EXPERT ROOT CANAL THERAPY IN COLUMBIA, SC

With advanced technology and a gentle approach, we are a trusted provider for root canal therapy in Columbia, SC, serving the entire family.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected pulp to save the natural tooth and prevent further damage. If you experience pain and sensitivity, you might benefit from a root canal. It relieves pain and preserves your tooth.

When Do You Need a Root Canal?

You will benefit from a root canal if you experience: persistent tooth pain, swollen or tender gums, sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when chewing or biting, or infection. Through a comprehensive exam and digital X-rays, your dentist will confirm if a root canal is the right treatment for you.

How Does a Root Canal Procedure Work?

The root canal procedure follows a clear, comfortable process:

  1. Exams and X-rays
  2. Local anesthesia for pain-free treatment
  3. Thorough cleaning of the canal to remove the infected pulp
  4. Sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection
  5. Crown placement to restore functionality
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?

Modern root canal treatment is comfortable and stress-free thanks to advanced anesthesia. Most patients say it feels similar to getting a filling. It is far less painful than living with an infected tooth.

How Much Does a Root Canal Cost?

The cost of a root canal depends on the tooth location and the complexity of the infection. Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of root canal treatment, but we also offer flexible options to make it affordable. Schedule a consultation today to discuss your coverage.

A great start towards my new smile 😁😁😁. I had another amazing experience yesterday on the 24th January. I was scheduled for one tooth extraction, but it was so pleasant and the Dentist technic was so enjoyable, to include his bedside manner along with his technician. I asked Dr Farhan if I could just have my other tooth that needed pulling. Pulled right now. So the procedure again was successful and a joy. No problems what so ever. They got a special kind of skill going on with the entire team at RiccoBene Associates. Thank again for a wonderful experience.

First off nikki at the front desk is amazing she is the sweetest cutest soul. The hygenist i believe her name was elaina took her time and was gentle which i love with having senitive teeth. The dentist himself does not push anything on you which i truly appreciate. Im happy I gave them a shot considering this was my very first dentist experience in columbia.There is also another girl who works there and i apologize im not great with names,but she is a jack of all trades and deserves a mention as well! great staff!

I had an excellent first visit for dentures. Dr. Riccobene went above and beyond to get my imprints correct. My mouth is small and he adjusted the trays. I definitely recommend him and his staff. They were friendly, professional and kind.

Going to the dentist can be like going to get an oil change-you go in expecting to get one thing and then they try to upsell you on several other things that you never asked for. After a previous experience with an apparent dollar-focused dental clinic, I was relieved to find in Riccobene an honest, straightforward practice. So here's a quick snapshot of my Riccobene experience. Customer service: Top tier! Ms. Nikki, the office manager, is amazing. She was awesome with handling the transfer of my case. Ms. Aury at the front desk is very warm and welcoming. Dr. Farhan was knowledgeable and polite. Mr. Chris, the dental hygienist, was extremely thorough in my cleaning. Scheduling: On point! Whereas many other offices had a waiting period of up to two months, I was able to get in within a week of calling. Environment: Very elegant decor with the latest cutting-edge technology. Services: Chef's kiss! My deep cleaning left me feeling like a new person. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and am happy to have found my new dental home.
