Before & After 7

The Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

Here are a few benefits of getting treatment:

Relieves Persistent Pain:

That nagging toothache you’ve been feeling? A root canal directly treats the source, removing infection and easing discomfort almost immediately. It means fewer painkillers and no more sleepless nights.

Saves Your Natural Tooth:

Rather than extracting a damaged tooth, root canal therapy allows us to preserve it. This means better alignment, easier eating, and no hassle of implants or bridges down the line.

Restores Full Function and Appearance:

After a root canal, we restore your tooth with a durable, natural-looking crown. Thanks to our advanced technology, we even offer same-day crowns, so you can leave with a complete smile that feels just right.

The Procedure, Made Comfortable

Using advanced tools and techniques, Dr. Jagow carefully removes the infected or damaged tissue inside the tooth. The space is disinfected, sealed, and prepared for a crown. We focus on minimizing discomfort throughout the procedure, using gentle numbing techniques and a quiet, calming atmosphere. Many patients tell us they’re surprised by how easy the experience feels at Terrace Creek Dental Care, yes, even for a root canal.

Restoration and a Healthy Smile

After your root canal, we’ll place a beautiful, custom-made crown to restore strength and appearance, often on the same day. Our in-house technology allows for a perfect fit without waiting weeks for a lab. Once your crown is placed, you’ll be able to bite, chew, and smile confidently again. We’ll also provide clear guidance on caring for your restored tooth and schedule any needed follow-up to ensure healing is smooth and complete.

Root canal therapy doesn’t have to be daunting, especially when you’re in caring hands. At Terrace Creek Dental Care in Mountlake Terrace, you can count on a relaxing, thoughtful experience that puts your comfort first. Let us help you protect your natural smile with expert care tailored to you.

What an excellent experience, recently had a switch in dentists after a rough experience somewhere else and Kathryn was able to ease all of the past anxiety that I had and made sure I was comfortable! Plus the entire staff was much more pleasant to deal with than my previous experience elsewhere, I really enjoyed coming to this office and will absolutely be coming back. Thank you to all the girls working here they are 10/10

"Dr Jagow and staff are absolutely wonderful. Everyone I have had the chance to meet has been incredibly friendly and helpful. Anthony from the front desk has gone out of his way multiple times to help accommodate scheduling and help with insurance. The techs and assistants are great! Dr Jagow is friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent dentist. I’ve had cleanings, my first crown, and my first veneers in her office and every time has been a great experience. I love that they can print crowns in house. 100% recommend."

"She is very informative about what she is doing. I have now been to see Dr. Jagow twice in the last 3 weeks. Once for a first time cleaning, and second for a filling to be replaced. She is very informative about what she is doing and makes sure you are comfortable with everything before she does it. There was no discomfort at all with anything she did, including drilling out the old filling without numbing me (at my choice). She is that good! As is her staff, they are all, simply amazing!"

Thank you team at Terrace Creek Dental! Also side note, this is one of the few dental clinics I was able to find in the area that provided in-house dental insurance for those that may need it!
