FAQs
Is a root canal painful?
Not with us! We use modern anesthetics and gentle techniques to ensure a pain-free experience. Most patients say it feels no different than getting a filling.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
If you’re experiencing persistent pain, swelling, sensitivity to hot/cold, or a bump on the gums, it could be a sign of infection. We’ll perform a full evaluation to confirm.
How long does a root canal take?
It depends on the tooth and severity, but most root canals take 60–90 minutes and are completed in one or two visits.
What happens if I don’t get a root canal?
Delaying treatment allows the infection to spread, potentially leading to tooth loss, jawbone damage, or more complex health concerns. Early treatment helps avoid bigger problems.
