Root Canal Therapy: Gentle Relief to Save Your Natural Tooth

A root canal isn’t something to fear — it’s a powerful, proven way to stop pain, eliminate infection, and save your natural tooth. When decay or trauma reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, it can cause intense discomfort and swelling. Left untreated, it can lead to abscesses or tooth loss. A root canal removes the source of infection, relieves pain, and restores your oral health — all while preserving the tooth structure.

During treatment, Dr. Ly carefully removes the damaged pulp, disinfects the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent future problems. Thanks to modern techniques and local anesthesia, most patients say the experience feels no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. After your root canal, we typically restore your tooth with a crown for added strength and natural appearance.

Don’t let tooth pain or infection get worse. Getting a root canal now can help you avoid more complex and costly procedures later. At Copperfield Smiles, we make the process comfortable, efficient, and stress-free — so you can get back to smiling without worry.

A Gentle, Modern Approach to Root Canal Therapy at Copperfield Smiles

At Copperfield Smiles, we’ve redefined the root canal experience to make it comfortable, efficient, and stress-free. Dr. Ly uses modern dental technology — including digital X-rays and rotary endodontic tools — to ensure precision at every step while minimizing discomfort. With local anesthesia and a compassionate touch, most patients are surprised by how quick and painless the procedure feels — often comparing it to getting a regular filling.

During your root canal, we gently remove the inflamed or infected pulp from the inside of your tooth, thoroughly disinfect the canal system, and then seal it to prevent reinfection. This treatment relieves pain, saves your natural tooth, and avoids the need for more costly procedures like extractions and implants.

Once the root canal is complete, Dr. Ly will place a temporary restoration to protect the tooth. In most cases, a permanent dental crown is recommended afterward to restore strength, appearance, and long-term durability. Thanks to our advanced scanning technology and digital impressions, the final crown fits with precision and feels completely natural.

Why Patients Choose Root Canal Treatment

Root canal therapy is often misunderstood, but it remains one of the most effective and comfortable ways to save a tooth and protect your smile. At Copperfield Smiles, our patients choose root canal treatment for several important reasons:

  • Relief from Pain
    Chronic tooth pain, especially when chewing or exposed to hot or cold, can disrupt your daily life. A root canal removes the infected tissue causing discomfort, providing lasting relief — often within just a few days.

  • Avoiding Tooth Loss
    Keeping your natural tooth helps maintain proper chewing function, jaw alignment, and prevents adjacent teeth from shifting. Root canals allow you to preserve your smile without needing extractions or implants.

  • Stopping the Spread of Infection
    Left untreated, an infected tooth can lead to more serious health issues. A root canal removes the infection at its source, stopping it from spreading to nearby teeth, gums, or even the bloodstream.

  • A Cost-Effective Long-Term Option
    Compared to tooth replacement options like implants or bridges, root canal therapy is often more affordable and requires less long-term maintenance.

  • Confidence in Your Smile
    A root canal is typically followed by a crown, restoring the tooth’s strength and appearance. Patients often feel more confident knowing their smile looks and functions naturally again.

Did You Know?

A study published in the Journal of Endodontics found that patients who undergo root canal therapy report a significant improvement in quality of life — from chewing comfort to self-confidence — with success rates exceeding 90%.

The best way to know for sure is to come in for an exam.

See Why Patients Trust Dr. Ly & Copperfield Smiles

"A few years I ago I was looking for a new dentist after my previous dentist told me I needed $6,000 of dental work done. My family and I were so lucky to have come across Dr. Ly. He is one of the most conservative and honest dentists I've ever met. You won't get the high pressure sales pitch to have thousands of dollars of work done at Copperfield Smiles. I've referred several friends and family to him and they have all been happy with his skills and demeanor. Highly recommended!"

Brett T.

"I came to this office after years of being scared to go to the dentist. Dr. Ly is an amazing dentist, him and his team made me feel so comfortable and at ease. They were so understanding of my anxiety as well, other places I’ve gone to were not so nice about it. He listened to my concerns and was very thorough in checking my oral hygiene and health. I really appreciate Dr. Ly and his team, thank you guys!"

Kelley D.

"We've had some major challenges with dentists in Houston. Either they charge way too much or their dentistry is just not very effective. When we found Dr. Ly we found someone who is both an excellent dentist and reasonably priced. I strongly recommend Dr. Ly if you are looking for a great dentist. It is a bit of a drive to the Copperfield area, but one we have never regretted given how much better and honorable our service from Dr. Ly has been."

Steve C.

"I’ve had nothing but excellent experiences at this dental office! Dr. Ly is fantastic—thorough, professional, and always pays great attention to detail. The hygienists are top-notch, and I really appreciate how gentle yet effective they are with my cleanings. The whole office is clean, welcoming, and runs smoothly. On top of that, the pricing is very reasonable, which can be hard to find these days. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality dental care!"

Carly W.

"I’ve been coming to Copperfield Smiles for my regular cleanings and Invisalign, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best dental offices I’ve ever been to. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, and the entire office is spotless and well-organized. What I really appreciate is how Dr. Ly takes the time to explain everything clearly without pressuring you into any treatments. They let you know what’s needed, but it’s always your choice if and when you want to move forward. It makes the whole experience feel relaxed and respectful."

Ilene K.

"When moving to Houston it took awhile to find a good dentist. Dr. Ly is excellent. The staff at Copperfield Smiles is always so friendly and make you feel so comfortable. Well as comfortable as you could be at the dentist 🦷 lol 😂. I would recommend anyway to make Copperfield Smiles your primary dentist."

Shauna B.

"Spectacular experience today at Copperfield Smiles with Dr. Ly & assistant. Very professional and informative custom treatment on my hardest to reach inner molar. They showed me all the 3-D images which made me understand the whole process. Strongly recommended this office !"

Roger L.

"I had an awful pain on my lower premolar. I went to one dentist who said that he doesn’t see a cavity but will do a root canal and if that didn’t Work they would extract it for free. I went to another who offered to extract it but wasn’t sure what tooth since I did not have a rotting tooth. I went to Dr Ly and he adjusted my bite and told me to use a night guard more frequently. I have not had any issues since seeing Dr. Ly. Most dentist try to get as much money as they can. He is honest and conservative."

Natalie J.

"I can’t say enough good things about my dentist and his wonderful staff. They are kind, caring, incredibly patient, and always attentive. It’s clear that this atmosphere of compassion and professionalism starts with the dentist himself — a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. His demeanor sets the tone for the entire practice, making every visit as comfortable as possible. Highly recommend!!!!!! Thank you Dr. Ly and staff!!"

Peta G. S.

"I had a cleaning and a filling done here. I thought It was really cool of Dr Ly to take the time to get to know me and talk me through the whole process. With knowing my background he let me look at my X-ray and tell him what I saw. Also the dental hygienist (I cannot for the life of me remember her name) took really good care of me as well, I told her that I didn’t like the “ice pick” for scraping my teeth and took her time to scale/ use ultrasonic pick to clean my teeth instead."

Daylan L.

"AMAZINGGGGG. I loved everything about this dentist! It was a different experience such as the act Doctor. (Dr. Anthony) was more involved than your average dentist. He was so informative with procedures and teeth health but also giving visionary examples as well. It’s looking like this just might be my new dentist"
