Our Root Canal Process
We begin with detailed imaging to plan your precise treatment. Using local anesthesia and gentle techniques, we carefully remove infected tissue and clean the canal system. The tooth is then sealed and typically protected with a same-day crown, all in one visit, using our in-house CEREC technology.
The entire process is managed with your comfort in mind, and most patients are surprised by how painless modern root canal therapy can be.
When Is a Root Canal Needed?
Root canal therapy might be recommended if you experience:
- Severe Pain: Persistent toothache or temperature sensitivity.
- Infection Signs: Swelling, tenderness, or small bumps on the gums.
- Deep Decay: Extensive cavity reaching the tooth’s nerve.
- Trauma: Injury affecting the tooth’s pulp.

In many cases, yes. A dental crown provides additional strength and protection, especially for molars and heavily damaged teeth.
The only other option is to remove it – though it is always better to preserve the natural tooth rather than remove it.
Root canals are needed when the tooth has sustained a large amount of damage or decay. To avoid it, be sure to keep up with brushing and flossing twice daily, as well as your regular dental check-up and cleanings. Avoid sugary and acidic foods and beverages. If you play contact sports, always ensure that you wear a mouthguard.
With modern techniques and local anesthetic, root canal treatment is generally not painful. You may experience some mild soreness after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
After root canal treatment, your mouth might be slightly sensitive where the local anesthetic was placed or from having your tooth gently propped open for an extended period of time. The good news is that endodontic treatment removes the infected nerve, so your tooth can no longer transmit pain or sensitivity sensations.
To prevent any recurring decay or damage to your treated tooth, floss and brush around it daily and schedule regular checkups. A protective crown will help reduce any accelerated wear or breakage in your enamel since the tooth will be more brittle than normal.
A root canal treatment costs as much as a crown or bridge but can save you thousands of dollars in added fees related to extraction and future tooth replacement. Especially considering that an endodontically-treated tooth can last for decades after the procedure. A root canal is your tooth’s last hope of avoiding an extraction. Depending on which tooth needs treatment and the number of roots it has, a typical root canal costs anywhere between $500 to $1500. To reduce your out-of-pocket expenses, we will work with your insurance carrier to maximize the benefits you have available. Flexible payment plans are also available.
Most dental insurance plans cover part or all of the cost of a root canal. Our team will help you check your benefits and maximize coverage.
