Root Canals in Oxnard Will Restore Your Oral Health 

While the procedure doesn't have the best reputation, a root canal is what gets you out of pain, not what causes it. In fact, by choosing Anacapa Dental Art Institute for root canals in Oxnard, you'll benefit from the experience of our in-house endodontist, Dr. Anastasios Angelidis. He specializes in treating infections that have reached the pulp of your tooth. With his help, you will:

  • Avoid a possible tooth extraction
  • End your dental pain
  • Preserve your natural oral function
  • Receive restorations that are compatible with your body
  • Feel confident about your oral health

If you worry your tooth is infected, contact us now for an appointment. If you're a new patient, you're eligible for a consultation. We'll give you a tour of our facilities and discuss the next steps in repairing your smile.

Stop Your Toothache With a Root Canal Procedure

At our practice you'll not only get the help of an experienced endodontist, you will also benefit from our modern technology. Master technicians at our in-house lab create your restorations under the supervised of Dr. Jivraj. We also use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras for the most precise treatment planning.

If we determine that a root canal treatment is needed to improve the health of your smile, here is what you can expect:

  • Dr. Angelidis will clean out the canals of your tooth and remove any sign of infection.
  • The inside portion of your tooth is then filled in with a biocompatible sealer.
  • The final step is placing a dental crown to protect the integrity of your tooth and prevent further infection.

We understand if the idea of this procedure gives you anxiety. That's why we offer several forms of sedation, including laughing gas, oral sedation with a small pill, and IV sedation. Unlike most practices, we also offer the option of general anesthesia if you want to sleep through the procedure.

For safe and gentle root canals in Oxnard, call Anacapa Dental Art Institute today for an appointment. You can also schedule online if you prefer.

Dr. Jivraj is a perfectionist, top-notch, and he expects nothing less from his team. Point blank, he's the best. He laid out a plan. He said, "In 6-8 months I'll have you crunching on an apple." I had no doubt that he meant every word. He exuded confidence and made me feel completely...

Dr. Jivraj is a perfectionist, top-notch, and he expects nothing less from his team. Point blank, he's the best. He laid out a plan. He said, "In 6-8 months I'll have you crunching on an apple." I had no doubt that he meant every word. He exuded confidence and made me feel completely comfortable. His wonderful financing department came up with a plan that was affordable for me, and got me interest-free financing for up to 2 years. Not once throughout this process was I made to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, and they treated me like family.

This place is professional, comprehensive, and nice. Loved the staff and loved the holistic look that the doctor took to consider my orthodontics (being done elsewhere) and sleep apnea and making requests of the orthodontist to account for the issue. Anyway, I just went in for routine cleaning,...

Loved the staff and loved the holistic look that the doctor took to consider my orthodontics (being done elsewhere) and sleep apnea and making requests of the orthodontist to account for the issue. Anyway, I just went in for routine cleaning, and it was much more service-oriented and comprehensive than I expected.

I was immediately impressed by the attentiveness from the employees at the front desk. They were joyful and made you feel immediately at ease. They then took me on a tour of the facility. The rooms were super clean and all equipment is state of the art. I was introduced to pretty much everyone on staff and they were all happy and friendly. After having X-rays, I then met with the dentist. He was very knowledgeable and I agreed with everything he discussed in regards to the problems with my teeth.

Traveling from overseas and broke my dentures the day before departure. Once in LA, I started looking for a dentist. I made an appointment with Dr. J. I was my lucky day:) after crossing the threshold of Anacapa I felt at home. I couldn't believe it but the Dr. took my dentures and fixed them, so just saw my desperation saw me , not only my money. the tears poured into my eyes by themselves. After this we talked about options, yes, it's a lot of money, but it's worth it. Today I have lower fixed dentures and love them.

Common Questions About Root Canals

Why have a root canal?

If the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected, you'll need to have a root canal or remove the tooth. Otherwise, the infection can worsen and spread to your jaw and even elsewhere in your body, causing potentially serious health issues. You'll recover more easily from a root canal than an extraction, and it keeps your tooth structure in place.

Are root canals painful?

While they have that reputation, most patients find a root canal no more uncomfortable than receiving a filling. The procedure eliminates pain; it doesn't cause it! We'll numb your mouth with local anesthesia so you don't feel pain. You may find it easier to relax if you also receive one of our four forms of safe dental sedation.

What does a root canal do?

When we perform a root canal procedure, it is because the soft inner portion of the tooth (known as the pulp) has become infected. For this procedure, your dentist will access the pulp through the top of the tooth, clean it out, sanitize and shape the root canals, and seal the tooth back. This treatment allows us to save your tooth while stopping your pain.
