Tooth pain can take over your day and make it hard to think about anything else. At Friendly Smiles Center in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, we provide gentle, effective root canal treatment that is designed to relieve pain, save your natural tooth, and help you feel like yourself again.
Led by Dr. Robert Chase, DMD, our team combines advanced technology with a calm, supportive environment so you can get the care you need with confidence. From your first visit, you are treated like a person, not a number, with plenty of time for questions and clear explanations at every step.
A root canal is a common procedure that can save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected instead of removing it. By cleaning and sealing the inside of the tooth, we can stop pain, protect your overall oral health, and help you keep a strong, natural smile.
At Friendly Smiles Center, your comfort and convenience are always part of the plan. With our in-house dental lab and advanced digital technology, your treatment can be more precise, efficient, and comfortable than traditional methods.
Benefits of having your root canal treatment with us include:
We also offer sedation options for patients who feel nervous about dental treatment, so you can relax and feel more at ease during your visit.
Before recommending a root canal, Dr. Chase will carefully evaluate your tooth and review your X-rays with you in simple, easy-to-understand language. You will know what is happening, why it is needed, and what your options are so you can make informed decisions without pressure.
During the procedure, the inside of the tooth is gently cleaned and disinfected, then sealed to help prevent future infection. In many cases, a custom crown is recommended to strengthen the tooth. Thanks to our in-house dental lab and technology like Primescan, we can design and create crowns on-site, often on the same day you are treated. This means no messy impressions, no temporary crowns, and fewer visits overall.
Throughout the appointment, our team checks in with you, adjusts for your comfort, and makes sure you feel supported from start to finish.
Patients trust Friendly Smiles Center for root canal treatment because they know they will be heard, respected, and cared for. Dr. Chase is known locally by his peers and patients for his thorough approach, attention to detail, and patient-friendly explanations that make complex treatment feel understandable.
Our modern Mount Laurel office is clean, calming, and thoughtfully designed to reduce stress, with comforts like soft blankets, in-chair TVs, and minimally invasive techniques. With hundreds of 5-star Google reviews, patients consistently share that they feel welcomed, listened to, and reassured here.
We accept most dental insurance plans and offer flexible payment options that help make high-quality care more accessible. While Medicaid is not accepted, our team is happy to help you understand your benefits and plan your care in a way that fits your needs and your budget.
Common signs include tooth pain that does not go away, sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting or chewing, swelling, or a darkening of the tooth. The only way to know for sure is to be evaluated by a dentist, and Dr. Chase will walk you through what he sees and why he recommends a particular treatment.
Root canal treatment is designed to relieve pain, not cause it. With modern techniques and anesthetic, most patients report feeling only mild pressure during the procedure. If you are anxious or have had difficult experiences in the past, sedation options are available to help you relax.
The length of a root canal visit can vary based on the tooth and the extent of the infection. Dr. Chase will give you a clear idea of what to expect for your specific case. Thanks to our in-house technology, any needed crown can often be completed in the same visit, saving you time.
After a root canal, the tooth can be more fragile. A crown fits over the tooth like a protective cap, helping to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. With our in-house lab and Primescan technology, crowns can often be created and placed on the same day, so you leave with a strong, natural-looking result.
Friendly Smiles Center works with most dental insurance plans to help you maximize your benefits. Before treatment begins, our team can review your coverage details and discuss flexible payment options for any remaining balance.
If a tooth is too damaged or infected, removal may be the only alternative. In that case, options like implants, bridges, or dentures can replace the missing tooth. Whenever possible, Dr. Chase will recommend saving your natural tooth with a root canal because this typically provides the most natural feel and function.
Many dental insurance plans provide coverage for root canal treatment, but benefits can vary. Our front office team will help you review your plan, estimate coverage, and discuss payment options before treatment so you know what to expect.
