Thanks to all of you!!!
I came in as their 1st patient at the new facility, I never expected every thing to happen so fast, I am very satisfied with the professionalism of all the staff. To many to specifically name everyone, but thank you all.
This was the the best dental experience I've had. The team that works in this office is, hands down, the dream team of dental. I originally planned to just go here for a second opinion. I am convinced that it would be irresponsible of me not to be a full time patient here from this point forward. They are thorough, knowledgable, and I'm convinced, the best in their field. You will not be disappointed here. Btw, don't worry about cost, because they are also very helpful in that as well. They will help you find a way for you to fix your dental problems and smile with confidence.
Root canal in Clearwater, FL
If you’re dealing with ongoing tooth pain or infection, a root canal may be the recommended treatment. At Aspen Dental in Clearwater, our care team provides root canal treatment close to home—so you don’t have to wait to feel relief.
What is a root canal?
A root canal is an endodontic treatment that cleans infection inside your tooth so we can save it instead of taking it out. If left untreated, the pulp that has nerves or tissue may die as a result of infection. Left untreated, an infected tooth can cause damage and lead to other issues. At Aspen Dental, your comfort is our priority at every step—we’ll explain everything and keep you comfortable throughout the process. If cost is what’s holding you back, don’t delay your visit—we accept most insurances and financing options—so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

Removing the infection
We carefully remove the infected pulp.
Cleaning and shaping

Do I need root canal treatment?
You might need root canal treatment if you notice: tooth pain that doesn’t go away, sensitivity to hot or cold even after the infection is gone, pain when chewing, a cracked or broken tooth exposing the nerve, swelling in the gums or jaw, or a tooth that looks darker than the rest. These are all signs of infection, and by treating it quickly, Aspen Dental could save your tooth.
