Not at all! With modern anesthesia and technology, root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than a filling. We ensure you're properly numbed before beginning, and many patients are surprised at how painless the procedure is.

Typically, 60–90 minutes per session. Some treatments may require two visits, depending on the complexity of your case. Our advanced technology helps us work efficiently while ensuring the highest quality care.

Mild soreness is normal, but you can resume normal activities within a day. You'll need to see your general dentist for a permanent restoration (usually a crown) to protect the treated tooth. Until then, avoid chewing on that tooth and follow any specific aftercare instructions we provide.

Most insurance plans cover endodontic care. We'll help verify your coverage before treatment and explain any out-of-pocket costs. Our team works with you to maximize your benefits and make treatment affordable.

Common signs include severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, tooth discoloration, swelling or tenderness in nearby gums, and a persistent pimple on the gums. However, sometimes there are no symptoms. Regular dental check-ups can catch problems before they become painful emergencies.

Root canal treatment has a high success rate of approximately 95%. With proper care, most teeth that have had root canal treatment can last a lifetime. Getting a proper restoration (crown) after your root canal is crucial for long-term success.
