Root Canals in Doral & South Miami, FL
Gentle Root Canal Therapy in Miami
Severe tooth pain, lingering sensitivity, or swelling around a tooth can be signs of an infection that requires immediate attention. Left untreated, dental infections can spread and lead to tooth loss or serious health complications. At Gemini Dental, we provide gentle and effective root canal treatments at both our Doral and South Miami offices. Our goal is to save your natural teeth while eliminating pain and restoring full function. With more than 25 years of experience, our family-owned practice has become a trusted provider of advanced root canal care for patients across Miami.
What to Expect During a Root Canal
-
Root canal therapy involves removing infected or damaged pulp tissue from inside the tooth, disinfecting the canals, and then sealing the space to prevent further infection. Despite its reputation, modern root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than getting a dental filling. At Gemini Dental, we use local anesthesia and, when needed, sedation options to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure.
-
The process begins with a thorough exam and digital X-rays to identify the source of infection. Once the tooth is numbed, our dentist creates a small opening to access the pulp chamber. The infected tissue is carefully removed, and the canals are cleaned, shaped, and sealed. Finally, the tooth is restored, often with a custom crown, to ensure strength and durability.
Types of Root Canal Cases We Treat
Not all root canals are the same. Our dentists are experienced in handling a wide range of cases:
-
Single-Rooted Teeth – Front teeth and premolars with one root are generally simpler to treat and often completed in a single visit.
-
Multi-Rooted Teeth – Molars and back teeth have complex root structures, requiring advanced techniques and precision.
-
Retreatment – If a previous root canal fails or infection returns, we can perform retreatment to save the tooth.
Whether your situation is straightforward or more complex, our team has the skill and technology to deliver reliable results.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy offers many benefits, the most important being the ability to save a natural tooth. Preserving your tooth not only maintains your smile but also prevents the shifting of surrounding teeth and loss of bone in the jaw. Root canals also eliminate infection and pain, improving your comfort and oral health immediately.
Compared to tooth extraction, root canal treatment is a cost-effective solution that maintains your bite and function. When paired with a custom crown, a treated tooth can last decades with proper care. Patients often remark on the immediate relief they feel after the procedure, as discomfort is replaced by restored confidence and the ability to chew and speak without difficulty.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is a root canal painful?
Thanks to modern anesthesia and techniques, root canals are no more painful than having a cavity filled. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure feels.
-
How long does recovery take?
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Mild soreness is common but usually resolves within a few days.
-
Will I need a crown after my root canal?
In most cases, yes. A crown protects and strengthens the treated tooth, especially molars that bear heavy chewing forces.
