Our skilled team will do all we can to ensure your root canal treatment is comfortable and stress-free. Using local anesthetic, we make sure you’re completely numb before starting your procedure. For added comfort, we provide soft blankets, pillows, and stress balls to help you relax. If you’re feeling especially nervous, you can receive sedation to ease your concerns.
During your root canal procedure, you can expect these steps:
- We will take detailed digital X-rays to plan your precise treatment.
- The affected tooth will be thoroughly numbed for your comfort.
- Your dentist creates a small opening to access the tooth’s inner chamber.
- Infected tissue is carefully removed from inside your tooth.
- The canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.
- The cleaned canals are filled with special material to prevent future infection and maintain your dental structure.
- A temporary filling seals your tooth.
In most cases, your dentist will suggest a custom crown. This strong, natural-looking cap fits perfectly over your tooth, preventing further damage and ensuring long-lasting results. The crown helps you bite and chew normally while protecting your investment in your dental health.
Modern root canal therapy typically takes just one or two visits to complete, and most patients return to their normal activities the next day. With proper care, your treated tooth can last a lifetime.
