What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a procedure used to remove infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth. After cleaning and disinfecting the canals, the tooth is sealed to prevent future infection and is often restored with a custom dental crown for strength and protection.
Root canal therapy allows you to keep your natural tooth while eliminating pain and preventing the infection from spreading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers for new and returning patients.
Q: Is a root canal painful?
Modern root canal treatment is performed with local anesthesia and is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a dental filling. Most patients experience immediate relief from infection-related pain.
Q: Will I need a dental crown afterward?
In many cases, yes. A crown strengthens the treated tooth and restores its appearance and function after root canal therapy.
Q: How long does a root canal take?
Most treatments are completed in 60 to 90 minutes. Some patients may need a follow-up appointment for placement of a permanent dental crown.
Q: How long is recovery?
Most patients return to normal daily activities the following day. Mild soreness usually improves within a few days.
