Bad toothache? We can help!
Root canals get a bad reputation. The truth is, they’re one of the most common (and most effective) dental treatments available. We take pride in offering efficient root canal treatments designed with your comfort in mind.
At Chugach Dental, root canal dentist Dr. Adam Jensen offers root canals to help patients:
- Eliminate advanced tooth decay
- Stop painful toothaches
- Prevent the spread of bacterial infections
- Save their teeth and avoid a tooth extraction

Your comfort comes first
Our focus is on ensuring that you’re comfortable and relaxed throughout your root canal treatment. Here’s how Dr. Jensen does it:
- Starting with a local anesthetic, Dr. Jensen makes sure you’re fully numb before getting started.
- If you need it, we can prescribe Halcion, a medication that reduces anxiety.
- During the root canal, nitrous oxide can further decrease your anxiety. Unlike other sedation options, nitrous oxide wears off very fast.
Just let us know what you need to feel confident and comfortable. We’ll create a custom treatment plan just for you.
Restoring your tooth
In a way, a root canal is somewhat like treating a “big cavity.” The difference is that in most cases, the tooth will benefit from a crown to increase the longevity of the tooth and reduce risks of tooth fracture after a root canal
Following treatment, your root canal dentist will make a model of your tooth. We work with a local lab that makes the permanent crown. It takes about 2 weeks and we’ll provide you with a temporary crown to wear in the meantime.
Crowns can be made from a variety of different materials. We’ll discuss the advantages of each and help you to make the best decision for your health, appearance, and budget.
Aren’t root canals really painful?
This is a common misconception. Modern anesthetics and dental technology make root canals a very routine procedure. You’ll be comfortable before, during, and after your root canal!
Will you have to refer me to an endodontist for my root canal?
In most cases, Dr. Jensen can complete your root canal treatment in our office. Occasionally, uncommon tooth anatomy may require a referral to an endodontist.
Can’t we just pull my tooth instead?
Every situation is different, but in most cases, it’s preferable to avoid pulling a tooth if possible. Missing teeth can lead to gum disease and bone loss in the jaw, among other complications.
Do you offer emergency root canals?
