FAQs
Modern root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed. With advanced anesthesia techniques like The Wand computerized delivery system, most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure.
The pain people often associate with root canals is actually the pain of the infection before treatment, not the treatment itself. Root canal therapy relieves this pain by removing the source of infection.
The duration of root canal treatment depends on several factors:
- Tooth location: Front teeth typically take 60-90 minutes, while back teeth with multiple roots can take 90-120 minutes
- Complexity: Teeth with curved or narrow canals, or retreatment cases, may require additional time
- Technology: Our use of high magnification loupes and rotary instruments often reduces treatment time
Most root canals are completed in one or two appointments. We'll give you a time estimate after your examination.
Saving your natural tooth with root canal treatment has several advantages over extraction:
- Natural function: Your tooth continues to function normally for biting and chewing
- Preserves bone: Keeping your natural tooth prevents bone loss that occurs after extraction
- Maintains appearance: Your natural tooth looks better than any replacement
- Cost-effective: Root canal treatment is typically less expensive than extraction followed by a bridge or implant
- Protects adjacent teeth: Doesn't require altering nearby teeth as with a bridge
With proper care, a tooth that has had root canal treatment can last a lifetime. The success rate for root canal treatment is over 95%.
To ensure the longevity of your treated tooth:
- Practice good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing
- Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings
- Avoid chewing extremely hard foods with the treated tooth
- Consider a crown for back teeth to provide extra protection
We'll provide specific aftercare instructions tailored to your situation.
