Had some time off and wanted to get ahead of my cleaning, Aspen was able to get me in without a long wait (literally the day of) which i am very grateful for. The process was made easier than my typical experiences have been.. Jasmine did my cleaning and it was great! Will be returning
Can’t remember the dentist’s names, They’re great at their jobs best quality dental care I’ve experienced as far as, they deserve the respect of dentistsry
Today 03/13/26 I had an appointment at Aspen Dental in North Augusta South Carolina. Through the years I've been to many dentist offices but today when I walked into Aspen Dental in North Augusta changed my life and my perspective about going to the dentist. I was taking care of by a lot of wonderful people today. The first person that greeted me was Ciara she worked in front of the office greeted me and gave me the information tablet so I could feel it out with a bright smile on her face. The next person I met was Keri she was in charge of doing all of my x-rays she laughed and she smiled and joked. And she was listening to her musicals from the movie Grease. The next person I saw was Jasmine wow she was a very good hygienist, she explained everything so thorough without missing a beat any questions I had she made me feel comfortable and hopeful about the treatment that I was going to get for my mouth. She gave me some suggestions about what I need to get far as mouthwash, and electric toothbrush and she even got a sticky note and wrote it down for me wow. The next person I met was Dr.K she came in with a beautiful smile and laughter just to check and see what was going on in my mouth and just to let me know that she agreed on the assessment that Jasmine made. And also at the same time I met a young lady named Heaven. And on my way out I met a young lady name Shikina she was the young lady that help you take care of the insurance part of your visit and so we came to some complications as far as how much I was going to have to pay. She was very patient and professionally understanding we laughed and we talked until we figured out what we could do she went on head and sent the pre-authorization in and uprated everything turns out according to God's plan. I really want to say to the team at Aspen Dental in North Augusta South Carolina thank you for your premier customer service. Y'all have a great team. And I would refer you all to anyone that asks for a place to go and have a dentist appointment. Thanks again Phyllis Montgomery

Root canal in North Augusta, SC

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