What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure designed to remove infection from the inner parts of a tooth while preserving the natural structure. During the process, the inflamed or infected pulp is carefully removed, the area is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further damage. This treatment not only alleviates pain but also helps maintain your natural smile and healthy bite.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

  • Preserves your natural tooth: Root canal therapy allows you to keep your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction and costly replacements like implants or bridges.
  • Relieves pain effectively: It eliminates the source of pain and discomfort caused by infection, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile without worry.
  • Protects your overall health: By removing infection, root canal therapy prevents bacteria from spreading to other parts of your body, safeguarding your overall well-being.
  • Restores normal function: With the infection gone and the tooth sealed, you’ll regain full use of your tooth for chewing and speaking naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canal Therapy

Will a root canal hurt?
Thanks to modern techniques and anesthesia, root canal therapy is no more painful than getting a filling. Our team ensures your comfort throughout the procedure.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canal procedures can be completed in one or two visits, depending on the condition of your tooth.
What happens after the root canal procedure?
After the procedure, your tooth will typically need a crown to protect it and restore its full function. We’ll guide you through this process.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Symptoms like tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling may indicate the need for a root canal. However, only a dentist can determine the best treatment after an evaluation.
Is a root canal better than an extraction?
Yes. A root canal preserves your natural tooth, which supports your bite and overall oral health better than an extraction and replacement.
How long does a tooth last after a root canal?
With proper care, a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy can last a lifetime.
Is root canal therapy expensive?
Root canals are often more cost-effective than the alternatives, such as extractions followed by implants or bridges. We’ll work with you to explore payment options.
Can I return to normal activities after the procedure?
Most patients can return to their normal routine the same day, though you may want to avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it’s fully restored with a crown.
