During a root canal procedure, your dentist will:
- Carefully remove the infected pulp from inside your tooth
- Thoroughly clean and shape the root canal system to eliminate bacteria
- Fill the cleaned canal space with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection

FAQ
A root canal is needed when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or diseased. This often occurs when a cavity is left untreated or when a tooth is damaged by trauma, allowing bacteria to reach the inner tissue. Root canal treatment can usually save the tooth and prevent the need for extraction.
Root canal therapy is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. We use local anesthesia to fully numb the tooth before treatment begins, so you can remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Sedation options are also available for patients who need additional relaxation.
The cost of a root canal varies based on the tooth being treated and your insurance coverage. Many dental insurance plans help cover a portion of the cost, and our team will work to maximize your benefits. Flexible payment options are also available.
Most root canal treatments can be completed in one visit, though some cases may require two appointments depending on the severity of the infection. Your dentist will let you know what to expect after evaluating your tooth.
After a root canal, the tooth is often protected with a dental crown to restore strength and function. Mild soreness is normal for a few days, but most patients return to normal activities quickly and enjoy long-term relief from pain.
