When Is Root Canal Treatment Needed?

A root canal treatment becomes necessary when infection or damage reaches the tooth’s pulp—the soft tissue inside containing nerves and blood vessels. Left untreated, this can lead to abscesses or tooth loss. Look out for these signs that may indicate you need root canal treatment:

✅ Severe, persistent toothache.

✅ Extreme sensitivity to hot or cold.

✅ Swollen or tender gums near the tooth.

✅ Darkening or discoloration of the tooth.

During your visit, we’ll perform a thorough exam, including X-rays, to confirm if root canal treatment is the best solution for you.

What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment

Step 1: Diagnosis

We use X-rays and a surgical microscope to inspect the tooth, revealing cracks, fractures, and infection.

Step 2: Procedure

After numbing the area, we open the tooth, remove the infected pulp and abscess, and clean the inner canals.

Step 3: Filling

The tooth is sealed with a biocompatible material to protect it long-term.

Step 4: Visualization

Watch the process on a TV screen as we show you the inside of your tooth—transparency builds trust!

With cutting-edge tools like our surgical microscope, we ensure precision and the highest quality care. Most treatments take 2–3 visits, each lasting 60–90 minutes.

Comfort Is Our Priority

You’ll be fully numbed before we start, and we offer sedation options like nitrous oxide (“happy gas”) to ease any anxiety. Our team takes time to explain each step, and if you need a break, just let us know—we’re here to keep you relaxed and in control.

Crowns After Root Canal Treatment

For back teeth treated with a root canal, we often recommend a crown to protect against fractures, as these teeth endure heavy chewing forces. Front teeth typically don’t require crowns due to less stress. Our crowns are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your smile, ensuring both strength and aesthetics.
