How we make your root canal experience unique
Our compassionate team takes the time to understand your dental health history and comfort preferences. Our root canal dentists prioritize open communication, ensuring that you are fully informed about the root canal process and addressing any questions or anxieties you may have.
Our root canal process
- Our skilled root canal dentists will perform a thorough examination and x-rays to assess the extent of damage or infection within the tooth.
- Before the procedure begins, the area around the affected tooth will be numbed using local anesthesia, ensuring a painless experience.
- An access point is created in the tooth, and the infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed to clean and disinfect the root canals.
- The cleaned canals are then filled with a biocompatible material known as gutta-percha, sealing them to prevent further infection.
- In most cases, a dental crown is placed on the treated tooth to provide strength and protection, restoring its appearance and functionality.
Frequently asked questions about root canals
Is a root canal procedure painful?
Thanks to our sedation options and modern dental techniques, the procedure itself is generally pain-free. Most discomfort comes from the infection before the treatment. Post-procedure, any mild discomfort or sensitivity can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
How long does a root canal take?
Generally, it can take 1-2 visits. At your appointment, we’ll give you a more accurate timeline based on your specific case.
What should I expect after a root canal?
After a root canal, it’s normal to experience some sensitivity or discomfort in the treated area for a few days. This can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. It’s important to follow any aftercare instructions provided by your dentist, including oral hygiene practices and avoiding chewing on the treated tooth until it has been fully restored.
How successful are root canals?
Root canal treatments are highly successful and can last a lifetime with proper care. Following up with the recommended restoration (like a crown) and maintaining good oral hygiene is key to ensuring the longevity of the treated tooth.
