Find a LocationWhat is Root Canal Therapy?
Broken and deteriorating teeth are often corrected utilizing a filling or other type of restoration if they are discovered and managed in time. However, if the decay extends to the center of the tooth (also called the pulp), root canal treatment is occasionally required to restore dental function and save the tooth from removal. A root canal is a specialized procedure performed at Concerned Dental Care to remove diseased inner tooth tissue and strengthen the affected tooth to regain dental wellness. Our dental team treats infected or internally decayed teeth with gentle root canal treatment and provides sedation solutions to further increase patient comfort. If you have an extremely painful or abscessed tooth, get in touch with one of our New York City, NY offices today to discover if root canal treatment is right for you.
Are You a Candidate for a Root Canal?
Abscessed tooth pulp may be a result of extreme cavities, a major break, or an accident. We can provide an x-ray and perform an oral assessment to decide if a root canal or other procedure is necessary to relieve tooth discomfort and regain your dental wellness.
Common signs that can indicate the need for a root canal include:
- Sharp or dull toothaches
- Lasting dental discomfort
- Aching while chewing
- Sensitivity to elevated and cold temperatures
- Puffiness around the face or gums
- A large lump on the gum tissues
- Change in the color of a tooth after damage
Concerned Dental Care Reviews
They were able to squeeze me in for a root canal on the same day and help me fix my tooth. Service wait was a little long but I’d rather that than wait months ! Would recommend if you need a root canal !!!
This will be our 3rd time having to use Dr. Ortenberg, and thou we are not thrilled to get root canals , we actually prefer him doing the job. He makes it simple, almost painless , in and out , honest , easy peasy. The desk staff has always been attentive, helpful and super friendly. The assistants are our favorite, always smiles, ease our minds.
I was referred here to get a root canal and this place is great. When I came in the door I noticed the place is very clean and organized. The staff moved promptly and I wasn’t sitting there waiting forever to be called. All the staff was great. When I say all staff, I mean all the staff. Every single person I encountered was friendly & competent. You can tell they enjoy what they do & care about the needs of their patients. I just switched to make my PCD here.
All of the staff including the Doctor were wonderful and I was able to get an appointment quickly. I thought I needed a root canal and the Doctor confirmed that. The nice thing is that they do root canals in the office. Lots of other dentists make you go to someone else for root canals. I gave them a four instead of a five because their office could use a refresh. It’s looking well worn. The other reason is that they don’t have any parking and street parking is a little difficult to find. I got the impression that most of their patients walked to the office but I’m in Westchester and had to drive.
Was seen almost right away and the Root canal specialist Dr Ortenberg was most informative during my consultation … was in and out in less than half hours with copies of my x-rays

What is The Root Canal Process?
At our New York area offices, we employ innovative methods to enhance your comfort throughout your root canal procedure. Root canals are conducted with local anesthesia and are occasionally offered jointly with sedation to produce further relaxation. Once the tooth is numb, a shield is positioned to block the patient's mouth. The impacted region will then be accessed through a small hole made in the top of the tooth. The pulp, which comprises the nerve center and blood storage inside of every tooth, is then extracted, and the inner canal will be reshaped utilizing special endodontic tools prior to being entirely sanitized. We will then seal the restored tooth with an effective substance and finish it off with an anesthetic filling to promote the recovery process.
What Can I Expect After My Root Canal?
All of the tooth pain you were dealing with before your endodontic therapy should start to ebb away once the root canal is done. Over-the-counter pain medication can be used to minimize any aches or swelling that occurs after your session. We will schedule a check-in session about a month after your treatment so we can assess your recovery. Teeth restored with endodontic therapy are more susceptible to deterioration and may require the shielding properties of a personalized crown as soon as they're entirely recovered. A ceramic crown might then be designed to return the wellness and natural look to the tooth.
