The Root Canal Procedure
Our team wants you to have the most comfortable, stress-free root canal possible. We are here to answer your questions and provide comfort and reassurance throughout your procedure.
- Thorough Numbing — Before treatment begins, we ensure the area is completely numb so you won't feel pain during the procedure.
- Isolating the Tooth—A small protective sheet (dental dam) keeps the area clean while we create a small opening in the tooth's crown.
- Gentle Cleaning — Using specialized rotary technology, we carefully remove the infected pulp tissue and thoroughly clean the canals within the root.
- Disinfection and Sealing—We disinfect the canals, fill them with biocompatible material, and seal them to prevent future infection.
- Temporary Restoration — We place a temporary filling to protect the tooth until the permanent restoration.
You might experience mild sensitivity for a few days, which you can manage with over-the-counter pain relievers. In about two weeks, we'll place a crown or other restoration to protect the treated tooth and restore function.
