What is a root canal?
Root canal therapy is a highly effective procedure to treat infected or damaged teeth, alleviating pain and preventing further complications. We’re dedicated to preserving your natural teeth and maintaining your oral health.
Pain relief and tooth preservation
Root canals can relieve the intense pain caused by infected or damaged teeth, allowing you to keep your natural tooth instead of extracting it.
Advanced technology and techniques
We use the latest technology and techniques to ensure precise and efficient root canal treatments, minimizing discomfort and promoting faster recovery.
Comfortable and compassionate care
Our team is committed to providing a comfortable and supportive environment, making your root canal experience as stress-free as possible.
What to expect during your root canal appointment
- Discuss your symptoms and dental history with our team, who will conduct a thorough examination and may take x-rays to assess the condition of the tooth.
- We’ll numb the affected area, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
- We’ll carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp, and clean, shape, and disinfect the canals to eliminate bacteria.
- Once cleaned, we’ll fill the canals with a biocompatible material to seal them and prevent future infection.
- We’ll place a crown or permanent filling to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
Common questions about root canals
Is a root canal painful?
Modern root canal treatments are designed to be as pain-free as possible. With oral sedation and advanced techniques, most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Post-treatment discomfort is usually minimal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Symptoms indicating the need for a root canal include severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling or tenderness in the gums, and a darkening of the tooth. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact us for an evaluation.
How long does a root canal take?
The duration of a root canal procedure can vary depending on the complexity of the case. Typically, the treatment can be completed in 1 to 2 visits, each lasting about 60 to 90 minutes.
What happens after a root canal?
After a root canal, it's essential to follow your post-treatment care instructions. You may experience mild discomfort for a few days, which can be managed with pain relievers. A follow-up appointment is usually needed to place a crown or filling to protect and restore the treated tooth if not done on the same day.
