What is root canal therapy?

When decay, cracks, or injury reach the soft pulp inside a tooth, bacteria can cause inflammation, infection, and significant pain. Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue, cleans and seals the inside of the tooth, and allows the tooth to be restored. With modern anesthesia and careful technique, treatment is typically much more comfortable than its reputation suggests, and saving the natural tooth can help maintain your bite and prevent shifting.

Signs you may need a root canal

Severe or lingering tooth pain
Pain when chewing or biting
Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
A deep cavity near the nerve
A cracked tooth involving the pulp
Swelling or an abscess near a tooth

Your treatment journey

We diagnose the source of pain, numb the tooth, clean and seal the canal system, then plan the final restoration.

Diagnosis

We examine the tooth and take X-rays to determine whether the nerve is infected or inflamed.

Comfort & cleaning

After numbing, the infected tissue is removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned.

Seal & protect

The canal system is sealed to reduce the chance of reinfection.

Final restoration

A crown or filling is planned to protect the tooth and restore chewing strength.

Common Questions

Root Canal, answered.

Does a root canal hurt?

The tooth is numbed before treatment, so the procedure should be comfortable. The goal is to relieve the infection-related pain that brought you in.

How long does a root canal take?

Many root canals are completed in one or two visits, depending on the tooth, the number of canals, and the extent of infection.

Will I need a crown afterward?

Many back teeth and heavily damaged teeth need a crown after root canal therapy to protect them from fracture. We will recommend the right restoration for your case.

Is it better to pull the tooth instead?

When a tooth can be predictably saved, root canal therapy is often preferred because it preserves your natural tooth and bite. We will explain extraction and replacement options when saving the tooth is not the best choice.
