Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Therapy

Root canals are painless when done correctly. Relieve pain and save your tooth with a virtually painless, highly effective treatment.

The Process

Your dentist or will numb the area, isolate the tooth with a rubber dam, remove infected pulp, clean and disinfect the canals, and seal the tooth with biocompatible materials. Often completed in 1–2 visits

The Results

Root canal therapy saves millions of teeth every year. With proper restoration (e.g., a crown) and good oral hygiene, treated teeth can last for decades—or even a lifetime . One long-term study reported survival rates of 97% after 10 years, and 68% after 37 years

Care Tips After Root Canals

  • Please allow proper time for healing of the tooth and gums. The crown placement after root canal treatments must be immediate to avoid fractures.

  • Maintain daily oral hygiene and regular dental visits

  • Wear a night guard if you grind to protect your restored tooth
