Use electric handpieces to make the procedure as quick and comfortable as possible

Explain what you should expect during and after your procedure
Work in a latex-free environment

Common Questions About Root Canals

Why is a root canal needed?

If you don’t treat a cavity right away, the decay can spread and eventually reach the pulp, the soft inner portion of the tooth. When that is infected, a root canal is needed to clean out the pulp, sanitize the tooth, and seal it with a restoration to prevent further problems. A root canal will end your toothache and save your tooth from extraction.

Do root canals hurt?

Root canal technology has come a long way. Years ago, they were not as comfortable as they are now. Today, you can get a root canal with virtually no discomfort. In fact, our modern root canal procedures are as simple as having a cavity filled. You can always trust our gentle, highly skilled team to numb you sufficiently and help you relax if you’re hesitant about getting a root canal.

How much does a root canal cost?

Your individual situation, the location of the infected tooth, and other factors will ultimately determine the cost of your root canal treatment. We recommend you come in for an initial exam so we can assess your situation. Then we can give you an accurate estimate of your treatment cost, as well as go over all of our flexible payment options, so you know what to expect and can make the best decision for your budget.

Can a root canal get infected again?

Yes, it is possible for a root canal to become infected again. There are several reasons why this might occur, including not getting a crown soon enough after treatment. If your root canal becomes infected a second time, we would need to do an endodontic retreatment, essentially repeating the root canal treatment a second time.
