Experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling? You may need a root canal—but there’s no need to worry. At The Newport Beach Dentist, we use modern techniques and advanced technology to make root canal therapy a comfortable, stress-free experience. Dr. Omid Haroonian is highly experienced in saving infected or damaged teeth and helping patients feel relief—often in just one visit.
A root canal is a restorative procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth’s root canal system. Once the infection is cleared, the area is disinfected, filled, and sealed to prevent further problems. Most root canal-treated teeth are then restored with a dental crown for strength and function.
Early treatment prevents further damage and can often save your natural tooth.
When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected, bacteria can spread into the surrounding bone—so prompt treatment is essential.
We use advanced imaging to assess the root canal and surrounding tissue.
We fully numb the area so you feel no pain during the procedure. Sedation options are available.
The infected pulp is gently removed and the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned.
We fill the space with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection.
A custom crown is placed to protect the tooth and restore full function.
In most cases, yes—especially for molars or teeth used for chewing. A crown strengthens the tooth and restores its appearance and durability.
If you feel anxious about root canals, you’re not alone. We offer oral sedation and IV sedation to help you relax and feel comfortable during your visit.
Don’t live with tooth pain—save your natural tooth and protect your smile with expert root canal care.

No. Modern root canals are virtually pain-free. Most patients feel relief, not discomfort, after treatment.
Most procedures take 60–90 minutes. Some may require a second visit, especially if infection is advanced.
While rare, retreatment may be needed if reinfection occurs. We use advanced techniques to minimize this risk.
Usually, yes. A crown strengthens and protects the tooth, especially in back teeth that bear heavy biting forces.
If the decay or damage has reached the pulp, a root canal is necessary. We’ll determine this with an exam and X-rays.
The infection can spread to your jawbone or bloodstream and may result in tooth loss or serious health complications.
Saving your natural tooth is usually the best option. Implants or bridges are more invasive and expensive.
