Pain relief with precision.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal treatment (RCT) is a procedure that treats infection inside the tooth caused by deep decay, cracks, or trauma. The pulp — a soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels — can become infected, leading to severe pain or swelling.
During the procedure, the infected pulp is removed, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the space is filled with a biocompatible material. The treated tooth is then sealed and often restored with a crown for added protection. The goal is simple: relieve pain and save your natural tooth instead of extracting it.

Why Choose Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal therapy lets you keep your natural tooth rather than opting for extraction and replacement. It restores normal chewing, maintains your bite alignment, and prevents surrounding teeth from shifting.
It’s also a long-term solution. Once the infection is cleared, and the tooth is sealed and crowned, it can last as long as your other teeth — pain-free and fully functional. With modern technology and anesthesia, the procedure is now quick, comfortable, and highly effective.

Your Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions.
Still curious about this treatment? Here are some of the most common questions our patients ask — and our honest, straightforward answers.
Does a root canal hurt?
Modern root canal treatments are virtually painless. With local anesthesia, you’ll feel no pain during the procedure — most patients say it feels like getting a filling. Some mild soreness afterward is normal and short-lived.
How long does the procedure take?
Typically, it can be completed in one or two visits depending on the infection’s severity. Each session usually lasts between 60–90 minutes.
Will I need a crown after the root canal?
Yes, in most cases. A crown restores strength and prevents the treated tooth from fracturing, ensuring it lasts for many years.
How long does a treated tooth last?
With proper oral care and a crown, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime. It functions like a normal tooth once fully restored.
What happens if I avoid root canal treatment?
Delaying treatment can worsen infection, cause abscess formation, bone loss, and eventually require tooth extraction. Early intervention prevents these complications and saves your natural tooth.
