Dealing with a toothache or deep infection doesn’t mean you have to spend weeks waiting for relief. At Hellgate Family Dental, Dr. Brandon Sturgell offers same-day root canal treatment—including a permanent crown placed on the very same day. Thanks to our fully digital office and advanced in-house technology, we’re able to treat and restore your tooth efficiently, comfortably, and in a single visit.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a procedure used to treat a tooth that’s infected or inflamed at the root level. Rather than removing the tooth entirely, Dr. Sturgell removes the infected pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and fills it to prevent further issues. A custom crown is then placed over the tooth to restore strength and function—all in one appointment.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
You might need a root canal if you’re experiencing:
- Persistent tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Discoloration of the tooth
- A pimple-like bump on the gums
Ignoring an infection can lead to more serious problems, including tooth loss. A same-day root canal can relieve pain quickly and help you keep your natural tooth.
Our Same-Day Root Canal Process
- Digital Diagnostics
We begin with digital X-rays and CBCT 3D imaging to get a precise view of your tooth and surrounding structures—allowing for a detailed, accurate diagnosis. - Root Canal Treatment
Dr. Sturgell uses advanced rotary tools and local anesthesia to remove the infection and clean the canal with precision. The procedure is designed to be comfortable and efficient. - Same-Day Crown Placement
Once the root canal is complete, we take digital impressions and design your crown in-office using our fully digital milling system. You’ll leave with a permanent crown that’s custom-fitted to your smile—no temporary crown, no second visit.
