Root Canals

A root canal is the removal of tissues and/or nerves, damaged by periodontal disease or traumatic injury. Though often thought of with some measure of trepidation, a root canal is often the most efficacious manner of dealing with pain and swelling as a direct result of bacterial or traumatic tooth decay. Should this tooth decay be allowed to persist, the infection may lead to the loss of the tooth and damage to the surrounding gums.

Using various pain-minimizing options, Dr. Eric Berkner and the professional team here at your Oregon City Dentist, Ponderosa Dental Arts can carefully and thoroughly remove this damaged tissue, and seal the affected tooth or teeth to prevent the intrusion of any additional harmful bacteria. Under our expert care, this procedure need be no more invasive than an average filling. We can utilize a wide variety of sedation options to ensure you stay relaxed and pain-free throughout the process.

  • "I went into Ponderosa to have a teeth cleaning. I was extremely impressed with the techniques they use there. I have never had a cleaning so painless in my life. After meeting with Dr. Berkner we discussed a cavity I had. I was able to set up an appointment with ease. The filling was a breeze no pain and very fast. I was in and out in less than an hour. The whole staff was amazing and I look forward to getting to know them more. I will be bringing my whole family to Ponderosa Dental Arts from now on."

  • "...Today I saw Dr Berkner at Ponderosa Dental Arts for two crowns. I was very impressed with the Dr and staff...I left with two great looking and working teeth in place of the two broken ones I came in with. while the technology that they implement is incredible, I think that the Dr and his staff are even more impressive. Thank you so much Dr Berkner. I highly recommend this Dentist and his people."

  • "I live in Bellingham, WA and took a gamble on going to Ponderosa Dental Arts while I was visiting family in the Portland area. I think this is the first time I've been to a dental office where I didn't have to wait a half an hour to be seen. Dr. Berkner and his staff were friendly and made me feel at ease...Couldn't have had a better experience! I'll be making a trip from Washington to Oregon City twice a year just to not have to deal with other dental offices again."

    -Greta M. (Yelp user)
