Will my root canal hurt?

We use modern techniques and anesthesia to ensure that you feel comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. While you may feel some discomfort afterward, it’s typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How long does the procedure take?

A standard root canal typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case. Our team will make sure you're comfortable throughout the procedure.

How can I tell if I need a root canal?

Common signs include prolonged tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a small bump on your gums near the affected tooth. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule a consultation for an evaluation.

Can I go back to work after a root canal?

Yes, most patients can return to their normal activities on the same day as their procedure. You may experience some tenderness, but this shouldn’t interfere with your daily routine.

Is a root canal better than extracting the tooth?

Yes, a root canal allows you to keep your natural tooth, which is always preferable to extraction. Preserving your teeth helps maintain their alignment and prevents the need for more complex dental procedures in the future.

How long will my treated tooth last?

With proper care, a tooth that has undergone a root canal can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential to maintaining your tooth’s health.
