Types of Endodontic Treatments
We offer a comprehensive range of endodontic procedures to save and restore damaged teeth
Standard Root Canal Treatment
A procedure to treat infected or inflamed pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth). During root canal treatment, the infected pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed to prevent reinfection.
Severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, darkening of the tooth, swelling or tenderness in nearby gums
Mild discomfort for a few days, managed with over-the-counter pain medications
Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)
A surgical procedure that removes the tip of a tooth's root and the surrounding infected tissue. This is typically performed when standard root canal treatment is not sufficient or when infection persists after treatment.
Persistent pain or swelling after root canal treatment, sinus drainage issues, recurrent infection
Some swelling and discomfort for 1-2 weeks, prescription pain medication may be provided
Root Canal Retreatment
A procedure to address a failed root canal where infection or inflammation has returned. The previous filling material is removed, the canal system is cleaned and disinfected again, and new filling material is placed.
Pain, swelling, or infection months or years after initial root canal treatment
Similar to initial root canal treatment; mild discomfort for a few days

Benefits of Modern Root Canal Treatment
Today's root canal treatments are more comfortable and effective than ever before
Pain-Free Procedure
Modern techniques and effective anesthesia make root canal treatments virtually painless. Many patients report that the procedure is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.
Preserves Natural Teeth
Root canal therapy allows you to keep your natural tooth, which is always preferable to extraction. This preserves your natural bite, prevents shifting of surrounding teeth, and maintains facial structure.
High Success Rate
Modern root canal treatments have a success rate of over 95%. With proper care, a tooth that has received endodontic treatment can last a lifetime without further issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about root canal treatment
How do I know if I need a root canal?
While only a dental professional can diagnose the need for a root canal, common signs include: severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums, and persistent or recurring pimple on the gums. However, sometimes there are no symptoms, which is why regular dental checkups are important.
How long does a root canal procedure take?
Most root canal treatments can be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the complexity of the case. A simple procedure might take 30-60 minutes, while more complex cases involving multiple canals may take 90 minutes or longer. Molars typically take longer than front teeth due to their complex root structure.
What happens after a root canal?
After a root canal, you may experience some mild discomfort for a few days, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. In most cases, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment will need a crown to protect it from fracture and restore full functionality. You can generally return to normal activities the day after the procedure. Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups are essential to maintain the health of the treated tooth.
