Our Root Canal Process
Diagnosis
We use digital X-rays and an exam to confirm infection inside the tooth pulp.
Treatment
Infected tissue is carefully removed, canals are disinfected, and the space is sealed.
Restoration
Most teeth require a dental crown afterward for strength and protection.
Comfort & Technology
Root canals have a reputation, but modern care is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. We use rotary instruments, digital imaging, and sedation options to keep you relaxed and pain-free.
Cost & Insurance
Most PPO insurance plans cover root canal treatment. We’ll provide a clear estimate before starting and offer options like our membership plan and CareCredit® financing.
FAQs About Root Canals
Does a root canal hurt?
No. With local anesthesia and modern techniques, root canals feel similar to getting a filling.
How long does a root canal take?
Most procedures take 1–2 visits depending on the tooth and extent of infection.
Will my tooth look normal afterward?
Yes. A crown is placed over the treated tooth, restoring natural look and function.
