What is a root canal?
Treat the infection and keep your tooth
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, cleans and seals the canals and relieves pain. It lets you keep your natural tooth instead of extracting it.
Appointments
What to expect during treatment
Root canal treatment is done under local anesthesia and may take one or more appointments, depending on the tooth. Most treated teeth then need a crown to restore strength.
Costs and planning your visit
Know the cost before you travel
The cost depends on the tooth and whether you need a crown afterward. Send us your X-rays and we prepare a personalized plan and price range in English.
Signs you may need a root canal
Persistent toothache, sensitivity to heat or cold, swelling or a darkened tooth. An X-ray confirms the diagnosis.
Root canal and crown
After the root canal, a zirconia, E.max or porcelain crown protects the tooth.
