What is a Root Canal?
Removing infected or traumatized tissue from the interior of the pulp rooting containing nerves and blood vessels of a tooth is what’s called root canal treatment. Once that pulp has been removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Then, it’s protected with a filling or crown for strength through the years.
It’s like giving back a second opportunity to your tooth in life. Not requiring extraction. Not any more pain.
Why Might You Need One?
You might need a root canal if you’re experiencing:
- Persistent tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swollen or tender gums
- Darkening of the tooth
- Pimples or bumps on the gums
In some cases, you may have no symptoms at all — which is why regular checkups matter! Catching an infection early means easier treatment and better outcomes.

What’s the Procedure Like?
It’s actually very routine and simple. So, what happens here?
Step 1: Examine and take X-rays
We check the tooth and collect digital X-rays, which show what is occurring beneath the surface.
Step 2: Numbing
We numbed the area so you won’t feel a thing – although, if you’re nervous, we have some relaxation options.
Step 3: Cleaning
A small access hole is drilled into the tooth, and the infected pulp is cleaned out from the tooth and disinfected through the canals.
Step 4: Filling
Special material fills that area to stabilize the tooth inside. It will help keep it stable.
Step 5: Restoration
Depending on the case, we would crown them or fill them to prevent future damage from sticking to your tooth.
And that is it! The approximation needs just one to two visits.

FAQs
A root canal takes how long?
Usually between 60 and 90 minutes; some may require a follow-up visit to crown the tooth.
Isn’t it better just to pull out the teeth?
Usually, saving your natural tooth is the best option. It maintains balance and avoids the shift in biting.
What would be the cost?
Costs vary by case but are open, and above-the-board pricing, insurance, and payment plans are available.
Will a crown be needed afterward?
Almost all back teeth require a crown to maintain strength after a root canal. For front teeth, it depends. We’ll advise you.
