What Is a Root Canal and How Does It Work?
Save Your Natural Tooth
A root canal removes infected pulp from inside your tooth, preserving your natural tooth structure and preventing the need for extraction.
Eliminates Pain and Discomfort
By removing the infected tissue and sealing the tooth, a root canal effectively eliminates pain and sensitivity, allowing you to eat and drink comfortably.
Long-Lasting Results
With proper care, a tooth treated with a root canal can last a lifetime, providing you with a functional and natural-looking smile for years to come.
Pain-Free Smiling Starts Here
01
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Your dentist will examine your tooth, take X-rays, and discuss your symptoms. This helps determine if a root canal is necessary and allows us to create a tailored treatment plan for your specific case.
02
Removing the
Infection
Using advanced techniques, we'll carefully clean out the infected pulp from your tooth's root canals. This step eliminates the source of your pain and prepares the tooth for restoration.
03
Sealing
and Protecting
Once cleaned, we'll fill and seal the canals with a biocompatible material. In most cases, we'll place a temporary filling to protect your tooth until the permanent crown is ready.
04
Restoration and Follow-up Care
After a short healing period, we'll place a custom-made crown to fully restore your tooth's function and appearance. We'll provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure long-lasting results.
If You Wait, Treatment May Not Be Possible...
Pain Will Intensify
Addressing the issue early can prevent unnecessary suffering and more complex treatments down the line.
Infection Can Spread
Without treatment, the infection in your tooth can spread and affect other teeth.
May Require Extraction
If left too long, the damage may become so extensive that the tooth cannot be saved.
Stories from patients Like You
M.
"Highly recommend Dr. Do. Appreciate his calm demeanor and direct, thorough communication. Smooth, painless procedure- no soreness or pain afterwards. Reception and office staff are kind and helpful. Will return here if I ever need to (but hopefully I won't!)"

"The BEST endodontist I have ever worked with. And I am a very high anxiety dental patient. I am terrified and scared of the shots and pain. To my shock My root canal visit was painless start to finish. I didn't feel ANYTHING. Zero! I was so relaxed I was about to fall asleep during the procedure. I can't believe it went this smooth. Thank you Doctor. I went back to my general dentist to thank her for sending me to Laguna Endodontics and my dentist laughed and said “isn’t he the best?” The BEST Endodontist in Elk Grove!!! I don’t know what some negative reviews are about. I don’t believe they are even real 😅"
Stephanie D.
"I was referred by my primary dentist for a consult/root canal. The front office was very clear regarding the price between consult only or consult and treatment. They also accept Care Credit which is great. Dr. Do did my first ever root canal and he was great. I usually get really nervous for dental work because of the numbing shots but he did a really good job I barely felt the pinch. The procedure itself was about what they estimated an hour and 45 minutes. Hopefully I wont need anymore work done but if I do, I will return here."
Tracee J.
"I’ve had three root canals done at Laguna Endodontics two with Dr. Kim and one with Dr. Hung Do, and every experience has been excellent. Dr. Do, in particular, is incredibly gentle and patient. His numbing technique is truly the best I’ve ever experienced. It was the first time in my life I didn’t feel a single thing during the injections! He explained each step as he went, made sure I was comfortable, and the entire procedure was completely painless. Every root canal I’ve had here has healed beautifully. If you ever need a root canal, I highly recommend Dr. Do—he’s truly exceptional at what he does."
Felicia B.
"I was referred to Laguna Endodontics to get a retreatment root canal. I've had several root canals in my life. This by far was the best experience I have had. I got an appointment quickly. The receptionist was professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Dr. Do was amazing. He explained everything that he was going to do and when it was done showed me what he had done by the x-rays. I had little to pain which was a big plus for me. His assistant was very nice and efficient. Thank you for saving my tooth!! I highly recommend this office for your root canal problems."
Whitney D.
"The best place I've ever had dental work (I've had a lot of dental work). The receptionists were lovely and the Dr and assistant were kind and informative. Didn't feel a thing when anesthetized. Work was efficient and thorough. My dentist even commented at my crown placement appointment that it was a "beautiful root canal". Very grateful and will definitely recommend this office."
