Root Canal Therapy in Houston, TX
Severe tooth pain is a sign your tooth needs help — not extraction. Dr. Kevin Nail uses modern root canal techniques and sedation dentistry to relieve your pain, eliminate infection, and save your natural tooth.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Don't Ignore These Warning Signs
Root canal therapy becomes necessary when the soft tissue (pulp) inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or trauma. Early treatment prevents the infection from spreading and saves the tooth.

What to Expect
Diagnosis & X-Ray
Dr. Nail uses digital X-rays, CBCT 3D imaging, cold testing, percussion testing, and AI-assisted analysis to accurately diagnose whether root canal therapy is needed.
Learn how we diagnose →Anesthesia & Sedation
Local anesthesia numbs the area completely. Sedation options are available for anxious patients — most people feel little to no discomfort during the procedure.
Learn how we diagnose →Cleaning the Canals
The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate all bacteria.
Learn how we diagnose →Sealing & Restoration
The canals are filled and sealed. A custom porcelain crown is typically placed to protect and restore the tooth to full function.
