
Why Choose Root Canal Therapy?
The primary goal of root canal therapy is to save a natural tooth, thereby avoiding the need for extraction and subsequent replacement treatments, which can be more complex and costly. Preserving a natural tooth through root canal therapy maintains the natural alignment of teeth, ensures efficient chewing, and protects other teeth from excessive wear or strain.

- Restoration: Finally, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling for protection and to restore it to full function.
The Impact of Root Canal Therapy on Dental Health

It not only resolves pain and infection but also plays a vital role in maintaining the structural integrity of the jaw and the alignment of surrounding teeth. By opting for root canal therapy, patients invest in their long-term oral health, preventing more serious complications down the line.
