The staff were amazing! I haven't been to the dentist in years and was terrified to go this time...but I didn't have a choice, I had to see someone for my mouth pain! The dental assistants were VERY CARING, compassionate, and empathetic... They definitely helped decrease my anxiety and fear of seeing a dentist!
They were very friendly as soon as I walked in.When called back they made me feel so at ease and talked me through everything they were doing.After I was done I sat down with Amanda about they amount of everything and she was so nice and helped me in every way she could so I can get it all done.Went for my first visit and the lady who done the cleaning was awesome and now I am just waiting on my next visit to finish it all up.Everything was so clean.I have no complaints at all Update 7/29/21:I will not recommend this service to anyone.With everything I have been through I went into a depression state and couldn't even show my face out in public.I got a top plate that I have yet to be able to wear and when I go in I always hear things will get better once the swelling has gone down.Well the swelling has been gone and it's worse.My family invites me to go out to eat with them and I can't go bc I can't eat.Then was told I should get my permanent plate soon but I am worried it's gonna be messed up also bc the bite on my temp is way off and one side touches before the other so they have it all wrong.I cry everyday bc of this and even on the phone with Amanda yesterday I cried.I have never felt like this in my life.So thanks aspen dental for ruining my life

Root canal in Spartanburg, SC (East)

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