Why choose root canal therapy?
Root canal therapy removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, disinfects the root canals, and seals them to preserve your natural tooth and relieve pain. At Santa Monica Endodontics and Root Canal Care, Dr. Richard Haber uses modern techniques and comfort-focused protocols to make the experience efficient and as comfortable as possible.

Frequently asked questions
With modern anesthesia and sedation when appropriate, most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure and relief afterward from the toothache that led them here.
A typical appointment lasts 60–90 minutes for most teeth. Complex cases or multi-rooted teeth can take longer or require a follow-up visit.
Often a crown or other permanent restoration is recommended after root canal therapy to protect and restore function, especially on back teeth.
