Learn More about Endodontics

Key Facts:

  • Duration: 1 to 4 hours depending on how many teeth are to be treated

  • Clinic Stay: Outpatient (same-day procedure)

  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia

  • Recovery Duration: Mild soreness for 1–3 days

  • Back to work: Same day or next day, depending on comfort

Endodontic treatment (commonly known as a root canal) saves severely damaged or infected teeth by treating the inner pulp. Rather than extracting the tooth, this procedure eliminates pain, clears infection, and restores normal function, preserving your natural smile.

Endodontic Treatment Can Help You With:

  • Severe tooth pain or sensitivity

  • Persistent infection or abscess

  • Deep decay reaching the tooth’s nerve

  • Tooth trauma causing nerve damage

You may be a suitable candidate for Endodontic if:

  • You experience severe, lingering tooth pain

  • You have swelling or tenderness around a tooth

  • Your dentist has diagnosed pulp infection or nerve damage

  • You wish to save your natural tooth rather than extract it

What Happens During the Procedure?

Endodontic treatment is typically performed under local anesthesia for comfort. Your Specialist will:

  • Access the interior of the tooth

  • Remove infected or damaged pulp tissue

  • Clean, disinfect, and shape the root canals

  • Fill and seal the space with a biocompatible material

  • Restore the tooth with a filling or crown

The goal is to eliminate infection and protect the tooth from future damage.
