When it comes to common dental procedures, “root canal” always seems to be the phrase that sends a shiver down patients’ spines and leaves them reluctant to pursue care. Well, we’re happy to be the ones to tell you here at D’Amico and Mauck, DDS that this procedure’s current bad reputation is completely unwarranted. While in the past, root canal therapy may have been more needlessly invasive and painful, today’s advanced anesthesia options and technologies have rendered the process into a smooth one. In fact, severely damaged or decayed teeth that are on the very brink of extraction can be rescued and brought back to full form and functionality! Here in Aurora, Drs. D’Amico and Mauck understand how important it is to preserve as many of your natural teeth as possible – that’s why our team is happy to offer root canal therapy, a truly transformative procedure that can help keep your smile safe and whole for years to come.
How does root canal therapy work?
We’ll start by creating an opening in the affected tooth and cleaning bacteria and diseased pulp out of the canals. Then, we’ll thoroughly seal off the area so that further infection can’t affect it. Finally, we’ll restore the structure with a beautiful, personalized crown. Once we’re finished, it’ll be difficult to tell that there was anything wrong with the tooth in the first place!
Are you sure it’s not scary?
You’ll feel reassured to hear that most patients who experience root canal therapy report that the procedure hurts no more than receiving a common filling does. In fact, the process has a very high success rate, and many teeth that are treated go on to last a lifetime with the proper care.

Losing a tooth is often considered one of the most devastating dental injuries. After all, not only is your oral health compromised (an increased risk of periodontal disease and additional tooth loss are common consequences), but your self-image suffers a blow too, making it difficult to even leave your house, much less interact with people in professional and social settings for fear of embarrassment. While traditional replacement solutions, such as dentures and bridges, are often available, many patients find themselves unsatisfied by their bulky, unnatural nature. While

When asked what they would most like to change about their smiles, many patients will immediately say that they wish it were whiter. After all, a beautifully bright smile can be a valuable asset in professional and social settings, implying success, attractiveness, confidence, and much more. Sadly, no matter how well some of us practice our oral hygiene routines, age, genetics, and even certain medications can turn our pearly whites into anything but. When that happens, you may find yourself reaching for that over-the-counter product that promises dramatic results for little cost.
