Endodontics in Miami & Hialeah, FL

Endodontics

What Is Endodontics?

Endodontics is a specialized area of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth—specifically the dental pulp and surrounding tissues. At Paya Dental, we provide expert endodontic care in both our Miami and Hialeah locations to help patients preserve their natural teeth and relieve dental pain with precision and comfort.

If you’re experiencing tooth sensitivity, persistent pain, or swelling near a specific tooth, you may need endodontic treatment, such as root canal therapy. Our team uses advanced techniques and technology to ensure efficient, effective procedures with minimal discomfort.

When Is Endodontic Treatment Needed?

Endodontic care is often required when the pulp inside your tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to:

  • Deep decay
  • Cracks or fractures
  • Repeated dental procedures
  • Trauma or injury to the tooth

Without treatment, this condition can lead to severe pain, abscess formation, or even tooth loss. Through procedures like root canal therapy, we remove the damaged pulp, clean and seal the inside of the tooth, and help you avoid the need for extraction or more invasive treatment.

What to Expect from a Root Canal at Paya Dental

A root canal is the most common endodontic procedure, and at Paya Dental, it’s performed with a focus on patient comfort, efficiency, and successful outcomes. Here’s how the process typically works:

  1. Diagnosis and Imaging: Using digital X-rays and advanced diagnostic tools, we evaluate the condition of the tooth and confirm if endodontic therapy is needed.
  2. Anesthesia and Comfort: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure the procedure is painless. Sedation options are also available to help anxious patients feel more at ease.
  3. Treatment: The infected pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and shaped, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further infection.
  4. Restoration: A follow-up visit is typically scheduled for a dental crown or other restoration to protect the tooth long-term.

Many patients are surprised by how straightforward and comfortable modern root canal therapy can be—especially when performed by experienced professionals like Dr. Anabel Paya and Dr. Adeleydis Quintana.

Benefits of Endodontic Treatment

Preserving your natural tooth is always preferable when possible. Endodontic therapy offers several advantages, including:

  • Relief from pain and infection
  • Preservation of your natural bite and jaw structure
  • Prevention of tooth loss and shifting of nearby teeth
  • A durable and long-lasting solution when followed by proper restoration

At Paya Dental, our goal is to treat infection at its source while maintaining the strength and function of your tooth through high-quality endodontic care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a root canal hurt?

Thanks to modern anesthetics and techniques, root canal treatment is no more painful than getting a filling. Most patients report feeling significantly better afterward.

How long does a root canal take?

A root canal usually takes one to two visits, depending on the severity of the infection and the tooth being treated.

What happens if I delay treatment?

Delaying endodontic care can lead to worsening infection, severe pain, and eventual tooth loss. Prompt treatment can prevent complications and save your natural tooth.

Will I need a crown after a root canal?

In most cases, yes. A crown helps protect the tooth from future fractures and restores its full function and appearance.

Is endodontic treatment covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover endodontic procedures. Our team can help you verify your benefits and explain financing options if needed.
