Dr. Yi at Renov Dental is truly one of a kind. From the very first moment, she took her time with me and was incredibly thorough — I never felt like just another patient being rushed through. Her kindness put me at ease right away, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about the people she treats. Her hygienist went above and beyond as well, offering me a pillow for comfort and making sure the room had a pleasant, calming scent — those little touches really made a difference. What really stood out was Dr. Yi's honesty. She gave me a straightforward assessment of my dental health without any unnecessary upselling or pressure. I always felt like she had my best interests at heart. I highly recommend Dr. Yi and her wonderful team to anyone looking for a dentist who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and completely trustworthy.

We have been patients of Dr Yi for over a decade. When she moved to Claremont I decided that the hour plus drive to see her was worth it for myself and my son. Just recently after going to see multiple dentists and not receiving the same quality of care she provides my husband followed suit and made the change. As luck would have it, my husband cracked a tooth on a Saturday of all days. He sent a text message to the office informing them of the emergency. Dr Yi took the time to communicate with him on Easter Sunday and had him in on Monday. My husband was worried about loosing the tooth and all the money he would have to spend on an implant. Dr Yi worked her magic and saved the tooth. Any other denstist would have pulled it but she truly cares about her patients not just making a buck. She is always kind, takes the time to listen to your concerns and always tries to provide the best care and recommends the best path forward when it comes to deciding on a treatment plan. Truly the best dentist and staff.

Finding Dr. Yi was the best thing I have done for my dental health. I had avoided visiting the dentist for twenty years due to extreme fear. Well, Dr. Yi’s patience, kindness, and gentleness calmed my nerves, so much so that I was able to get my dental health back on track. I can truly say that I am no longer afraid of going to the dentist. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Yi and her amazing staff.

My husband and I completed our full dental treatment with Dr. Sally Yi at Renov Dental Group, and it was truly one of the best dental experiences we’ve ever had. The professionalism, care, attention to detail, and genuinely warm atmosphere were present at every step — from the very first visit to the final result. I’ve always been very afraid of pain and dentists, but Dr. Yi treated me with such tenderness and care, as if I were her own daughter. That sense of safety and respect for my fears was priceless. She explained everything calmly, worked gently and precisely, and I felt trust from the very beginning. A special thank you to Kristine, who was always incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. Even the little touches — like the drink fridge at the entrance — show how much they care about their patients. All the juices are sugar-free! Isn’t that just the sweetest thing? We’re deeply grateful to the entire team for their professionalism, warmth, and heartfelt care. We’re your patients for life now ❤️

Dr. Yi is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable in her expertise. Dr. Yi is the first dentist I have had in my entire 34 years of life who has taken the time to give excellent advice with top-tier bedside manner. Dr. Yi spent time thoroughly explaining each procedure to me and visually showing me in my X-rays the issue at hand. In addition, Dr. Yi made it very clear that my dental care was my choice and she would support each of my decisions. I felt comfortable, informed, and welcomed in her care. This level of care I’ve received from Dr. Yi is exceptional. Lastly, her office staff is equally as talented and courteous. They provided a great environment of support, knowledge and care. I will continue to come back to Dr. Yi’s office and recommend her practice to new patients looking for a group who truly cares about your dental health. I also loved the small details in her practice (essential oils, drinks at the front, copies of procedures prior to agreeing). The above components add up to a great experience for any patient looking for competent, intelligent and talented clinicians!

How do I know if I need a root canal or just a filling?+

A filling may be enough if decay is limited to the outer layers of the tooth. A root canal is more likely when the pulp inside the tooth is inflamed or infected, which can cause lingering pain, sensitivity, swelling, or tenderness when biting. An exam and X-rays are usually needed to confirm the best treatment.

What symptoms can mean I need root canal treatment?+

Common signs include severe tooth pain, pain that lingers after hot or cold exposure, swelling around the tooth or gums, a pimple-like bump on the gum, or discomfort when chewing. Some teeth with infection may not hurt much at first, so symptoms can vary.

Is root canal treatment painful?+

The procedure is performed with local anesthesia, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain during treatment. Afterward, some soreness or tenderness is possible, and it usually improves over time. Individual comfort and recovery can vary.

How long does root canal treatment take?+

Treatment time depends on which tooth is involved, how complex the infection is, and whether the tooth needs additional steps. Some cases can be completed in one visit, while others may require more than one appointment.

Will I need a crown after a root canal?+

Many back teeth need a crown after root canal treatment because they handle more chewing force. Whether a crown is recommended depends on the tooth’s condition, location, and how much natural structure remains.

What should I do if pain or swelling gets worse after treatment?+

Some mild soreness can be normal, but worsening pain, increasing swelling, fever, or a bite that feels significantly off should be reported to the office. Your provider can determine whether the symptoms are part of normal healing or need follow-up care.

What to Expect From Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is designed to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth and help preserve the natural tooth whenever possible. The exact steps can vary depending on the tooth, the extent of infection, and whether additional restorative work is needed afterward.

In many cases, the visit includes diagnostic imaging, numbing the area, cleaning and shaping the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to help reduce the risk of reinfection. Some teeth may need a temporary filling first, followed by a permanent restoration or crown at a later visit.

After treatment, patients are usually given home-care instructions and guidance on what level of soreness is normal. Because healing can vary from person to person, follow-up may be recommended to confirm that the tooth is responding as expected.

Who Is a Candidate for Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment may be recommended for patients with deep decay, a cracked or injured tooth, repeated dental work on the same tooth, or signs that the pulp inside the tooth is inflamed or infected. It is often considered when the goal is to save the natural tooth rather than remove it.

Not every tooth can be treated predictably with a root canal alone. If the tooth has severe structural damage, advanced infection, or other concerns that affect long-term stability, additional treatment or extraction may be discussed. A dental exam and imaging help determine whether root canal treatment is the right option.

If you have ongoing pain, pressure when biting, or swelling, it is best to seek evaluation sooner rather than later.

Limitations and Important Cautions

Root canal treatment can help address infection inside a tooth, but results and recovery can vary from patient to patient. Some teeth may still require additional restoration, and in certain cases retreatment or extraction may be discussed if the tooth cannot be predictably saved.

Temporary soreness, tenderness when chewing, or mild swelling can occur after treatment. These symptoms are not the same for everyone and usually improve with time, but any worsening pain, persistent swelling, or unusual symptoms should be reported to the dental office.

Because every case is different, your dentist will review the expected benefits, possible risks, and next steps before treatment begins.

What’s Included in Your Root Canal Visit

A root canal visit typically begins with an exam and imaging to confirm the source of the problem. From there, the dentist reviews the tooth, explains the recommended treatment, and discusses whether the tooth may also need a crown or other restoration later.

Depending on the case, treatment may include local anesthesia, cleaning the inside of the tooth, disinfecting the canals, and placing a temporary or permanent seal. The goal is to address the infection while preserving the tooth when possible.

Your visit may also include aftercare instructions, medication guidance if appropriate, and a follow-up plan so the tooth can be monitored after treatment.

Schedule a Root Canal Consultation

If you are experiencing tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity, do not wait for the problem to worsen. A consultation can help determine whether root canal treatment is appropriate and what next steps may be needed.

Renov Dental Group welcomes patients from San Dimas and nearby communities who want prompt evaluation and clear guidance. Contact the office to schedule an appointment and discuss your symptoms with a dental professional.
