Root Canal Therapy

  • A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat and save a tooth that’s infected or badly decayed. Instead of removing the tooth, the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside) is carefully cleaned out, disinfected, and sealed—preserving your natural tooth and preventing future problems.

    Root canals have a reputation, but with today’s techniques and technology, the process is comfortable, efficient, and effective.

  • You may need a root canal if you’re experiencing:

    • Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity (especially to heat or cold)

    • Swelling or tenderness near the tooth

    • Darkening or discoloration of the tooth

    • A pimple-like bump on the gums

    • Deep decay or trauma to the tooth

    1. Diagnosis: We use advanced imaging to assess the tooth.

    2. Numbing: Local anesthesia ensures you’re completely comfortable.

    3. Cleaning: The infected pulp is removed, and the canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

    4. Filling: The space is sealed with a biocompatible material.

    5. Protection: A crown is usually placed over the tooth to protect and restore function.

  • Q: Is a root canal painful?
    A: No. Most patients say it feels similar to getting a filling. We use local anesthesia to ensure the procedure is pain-free.

    Q: How long does the procedure take?
    A: Most root canals can be completed in one visit, though some complex cases may require a second appointment.

    Q: Will I need a crown afterward?
    A: In most cases, yes. A crown protects the treated tooth and restores full function and appearance.

    Q: How long does a root canal-treated tooth last?
    A: With proper care and a crown, it can last a lifetime.
