At Surf City Dental, we understand that the words “root canal” can make patients nervous — but we’re here to change that. Dr. Shayla Stear combines modern endodontic technology with gentle techniques and safe sedation options to ensure your comfort from start to finish.
A root canal isn’t something to fear, it’s actually the best way to relieve pain, stop infection, and save your natural tooth. At Surf City Dental, Dr. Shayla Stear provides comfortable, advanced treatment that helps you heal quickly and smile with confidence again.
Root canal treatment removes the source of infection and pressure, providing almost immediate relief from constant tooth pain.
With nitrous oxide or oral sedation, you can relax completely during your procedure. Most patients say their root canal felt no different than getting a filling
Dr. Stear uses digital imaging and rotary endodontic tools for precise, efficient, and gentle treatment — minimizing chair time and maximizing comfort.
Most root canals can be completed in a single appointment, so you can get back to normal life quickly — without multiple trips.
Once restored, your tooth is strong, stable, and protected. Preventing future problems and preserving your smile for years to come.
