What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a restorative dental procedure designed to save a tooth that’s been severely damaged by decay, trauma, or infection. When the inner pulp of the tooth becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal removes the affected tissue, disinfects the area, and seals the tooth to prevent further issues.
Root canals are often the only alternative to tooth extraction—and preserving your natural tooth is always our first priority.
Do I Need a Root Canal?
You may need a root canal if you're experiencing:
- Persistent tooth pain or pressure
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swollen or tender gums around a tooth
- Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
- A pimple or bump on the gums near the painful area
Our team will conduct a thorough exam, including digital X-rays, to determine if a root canal is necessary and walk you through every step of the process.

Common Questions About Root Canals
Is a root canal painful?
Thanks to modern dental techniques and local anesthetics, most patients say their root canal was no more uncomfortable than getting a regular filling.
How long does a root canal take?
In many cases, we can complete a root canal in just one visit, especially if a same-day crown is used.
What happens after my root canal?
You may feel some tenderness for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter medication. You'll leave with a strong, sealed tooth that looks and functions normally.
Will I need a crown afterward?
In most cases, yes. A dental crown helps protect the tooth from future damage and restores its strength and appearance.
