Save Your Tooth — Relieve Pain, Restore Comfort
At Radiant Smile, our goal is to help patients keep their natural teeth whenever possible. A root canal may be recommended when the inside of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. This treatment removes the infection, relieves pain, and prevents further damage. However, not every patient or tooth is a candidate. Dr. Nguyen will evaluate your tooth and determine if treatment can be performed in our office or if referral to a root canal specialist (endodontist) is necessary.
Do I Need a Root Canal?
Procedure Overview
After Care & Next Steps
You may experience mild soreness for a short time after treatment, which is typically manageable with over the counter medication. A follow up visit will be scheduled to place the final restoration. Please note: we do not offer same day crowns; crown placement is completed at a subsequent appointment.
Emergency Considerations
Radiant Smile provides same day emergency evaluations for dental pain, swelling, or suspected infection. When appropriate, we can begin measures to relieve pain and will determine if your case should be referred to an endodontist. We do not repair or treat broken dentures as part of emergency services.

Dr Nguyen is caring & thorough dentist. I took my son in for a consult for an implant. It’s a very complicated case due to a skating accident at 8 yrs old he’s now 19. I’ve gotten consults with other providers but we are going to use him . I trust he will be with us along this journey & will deliver our desired outcomePosted on Google![]()

Had both arches done yesterday. I'm just so impressed and excited with the journey to this point. Dr. Nguyen is by far the best dentist I've ever been to. He has explained every step of the way. He's also kind and gentle. Before considering any of these large box stores with supposedly teeth in twenty four hours just know that there's always going to be swelling and they're not going to fit right. Instead let him make you a set of temps for three months and then get customized zirconia implants made just for your completely healed mouth. He's the most caring Doctor of any field that I have seen
