****Update**** I am pleased I chose Aspen Dental. Trace, the Operations Manager, provided exceptional customer service by sitting down with me and going over all of my charges, estimate, and answering all of my questions about my insurance plan coverage. I appreciate that he believes in transparency and making sure patients are clear about their treatment and payments. Christopher, the dental hygienist, did a fantastic job! He was personable and I did not experience any discomfort. I will continue going to this office. The front desk person was kind and I did not wait to be seen.

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

Do I need root canal treatment?
