Root Canals

High-tech, comfortable, and picture-perfect.

Keep your teeth as healthy as possible for as long as possible

Everything root canals should be

We get it. Nobody likes the idea of possibly needing a root canal. But here’s what our dentists want you to know:
  • If you have a really bad toothache caused by bacteria deep inside your tooth, root canal therapy is the best way to help you feel better quickly.
  • Root canals help save your natural teeth, avoiding extractions and other more complicated (and pricey) procedures.
  • We perform hundreds of root canal procedures every year. They’re a very common (and very necessary) treatment for many people.
  • Zenith Dental does root canals differently. We take great pride in our high-tech approach and amazing results.

A root canal and crown in just one visit?

It’s true! Unlike other dentists who use goopy impressions to make finicky temporary crowns, and make you come back to their office for a follow-up visit, we offer single-visit CEREC crowns.

Take a 3D digital scan of your mouth

Create a digital “blueprint” of your tooth

Use top dental labs to create a high quality restoration

Bond your finished crown into place

That’s it! At many other root canal dentists in Ft Myers, it takes 3 or 4 appointments (spread out over several weeks) to get a root canal and crown. However, at Zenith Dental, you’ll leave our office with a root canal and finished crown in just 2 visits.

Ben Richards, DDM

Owner
“I take pride in changing how my patients think about root canals. Needing a root canal means you can still save your natural tooth structure. And with a CEREC crown, you can keep your tooth healthy and looking awesome for decades. Plus, I’m extra gentle and make sure you’re comfortable the whole time.”
Getting Started

Many patients visit Zenith Dental with a bad toothache that they want us to take a look at. Your first visit includes a set of x-rays, a full exam, cleaning, and time to speak with your dentist (expect to spend about 60 minutes at our office).

We’ll look at x-rays together, talk about possible issues we’re seeing, and discuss treatment options.

Judgement-free office
We’re here to help. We don’t care how long it’s been since you saw the dentist last, we’re just glad you came to see us!
On-time appointments
That’s right. We aim for every appointment to start on time, with as little waiting as possible.
Care with a smile
We know that nobody looks forward to a root canal. So we go above and beyond to make your experience at our office one of a kind. See for yourself!
Invest in Your Dental Health
Need a root canal? Whether you have dental insurance or not, our office will work with you. If you don’t have insurance, ask about our in-office membership plan and CareCredit. But if you do have insurance, leave everything to us. We’ll file the paperwork and make sure you get the most out of your benefits.
