Featured Reviews
High tech equipment, friendly staff, amazing experience.
I have been a patient for several months and have received nothing but the most caring, comforting and professional dental care...with a laugh or two thrown in. I lived with mouth pain for about 10 years and they have changed the quality of my life. From the receptionist to the nurses and assistance all the way up to the Doc's and surgeons they make you feel like family and you know your in good hands. My wife woke up this morning with an extremely bad tooth ache and with nothing more than a phone call they got us an appointment. They went the whole nine yards for her today to ease her pain. The office manager Phyllis took care of all of the paperwork and made sure everything went smoothly. Special thanks to Doc Rennie who went back to the office an hour after they had closed just to send the electronic prescription to the drug store again because the drug store server was down the first time he sent it to them. Thanks ladies and gents.
Aspen Dental You deserve five stars for outstanding service. My wisdom teeth was removed today without pain. I was in and out of the door before I knew it. The team work was superb. Felt like a family environment for sure. Dr. K. Rennie, Alicia, and Angela Mabry are team players for sure, Not to mention the front desk service, (Alexis Black), that greeted my grand daughter and I with a grand smile. Definitely I plan to recommend you all to my friends and family. Cherokee Fontenot, thank you for helping me with my grand daughter, (Gracie) and last but not least Houa, I needed that wave and smile you extended to me this morning, all my fears subsided. Your outstanding service will never be forgotten. And prompt assistant! Thank you team!

Root canal in Saint Augustine, FL

If you’re dealing with ongoing tooth pain or infection, a root canal may be the recommended treatment. At Aspen Dental in Saint Augustine, 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.

What’s the process of getting a root canal at Aspen Dental?

At Aspen Dental, your comfort is our priority at every step:
1
Initial assessment
We examine the tooth, take X-rays and explain your care plan.
2
Local anesthesia
The affected tooth and surrounding area are numbed completely, so you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
3
Removing the infection
We carefully remove the infected pulp.
4
Cleaning and shaping
The inside of the tooth is cleaned and prepared.
5
Sealing the tooth
A biocompatible filling material seals the canals to protect the tooth from further infection.
6
Restoring the tooth
Most patients need a crown placed afterward to strengthen and protect the treated tooth for long-term use.

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.
