Root canal therapy removes infected pulp inside the tooth to relieve pain and save it from extraction. After cleaning and sealing, we restore the tooth’s function with a crown or filling.
We numb the area, remove the infected pulp inside the tooth, disinfect the canals, and seal them. A crown is often placed on top to protect the tooth and restore normal function.
Root canal therapy saves infected teeth from extraction. It eliminates pain, stops infection, and restores function—preserving your natural smile and allowing you to chew and speak comfortably again.
Root Canal Therapy
Relieve pain and save infected teeth.
If you're experiencing tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity from infection, you may need a root canal. It's ideal for patients who want to save their natural tooth rather than extract it.
The dentist numbs the area, removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the root canals, and seals the tooth. A crown is usually placed afterward. Most patients feel relief within a day and enjoy a fully functional tooth again.
Root canal therapy usually takes 60–90 minutes and is completed in one or two visits. The dentist removes the infection, cleans the root canals, and seals the tooth. Most patients return to normal activity the same day.
Root canals have a high success rate, but you may need a crown afterward to protect the tooth. Expect some tenderness for a few days. Stick to soft foods until it settles and avoid chewing directly on the tooth.
You might have slight soreness for a day or two. Follow instructions for eating and hygiene. Crowns placed afterward may need a separate visit. Recovery is quick, and most patients feel relief right after the procedure.
