All office staff assisted me well, I’m delighted to say that they are trained with professional hospitality. If you’re looking for a dentist office in Tallahassee, please stop by this office. I highly recommend it, Thank you😁 Aspen Dental. I will forever remain a faithful customer.
They were wonderful there. I have such a hard time getting X-rays on my teeth and the ladies there were very patient and worked with me to get it done, didn’t make me feel horrible for being such a difficult patient with it like I’ve had with previous dentists. The dentist is fantastic and very sweet. They all were. Loved the 101 Dalmatian costumes they did too. Look forward to coming to y’all from here on to get my teeth cleaned and fixed. <3
When you first walk in to the office there is the nicest young man who has to deal with the public. Poor guy, I mean, it’s not like anyone is looking forward to going to the dentist and don’t even get me started on dental insurance! Needles to say, he’s always so patient and understanding while dealing with our fears and frustration. While I was there I saw two dentists. Both were so knowledgeable and took the time to explain things while answering all my questions. I had an infected tooth and they were gentle when examining my teeth. Even when my tooth was extracted she was careful, always making sure that I wasn’t in any pain. Melody, my dental hygienist, was amazing! She was very gentle while cleaning my teeth and educated me on proper dental hygiene and care. You could tell that she genuinely cared about the patient! Last but not least, there was the sweet young lady that had to explain your bill and why your dental insurance wasn’t covering everything you thought they would. All I can say is bless her heart! Thats a tough job and she handles it so well! It’s very seldom you go to a dental office and are treated so well by everyone you encounter. I would definitely recommend Aspen Dental to my friends!

Root canal in Tallahassee, FL (North)

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