Root Canal Therapy in Cumming, GA
Save Your Natural Tooth and Relieve Pain

With the expertise of Dr. Page Barden, Dr. John Birch, and Dr. Michael Tehrani, patients across Cumming, Alpharetta, Roswell, Gainesville, Duluth, and Atlanta trust us for compassionate, precise, and effective endodontic care.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a procedure designed to clean out infected pulp tissue inside the tooth, disinfect the root canals, and seal the space to prevent reinfection. It allows patients to:
- Eliminate tooth pain caused by infection or deep decay
- Avoid extraction and preserve their natural smile
- Prevent infection from spreading to surrounding teeth or the jawbone
- Restore strength and appearance with a dental crown after treatment
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Root canal therapy may be necessary if you experience:
- Severe tooth pain while chewing or applying pressure
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swollen gums or tenderness near a tooth
- Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
- A recurring pimple-like bump on the gum line
If you’re experiencing sudden or severe pain, contact our emergency dentist team for same-day care.

Does a root canal hurt?
No. With today’s technology and anesthesia, root canal therapy feels no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.
How long does the procedure take?
Most root canals can be completed in one visit, though complex cases may require two appointments.
Will I need a crown afterward?
Yes, in most cases. A dental crown restores strength and prevents fractures in the treated tooth.
