Why patients choose Deluxe for root canals
Your Root Canal and Your Crown, Finished in One Office Instead of Two
An endodontist’s office treats the canals, then sends you back to your own dentist for the crown, with new appointments and a tooth waiting unprotected in between. At Deluxe, the whole job stays in one office. The ADA explains what a root canal involves.
| A specialist referral | Your root canal at Deluxe | |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnosis | Your dentist, then a second consultation at another office | One exam with digital x-rays |
| The root canal | At the specialist’s office | Root canal performed in-house |
| Your crown | Back at your dentist, weeks later | Your new crown is placed the same day |
| A post when little tooth remains | Another visit, another office | Fiber post in the same office |
| Sedation | Varies by office | Nitrous, oral or IV, given by Dr. Godko |
| Pain today | Wait for an opening | Same-day emergency root canals at both offices |

Your exam decides whether the tooth can be saved; when it can’t, the replacement is planned in the same visit.
Quick self-check
Could Your Tooth Need a Root Canal?
Tap anything you’re noticing. Each one is a reason to have the tooth checked with x-rays.
Tap anything that sounds familiar
Catch it early
Nothing yet? Regular exams with digital x-rays find a pulp in trouble before it becomes an emergency.
Why it happens
What Puts the Pulp at Risk
The pulp at the center of every tooth holds its nerve and blood supply. Once bacteria or an injury damage it, it can’t heal on its own, and root canal treatment is how the tooth is saved.
A deep cavity
Decay that isn’t treated works its way through the enamel and dentin until bacteria reach the pulp.
A crack or chip
Even a fine crack can let bacteria in and inflame the pulp, especially in back teeth that take heavy bites.
An injury
A blow to the mouth can damage the pulp even when the tooth looks fine, and it may darken months later.
Repeated work
Several large fillings or procedures on one tooth can irritate the pulp over time.
How it works
Root Canal Treatment, One Step at a Time
Tap through the treatment, from the infected tooth to your new crown.
Step1of5
An infected tooth
Deep decay, a crack or an injury lets bacteria reach the pulp, the soft nerve tissue inside the tooth. It becomes inflamed or infected.

Two Paths for an Infected Tooth
Saving your natural tooth comes first at Deluxe. Extraction is recommended only when a tooth can’t be restored, and then Dr. Godko removes it himself and plans the replacement. See tooth extraction.
Root canal + crown
Save the tooth
- Your natural tooth, root and all, stays in place
- Normal bite force and efficient chewing
- Neighboring teeth keep their support and don’t drift
- No gap to fill with an implant, a bridge or a partial

Aftercare
After Your Root Canal
Recovery is usually quick. These simple steps help the tooth settle and keep it healthy.
Wait for the numbness to fade
Eat once the numbness wears off, so you don’t bite your cheek, lip or tongue.
Go gently for a few days
Mild tenderness when you bite is normal at first. Softer foods on that side help while it settles.
Keep brushing and flossing
Clean the treated tooth like any other, right along the gumline around its crown.
Have changes checked
Swelling, pain that grows instead of easing, or a bite that feels high should be checked. Both offices are ready to immediately assist with any concerns.
Protect it if you grind
A custom night guard protects the crown and the treated tooth while you sleep.
Keep your checkups
Regular exams with x-rays confirm the area around the root is healing and catch new decay early.

FAQ
Root Canal Treatment in Skillman, NJ: Your Questions, Answered
Root canal treatment is priced at your personalized consultation, once Dr. Godko has examined the tooth: a molar has more canals than a front tooth, and some teeth need a post. Your treatment plan names every step, the root canal, any post and core and the crown, with its cost before anything starts. Without insurance, our in-house membership plans save 10–15% on additional dental services, or you can use 0% financing through Cherry.
The severe pain comes from the infected nerve, and the root canal removes it. The tooth is fully numbed first, so treatment feels much like getting a filling. If you’re nervous, Dr. Godko gives nitrous oxide, oral sedation or IV sedation, in which you can still respond, himself.
Dr. Maxim Godko, an 8-Time Top Doctor, performs root canal therapy in-house at 40 Nevius Blvd, Suite 150, without referring you to an outside endodontist. Deluxe offers periodontal, endodontic, prosthodontic and oral surgery services under one roof.
One visit for most teeth. A molar has more canals than a front tooth, so it takes longer, and a complex case, such as a curved canal or a heavy infection, gets a second appointment. A treated tooth is more brittle, so it gets a crown, and your new crown is placed the same day, so the tooth goes home protected instead of waiting weeks for another appointment.
Call (609) 303-2005 or (609) 400-1393 as the office opens: same-day emergency root canals are available at both offices. The Skillman, NJ office opens at 9 am Monday to Friday, and the Lawrenceville, NJ office is also open Saturdays from 9 am to 2 pm.
Yes. Dr. Godko goes over your digital x-rays with you: how much healthy tooth remains, whether a crack reaches the root and how much bone supports it. If the tooth can be restored, he saves it with a root canal; if it can’t, he tells you why and plans the replacement, and you see the options and their cost before you decide.
We accept PPO plans and most carriers, including CIGNA, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Delta Dental and GEHA Connection Dental. No Medicaid, DMO or HMO plans accepted. We work with your insurance to ensure you receive the maximum benefit, and your treatment plan shows every step and its cost before anything starts.
Root canal treatment has a high success rate. A tooth can become reinfected through new decay, a crack or a leaking restoration; then retreatment, an apicoectomy (root-end surgery) when appropriate, a new crown or an extraction is the next step, and Dr. Godko explains which one fits.
Without traffic, about 9 minutes from Belle Mead, NJ on Route 206, about 13 minutes from Hopewell, NJ on County Route 518 and about 13 minutes from Kendall Park, NJ by Route 27 and County Route 518.
At 40 Nevius Blvd, Suite 150, Skillman, NJ 08558, in the Montgomery Promenade just off Route 206, open Monday to Thursday, 9 am to 6 pm, and Friday, 9 am to 5 pm. Every procedure is also available at our Lawrenceville, NJ office, which adds evenings until 7 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
