Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS IT?

A root canal is a procedure that extracts decayed tissue from inside a tooth, reshapes the canal and replaces it with strengthened filler. There are a number of reasons a root canal may be necessary, including dental injuries, severe decay and infection or inflammation in the tooth pulp. When left untreated, these problems can cause extensive damage to the tooth structure.

Root canals can typically be completed in one visit, although more extensive cases may require another appointment. You will also be able to drive yourself home after the appointment.

HOW LONG DOES TREATMENT TAKE?

Root canal treatment typically takes around 2 hours. In some cases, a patient may need to have other dental work completed to allow for safe and effective root canal therapy.

Many people believe that root canals are painful, but the actual procedure is rather painless. When our dentists have sufficiently numbed your mouth, they will perform your root canal therapy quickly and efficiently to ensure that your infection doesn’t spread.
