Our HoursRoot canal therapy scares a lot of people! There’s no need to be frightened at Davenport Dental Group. Our root canals at our Winfield location in Laredo are comfortable, quick, and routine. With an infected tooth, the only alternative to a root canal is extraction. Keeping your natural tooth offers several advantages:
If you think your tooth is infected, call Davenport Dental Group right away at 956-517-2695. If you’re in pain, we’ll do our best to offer you same-day emergency care.
Advanced decay is the most common root canal cause. When your tooth becomes infected, you may experience dental pain, swollen gums, facial swelling, a discolored tooth, sensitivity to heat and cold, and difficulty chewing.
Some people fear seeking treatment for an infected tooth because they’re afraid the treatment will hurt. But they’re wrong! The pain doesn’t come from the root canal procedure. During your treatment, we:
Once all of the decay has been removed from your tooth, we’ll protect it by covering it with a dental crown. Most dental offices require you to wear a temporary crown while your new one is manufactured at an off-site lab, a process that usually takes several days. We use CEREC technology to design and make a same-day crown for you right in our office. There’s no need to wait for your restoration!
For root canals at our Winfield location in Laredo, call Davenport Dental Group at 956-517-2695.
Normally the pain comes from the nerve of the tooth. So root canals is removing the nerve and whatever bacteria is present there. That’s an excellent option to relieve pain and to protect the bone from getting an infection. Our goal is to maintain the tooth and save the tooth. That would be the best option. So, if you’re having a toothache, give us a call so we can see what treatment is best for you.
I had my new patient visit with Dr. Martin. She was so sweet and helpful. Jo was the young lady who greeted me walking in. She was extremely welcoming and friendly, always making sure I was doing okay or if I had any questions. Roxane was the hygienist assigned to me. She was kind, very thorough and walked me through everything she did. I had a very pleasant experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone. 😊
I love coming to Davenport Dental. My hygienist Roxanne was great. Front staff is always great and helpful. I love the personal attention given to the customers. I love the fact that they call you if anyone cancels so they can accommodate you in a more timely fashion. Thank You for always making my experience to the Dentist a good one.
Davenport Dental Group on Junction Dr. has an AMAZING staff! Everyone is so friendly and efficient! I never had to wait more than 5 min in their lobby. When you make an appointment to be seen at a certain time they keep their word! Which is a nice change for me. Highly recommend! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I’d give 5+ if it were available. I’ve been coming to Davenport Dental for around 17 years (I think a little longer?). I mentioned to all the Michelles (😉) up front in administration area after today’s appointment, that if all doctors offices were like this practice, health care would be amazing (not just dental care – which is important for our overall health!). I’m an “older” patient (😆), been through at least 5 dentists over the past 6 decades (I keep ’em until I move) & Davenport Dental is *the* best. Even now that it’s the awesome Dr. Martin & not the awesome Dr. Davenport (the dad; hopefully having fun in retirement?), the quality of service & care continues to be top notch. I’ve paid attention through the years at Davenport to how both patients & staff are treated. Staff is consistently professional, friendly, & helpful. The dental assistants are given regular training to keep them up to date in the field. If employees are treated w/ respect, which Davenport Dental ‘s employees seem to be, that gets paid forward to how the patients are treated. And going to the dentist is the least favorite of my health care visits – I just don’t like having my mouth worked on – so it helps to have a great team & positive environment. Thanks, Davenport Dental!🦷🧚
Excellent service! The whole staff is amazing. I used to hate going to the dentist. My uncle always took care of any and all work I ever needed growing up. After he passed it was hard to find an office that did great work from the simplest to the most complicated procedures. I can honestly say I feel at home at this office. From day one. Thank you guys!!
As always, constant professionalism and a welcoming environment. If you are like I was and dreaded going to the dentist, give Davenport Dental Group one chance. They will change your mind on your first visit. We’ve had services performed by different staff and the performance is consistently flawless. The office is extremely clean and disinfectants are readily available.
Definitely recommend Davenport Dental! They provide excellent service every single time I visit. My hygienist Miguel is awesome! He’s always been very patient, gentle and informative. Very satisfied with their services overall!
Highly recommend Davenport Dental. Very professional and caring staff. From the front desk to when you’re seen by the doctor, you feel welcomed. Being that I get extremely anxious over procedures, I’m thankful to have found the perfect place.
Excellent service. All the staff is very friendly and helpful. We always get seen in a very timely manner. Doctor Davenport always our questions and addresses any concerns we might have. 100 percent recommended.
My family and I have been patients with Dr. Davenport for about 8 years. Everyone is so attentive and professional. The Dentist is awesome! We are extremely happy and pleased with the treatment and service. I highly recommend them :-)!!
Yes, pain brought on by an infected tooth is one of the biggest reasons to have a root canal. Your dentist will eliminate the infected pulp from inside your tooth that has likely been giving you tooth pain. Eliminating the infection allows you to preserve your tooth as opposed to extracting it, the only other option for therapy.
Root canals have somehow gained a track record as an excruciating treatment. The reality is they normally aren’t any more unpleasant than having a filling placed. We numb your mouth with local anesthesia and can provide you with laughing gas, which allows you to stay calm and relaxed throughout your treatment.
Yes, the great news is it’s unlikely you’ll ever require a root canal if you take care of your teeth. Infection generally gets in a tooth through extreme decay or a fracture or break, which requires a root canal. Repairing a cavity or other damage as quickly as possible should avoid the need for root canal treatment.
