It ends the pain

A root canal removes the infection causing your pain. The procedure ends it — it doesn’t cause it.

You keep your tooth

Saving the tooth you have is usually the more conservative option than removing it.

No surprises on cost

We verify your insurance benefits and tell you what it costs before treatment starts.

Signs to watch for

How do I know if I need a root canal?

A few signs tend to show up when the nerve inside a tooth is infected or inflamed. Only an exam and an X-ray can confirm what’s happening inside the tooth.

If you’re in pain right now, see what to do about a toothache while you wait for your appointment. We can often see urgent, infected-tooth cases the same day.

Common warning signs

  • Lingering pain Doesn’t settle down
  • Hot or cold sensitivity Lasts after the trigger
  • Pain when biting Chewing hurts
  • Gum bump or swelling Pimple-like spot
  • Darkened tooth Compared to its neighbors
What to expect

What happens during a root canal

We numb the tooth completely

The tooth is thoroughly numbed before we begin. Most patients say it feels similar to getting a filling.

We remove the infection

We remove the infected or inflamed pulp inside the tooth, then clean and shape the inside.

We seal and protect it

We seal the tooth and, in most cases, place a dental crown afterward to protect it. It usually takes one to two visits.

Your options

Root canal vs. extraction

Both are legitimate options. We’ll walk you through what applies to your specific tooth before you decide.

Root canal

Keeps your natural tooth. Usually the more conservative choice, and often more economical long-term once you factor in what it takes to replace a missing tooth.

Extraction

Removes the tooth and leaves a gap that typically needs a bridge, implant or denture to restore chewing and keep other teeth from shifting.

FAQ

Common questions

Does a root canal hurt?
No. A root canal relieves pain, it doesn’t cause it. The tooth is thoroughly numbed beforehand, and most patients say it feels similar to getting a filling. Mild soreness for a day or two afterward is normal and manageable.
How much does a root canal cost?
It depends on which tooth is involved. Front teeth cost less to treat than molars, and a crown afterward is usually a separate cost. We verify your insurance benefits and give you your exact cost in writing before any treatment starts.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals are completed in one to two visits, depending on the tooth and how much infection there is to clear.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases, yes. A root canal leaves the tooth more brittle. A crown protects it and restores its strength, especially on molars that do the heavy work of chewing.
What happens if I wait?
The infection doesn’t resolve on its own. It can spread, turn into an abscess, and usually leads to losing the tooth, which then has to be replaced. Treating it earlier keeps your options open.
Is it better to just pull the tooth?
Usually not. A root canal keeps your natural tooth and is typically the more conservative option. Extraction leaves a gap that needs replacing. We’ll tell you honestly which applies to your situation.
