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.
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.
Cleaning the Canals
The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate all bacteria.
Sealing & Restoration
The canals are filled and sealed. A custom porcelain crown is typically placed to protect and restore the tooth to full function.
