No, modern root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than getting a large filling. We use effective local anesthesia to ensure you're completely numb during the procedure. Most patients report that the treatment relieves their pain rather than causing it.
Most root canal treatments take 60-90 minutes. Simple front teeth may take less time, while molars with multiple canals may require longer. Some complex cases may need two appointments to complete treatment.
In most cases, yes. Root canal treated teeth become more brittle over time and need crown protection to prevent fracture. Front teeth sometimes only need a filling, but back teeth almost always require crowns for long-term success.
The main alternative is tooth extraction. While removing the tooth eliminates the infection, it creates other problems including bone loss, shifting teeth, and the need for replacement with an implant, bridge, or partial denture—often more expensive options.
Root canals have a 95% success rate, and properly treated teeth can last a lifetime. Success depends on factors like the extent of infection, tooth anatomy, and post-treatment care. We use advanced technology to maximize success rates.
Root canals become necessary when the tooth's pulp (nerve and blood supply) becomes infected or inflamed. This can result from deep decay, cracks, trauma, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or severe gum disease.
