I. Don't like my teeth because they don't fit right. And I don't like wearing them at all they hurt my mouth and I can hardly eat with them they hurt my mouth so bad That how much I hate my teeth
I had a great experience at Aspen Dental thanks to Khyrie at the front desk. From the moment I walked in, Khyrie was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. They made the check-in process smooth and stress-free, answered all my questions with patience, and created a welcoming atmosphere. It’s clear they truly care about patients and take pride in their work. Thank you, Khyrie, for making my visit such a positive one!
After going to another Dentist for years, and being told I needed crowns on all of my teeth to have a pretty smile & it would cost me 20,000. I never had a good check up either. I did slack for a bit!🤨 Then I bit into a piece of cold chocolate & broke my front tooth off!! It was horrible!! I was so embarrassed!! They got me in the next day & I had a floating tooth. I was happy until it came off that evening when I bit into a hamburger. They glued it back in place the next day. Then 2 days later at a nice restaurant it broke off again!! I felt bad calling them, but it wasn't my fault. I felt like they really didn't want to deal with me & was even contradicted a few times. My husband goes to Aspen Dental & had a good experience. So I made an appointment. I'M SO GLAD I DID!! Dr. DeSanto was awesome along with the rest of the staff. She had a totally different plan for me, that I could afford!!! I did the Invisalign for about 6mos. a filling, bridge & veneers on my upper front teeth. I still have to do a double take when I look in the mirror. It cost me a quarter of the other quote!! I went today to get my annual teeth cleaning. The tech told me, I'm doing a good job of taking care of my teeth & I was told that several times by Dr. DeSanto. Everyone was always friendly & down to earth, yet professional. THANK YOU ASPEN DENTAL (sioux city, IA) I LOVE MY SMILE finally after 50+ years 😁♥️♥️

Root canal in Sioux City, IA

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