Root Canal Treatment in Garden Grove, CA
What is Root Canal Treatment

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is a procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, known as the pulp, to eliminate pain, stop the spread of infection, and preserve the natural tooth structure. Once the inner canals are cleaned and sealed, a crown is typically placed to restore full strength and function. Dr. Brandon Skenandore and Dr. Iris Skenandore work alongside our in-house endodontist, Dr. Nathaniel Tsai, so every patient receives expert, coordinated care from diagnosis through final restoration. Choosing root canal treatment over extraction is almost always the better long-term decision. Most patients find the experience far easier than its reputation suggests.

The Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Relieves Pain

Root canal treatment eliminates the source of infection, providing meaningful and lasting relief from intense tooth pain.

Tooth Preservation

Preserving your original tooth maintains your bite strength, jaw health, and the natural alignment of surrounding teeth.

Stops Infection

Left untreated, a tooth infection can spread to neighboring teeth, the jawbone, and beyond — root canal treatment stops it at the source.

Restores Function

With a properly placed crown following treatment, a root canal-treated tooth can function just like any other tooth for many years.

Our Root Canal Treatment Process

From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.

Request an Appointment
  1. 01

    Evaluation & Planning

    Our dentists will review your X-rays and symptoms, confirm the diagnosis, and walk you through your personalized treatment plan.

  2. 02

    Comfortable Preparation

    The area is thoroughly numbed before we begin — nitrous oxide is also available for patients who want extra reassurance.

  3. 03

    Cleaning & Sealing

    The infected pulp is carefully removed, the canals are shaped and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection.

  4. 04

    Custom Restoration

    A custom crown is placed over the treated tooth to fully protect and restore it to normal strength and appearance.

Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment

Notice any of these? Schedule a visit — early care is easier care.

Persistent Toothache

Deep, throbbing pain in a specific tooth that lingers or intensifies is one of the most common signs of pulp infection.

Prolonged Sensitivity

Sensitivity to heat or cold that doesn't fade after the source is removed may indicate nerve involvement inside the tooth.

Tooth Darkening

A tooth that has visibly darkened or changed color can signal damage or dying tissue within the pulp.

Swollen Gums

Localized swelling, tenderness, or a small pimple-like bump on the gumline near a tooth often points to an abscess.

Pain When Chewing

Consistent discomfort when biting down or applying pressure to a specific tooth warrants a closer look from our dentists.

Cracked or Chipped Tooth

A fracture that reaches deep into the tooth structure can expose the pulp to bacteria and lead to infection over time.

I had a root canal by Dr Tsai . He was amazing. I literally had no pain during the procedure! Afterward Dr Skenandore prepared the same tooth for a crown. I am very pleased with the care and treatment I received.

Still true! Best dental care ever. I love Dr. Brandon, and all the staff. They are the best. Something a bit off-putting was that insurance person in the front office asked for a deposit for root canal scheduled 7 months from now. I will pay it shortly, but this could have waited until my next scheduled cleaning in 5 months.

Outstanding Dentists! Drs. Brandon and Iris Skenandor have taken over the office of Curtis Platt in West Garden Grove. I took my broken tooth to Brandon, who squeezed me in same day, sorted me out with a temporary crown - and no root canal by the way - and it has not bothered me since. He and Iris are friendly, professional, and welcoming new patients. Very casual and fun atmosphere, with the latest equipment. Clearly a home run! I have found my new permanent dentist.

Dr Brendon and his whole staff are always great. Dr Brendon is highly knowledgeable, skilled and real accommodating to my special dental needs as I am getting older and have concerns with receding gums and tooth sensitivities. I am grateful that I can trust westgrove dental and that Dr Branden is young enough to continue with my dental needs into my older years. And the new office remodel is beautiful and just minutes from my College Park East home.

My filling fell out while eating a salad, and after my (now ex) dentist told me he wouldn’t be able to see me right away, I found the wonderful Doctors and Staff at Westgrove Dental! Not only did they see me same day they were so friendly and easy to work with! Thank you so much for all you do!
