Frequently Asked Questions
Your path to a healthier smile starts with clarity. Find the answers you need to move forward with confidence.
What is a root canal?
A root canal is a treatment used to remove infection from inside a tooth. The pulp is cleaned out, the space is disinfected, and the tooth is sealed and restored—typically with a crown.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common signs include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a darkened tooth. A dental exam and X-rays will confirm whether a root canal is needed.
Is a root canal painful?
No. Modern root canals are done with local anesthesia and are generally no more uncomfortable than a dental filling. Most patients feel immediate relief afterward.
How long does a root canal take?
A standard root canal can often be completed in one visit, though complex cases or re-treatments may require a second appointment.
What happens after a root canal?
We typically restore the tooth with a crown to protect it and restore function. With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last for many years.
