Endodontics in Garland, TX
Comfortable, Effective Root Canal Care at Oak Ridge Dental
Hearing the words “root canal” may sound scary—but thanks to modern technology and gentle techniques, endodontic care is more comfortable than ever. At Oak Ridge Dental, we provide expert endodontic treatment to relieve tooth pain, save your natural teeth, and restore your oral health.
Led by Dr. Nyugen, our Garland dental team focuses on making every visit as smooth and stress-free as possible.
What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the inside of the tooth—specifically the pulp, nerves, and root canals. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, injury, or a cracked tooth, endodontic treatment is needed to save the tooth and stop the pain.
The most common endodontic procedure is a root canal.
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
You may need a root canal if you have:
- A severe toothache
- Pain when chewing or biting
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- A darkened or discolored tooth
These are signs that the pulp inside your tooth is infected or damaged.
What Happens During a Root Canal?
A root canal is a routine procedure that can often be completed in just one or two visits. Here’s what you can expect:
- We numb the area to keep you comfortable.
- Dr. Nyugen gently removes the infected pulp from inside the tooth.
- The root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed.
- The tooth is then restored with a filling or crown for strength and function.
Most patients say a root canal feels similar to getting a filling.
Saving Your Natural Tooth
Endodontic treatment is all about saving your natural teeth whenever possible. Keeping your own teeth helps you chew normally, maintain jaw strength, and avoid more complex dental work in the future.

Dr. Nguyen And her staff were all very patient and kind. I have been a patient here for 4 or 5 years and service is always timely and professional. I was experiencing severe pain during a filling and Dr.Nguyen and her team member both were extremely sympathetic to my discomfort and accommodating. They truly went the extra mile for me, and I appreciate them for it. 10/10 would recommend.
