How a root canal works
Diagnose
We confirm the infected nerve with an exam and digital X-ray, and explain what we see.
Numb & clean
The tooth is fully numbed, then the infection is removed and the canal cleaned — this is the part that stops the pain.
Seal & crown
We seal the tooth and protect it with a crown so you can chew normally again.
Root canal: common questions
Does a root canal hurt?
The pain people fear is the infection, not the treatment. With modern anesthesia the procedure is comfortable, and it relieves the ache you came in with. Most patients are surprised how easy it is.
How many visits does it take?
Many root canals are completed in one visit; some need two. We’ll tell you upfront based on the tooth.
Root canal or pull the tooth?
Saving your natural tooth is almost always better for your bite and long-term cost. We’ll give you an honest recommendation for your specific tooth.
What does a root canal cost?
It depends on the tooth and whether a crown is needed. You’ll get an itemized quote before we begin, and we offer financing. Start with the $99 exam.
