What to Expect
During a Root Canal

Your appointment begins with gentle numbing to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.

Our dentists then:

  • Create a small opening in the tooth
  • Remove the infected tissue from the root canal system
  • Clean and disinfect the canals thoroughly
  • Seal the tooth to prevent future infection

Most root canals are completed in a single visit, and a follow-up crown may be recommended to strengthen the tooth afterward.

Frequently Asked
Questions

When do I need a root canal?

accordion-icon

You may need a root canal if you have a deep cavity, cracked tooth, or infection that has reached the tooth pulp. Signs include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a pimple on the gums.

Will the procedure hurt?

accordion-icon

Most patients report little to no pain during a root canal. Modern techniques and local anesthesia make the procedure as comfortable as getting a regular filling.

How long does a root canal take?

accordion-icon

A root canal typically takes 60–90 minutes and may require 1–2 visits, depending on the severity of the infection and the tooth’s condition.

What happens after the procedure?

accordion-icon

You may experience mild soreness for a few days, which is manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. A follow-up crown or filling will be placed to protect and restore the tooth.

Do I really need a crown after a root canal?

accordion-icon

Yes, in most cases. A crown strengthens and protects the treated tooth, especially molars, which endure high chewing pressure.

Is root canal treatment covered by insurance?

accordion-icon

Many dental insurance plans cover root canals partially or fully, but coverage depends on your provider and plan. It's best to confirm with your insurance before treatment.
