More From Our Patients
I came here for a root canal, and they did a fantastic job. Dr. Borzoo did the surgery, and I didn’t feel much. My teeth hurt for a while and this took away my pain. The surgery took 1-2 hours and I didn’t feel anything.
They have a nice office, the receptionist girls are great! From start to finish they provided me with what I needed for my teeth. Prices are fair, but I think with something as important as teeth you have to think of quality first. Smile Boutique will be my go to for years. I recommended them to my family and they have started coming here as well.

I went in for a free consultation and found out that my cracked molar was infected and in need of a root canal. I came in today and had my root canal performed by Dr. Joelle and Luz, her dental assistant. The two of them worked great together and made sure that my root canal was pain free and completed in a totally professional manner. I am so happy I found Smile Boutique and would recommend Dr. Joelle to anyone looking for a dentist that performs top rate root canals !!
In addition, I found the office and staff to be first rate.

You’ve just been told that the only solution for the pain in your tooth is the dreaded Root Canal. Don’t panic. We will explain the procedure and make your comfort throughout the treatment a priority.
What is a
Root Canal?
A root canal treatment is performed to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or has become infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.
Some indications of the need for root canal treatment may be:
- Spontaneous pain or throbbing while biting.
- Sensitivity to hot and cold foods.
- Severe decay or an injury that creates an abscess (infection) in the bone
Infected/Inflamed
Pulp Tissue
Technically “root canal” is not the name of the procedure but refers instead simply to the natural cavity found in the center of the tooth. The pulp or pulp chamber is the soft area inside the root canal. The tooth’s nerve lies within the root canal. Occasionally, the internal soft tissue (or pulp) of the tooth becomes infected and can result in a serious infection if left untreated.
In fact, the procedure that laymen refer to as a “root canal” is actually known as a pulpectomy to dentists. A pulpectomy is an endodontic treatment to cure an infected root canal. In the old days, damage to the core of a tooth usually meant it had to be removed. Today, however, a “root canal” procedure (or pulpectomy) disinfects and refills the inside of the tooth, thus preventing pain and limiting damage to the tooth.
The Root Canal
Treatment Procedure
The tooth is first anesthetized then a hole is made down into the pulp. Our periodontist uses tiny instruments to extract the remaining pulp from the tooth, thoroughly disinfecting the tooth canal in the process. Once disinfected, the interior of the tooth is filled with an inert material that helps prevent further infection.
At Smile Boutique Beverly Hills we are trained to perform endodontic treatment.
