Root canal therapy is a restorative dental treatment that removes infected pulp from inside a tooth. It eliminates pain, protects your natural tooth, and prevents future infections—allowing you to keep your smile intact and healthy.
During root canal therapy, we carefully clean and disinfect the tooth’s inner chamber, remove the infected tissue, and seal it. In most cases, a dental crown is placed afterward to strengthen and protect your restored tooth.
Root canal therapy relieves intense tooth pain, stops infection from spreading, and saves your natural tooth. It restores comfort, function, and health so you can bite, chew, and smile with confidence again.
Root Canal Therapy
Comfortably treats tooth infection while helping you keep your natural smile.
Root canal therapy is often recommended for patients with deep decay, cracks, or lingering tooth sensitivity. If you’re experiencing discomfort or swelling, this treatment can help preserve your natural tooth and avoid extraction while restoring health and function.
Most patients say root canal therapy feels similar to getting a dental filling. After numbing the area, we gently treat the tooth in one or two visits. It’s a simple, comfortable process that helps relieve pain and get you back to your routine quickly.
Root canal therapy usually takes 60–90 minutes. Some cases require a second visit if a crown is needed. Most patients can return to work or normal activities right after the appointment—making this a convenient solution for busy professionals.
After root canal therapy, your tooth may feel a little sensitive for a few days. Avoid hard or chewy foods until the permanent crown is placed. With proper care, the treated tooth can stay strong and healthy for years to come.
Recovery from root canal therapy is usually quick and easy. Mild soreness is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients feel better within a day or two. Following your aftercare instructions will help ensure a smooth healing process.
