A root canal procedure may be necessary when a tooth is severely decayed, infected, or damaged. Typically, root canal treatment helps you avoid losing an unhealthy tooth.
With our innovative technology and skilled professionals at our modern, state-of-the-art dental practice in Weehawken, we provide the best root canal treatment for Hoboken, West New York, Edgewater, and Bulls Ferry patients. Our root canal therapy is performed in a relaxing environment where your comfort is our priority. With fast and gentle techniques, you can rest assured that your root canal will be as comfortable and quick as possible.
A root canal is a procedure designed to remove infection from the core of a tooth, where dental pulp and nerves reside. When bacteria enter this area — often through chips, cracks, decay, or fractures — they can cause painful infections or abscesses that, if untreated, may lead to tooth loss. A root canal in Weehawken thoroughly cleans out the infection, relieves discomfort, and strengthens the tooth, allowing you to preserve your natural smile.
Our highly trained expert team can determine whether you need an endodontic procedure, such as a root canal. However, there are some signs to look out for which can indicate you require a root canal treatment. The symptoms include abscessed teeth and gums accompanied by drainage, persistent pain or throbbing while chewing, sensitivity to hot and cold foods and beverages, tenderness in the gums and lymph nodes, swollen gums, or discoloration of a tooth.
Common symptoms of needing a root canal include:
Root canal treatment is a routine process requiring one or two dental visits. Digital X-rays can help assess the degree of tooth decay and bacterial infection. To begin treatment, local anesthesia is the preferred method to numb the tooth and the surrounding area so that there is no discomfort.
When you are fully numb, our root canal specialists in Weehawken create a hole in the tooth, allowing access to the infected inner portion. Our root canal specialist then removes damaged tissue, bacteria, and debris. Lastly, the canal is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
When the pulp has been fully removed, our root canal specialist seals the nerve canal and places a temporary filling until you are ready for the permanent filling and crown. A custom-made crown or bridge is then used to cap the tooth.
Most people experience immediate pain relief after the root canal procedure.
Tooth extraction in Weehawken is sometimes the only option for broken or severely decayed teeth. Extractions are also typically recommended for wisdom teeth. We know the thought of removing a tooth can be nerve-wracking, so we have streamlined the process to be straightforward, painless, and fast.
When extracting a tooth, it is important to preserve the jawbone in the area where the tooth once was. One of our expert dental providers may speak to you about dental implants, bone grafting, or other preservation procedures to accomplish this.

Loved my experience here! The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the office is clean and beautiful. Dr. Kaplan was great - he was friendly, didn't rush anything, answered all of my questions, and did my teeth cleaning himself. Very happy to have Skyline Dental for my future dentist visits.
Thank you Dr Kaplan and the staff at Skyline Dental! I had a great experience during my check-up and cleaning. Dr. Kaplan made me feel comfortable and explained dental treatments thoroughly! Skyline Dental truly makes your dentist appointments smooth sailing, (painless too) looking forward to my next visit in six months.
Have had a great experience with Skyline Dental. Dr. Kaplan takes time to explain what’s going on and answer any questions while the reception crew is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Never have trouble getting through to them or receiving the information I need! Definitely recommend.
I’ve had a great experience working with Dr. Kaplan and his team. Everyone has been extremely professional and great during Covid. The work Dr. Kaplan does is excellent as well. I would definitely recommend working with the team at Skyline Dental Designs
Beautiful office, fantastic staff! Dr. Kaplan is very thoughtful and patient. Pays close attention and puts your best interests first. I never felt uncomfortable even though I had to fill so many cavities on my first appointment here. The BEST dentist!!
I’m fairly new to the area and was looking for a new dentist office. I'm so glad I chose to check out Skyline! The staff is very welcoming and kind. The dentist took his time to answer all of my questions and was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend checking them out if you’re looking!
I have been seeing Dr. Kaplan for a couple of months to correct some cavities and look into orthodontics options. I'm very pleased with this practice overall as well as with the doctor. The staff is kind and responsive, the doctor is very attentive and gives you time if you have questions. Very recommended!
Seamless process from start to finish. Dr. Kaplan is the most thorough dentist I've been to. He took the time to get to know me and my oral health/goals. Explained my options and treatment plan. His actual treatment (for fillings) was completely painless!
