All About...

Root Canal Therapy

At Glassman Dental Care, we provide expert root canal therapy in New York to help patients preserve their natural teeth and restore lasting comfort. Our experienced team, including Dr. Steven Glassman, Dr. Debra Glassman, and Dr. Aviv Rahimzada, delivers personalized care in a supportive, patient-focused environment.

For over 36 years, we’ve proudly served a vibrant, creative community in the heart of New York. Our practice supports the city’s artists, singers, dancers, and Broadway professionals who rely on a confident, pain-free smile on and off stage. Whether you’re performing or presenting, we understand how essential it is to feel and look your best.

Root canal therapy offers a solution when deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental work causes infection in a tooth’s pulp—the sensitive inner tissue that houses nerves and blood vessels. If left untreated, this infection can cause serious pain and may lead to tooth loss. This procedure eliminates discomfort and protects your oral health and smile for years to come.

Five Benefits of Root Canal Therapy in New York

When infection or damage threatens a tooth, root canal therapy offers a safe, effective way to save it. At Glassman Dental Care, we help patients relieve pain and restore function with this trusted treatment. Here are five reasons to consider root canal therapy:

1. Saves Your Natural Tooth: Instead of removing a damaged tooth, a root canal clears the infection and allows you to keep it. This preserves your natural bite and avoids the need for replacement options.

2. Relieves Pain Quickly: Contrary to common belief, root canal therapy isn’t painful—it stops the pain caused by infection. Most patients feel relief shortly after the procedure.

3. Restores Function: After treatment and restoration, you can chew, speak, and smile normally. The tooth remains strong and stable for everyday use.

4. It Prevents Further Problems: Root canal therapy protects your surrounding teeth and gums from further complications by removing the infection.

5. It supports a Healthy Smile: Root canal treatment often plays a key role in full-mouth restorations, helping patients regain confidence, comfort, and long-term oral health.

Breaking Down Root Canal Therapy in New York

1. Comprehensive Evaluation and Imaging

During your initial visit, we conduct a thorough examination to assess the extent of the infection. Using state-of-the-art tools like CBCT scanners and digital X-rays, we obtain detailed images of your tooth and surrounding structures, allowing us to plan the most effective treatment approach. Additionally, our staff will review costs, insurance, and financing options with you. 

2. Anesthesia and Comfort

We administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area to ensure your comfort. Our office has cozy blankets, pillows, and streaming services to help you relax during the procedure. Nitrous oxide is also available for patients who require additional relaxation.

3. Accessing the Tooth and Removing Infected Tissue

The dentist creates a small opening in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber. We then carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp tissue, clean and shape the root canals to eliminate bacteria, and prepare for sealing.

4. Sealing the Tooth

After cleaning, we fill the root canals with a biocompatible material to seal them and prevent future infections. In some cases, we may place a post to provide additional support.

5. Restoration

Once the root canal is sealed, we restore the tooth with a custom-made crown to return it to its full function and appearance. Our in-house 3D printing and CAD/CAM technology enable us to create precise and durable restorations.
