Root Canal Therapy
What is a Root Canal Therapy?
At Endodontics Limited, Dr. Gomez and Dr. Barros provide modern root canals with compassion and excellence. They are proud to be among the top providers of root canal treatment in Miami, FL, and are committed to helping you find relief from tooth pain.
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. When the soft inner tissue of the tooth — the pulp — becomes inflamed due to deep decay, trauma or multiple dental treatments, a root canal can often preserve the tooth. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the inner chamber, and sealing the tooth to prevent future problems.
What Causes Damage
to the Tooth’s Pulp?
Contrary to jokes about the matter, modern root canal treatment is very similar to having a routine filling and usually can be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the condition of your tooth and your personal circumstances. You can expect a comfortable experience during and after your appointment.
Endodontic treatment helps you maintain your natural smile, continue eating the foods you love and limits the need for ongoing dental work. With proper care, most teeth that have had root canal treatment can last as long as other natural teeth and often for a lifetime.

Yes. Thanks to advancements in dental anesthesia and techniques, modern root canals are often performed with little to no discomfort. Using local anesthesia, Dr. Gomez and Dr. Barros ensure the area around the tooth is completely numb. Many patients liken the experience to getting a filling, and any mild soreness afterward can typically be managed with over‑the‑counter pain relievers.
A root canal at Endodontics Limited in Miami involves several key steps:
Preparation: The endodontist creates a small opening in the tooth to access the pulp chamber.
Cleaning and Disinfection: The inflamed or infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is meticulously cleaned and disinfected.
Sealing: Once cleaned, the canal is filled and sealed to prevent future infection.
Most root canal procedures in Miami take between 60 and 90 minutes. Teeth with multiple roots or more complex infections may require a second visit.
After your root canal treatment, you may experience mild sensitivity for a few days as your tooth heals. Maintaining proper oral hygiene and scheduling regular dental checkups will help ensure the longevity of your restored tooth. Follow‑up care—often including a crown—is essential to protect the treated tooth.
Root canal therapy is very safe, but potential risks include residual infection if tiny canals are missed or a tooth developing a fracture later. Such complications are rare, and with appropriate care and follow‑up, most patients recover without issues.
