Root canal treatment
Save an inflamed tooth with precise treatment under magnification instead of pulling it.
What is it?
Root canal treatment cleans the infection out of the tooth's canals and seals them, so your natural tooth stays in place. We work under magnification for more precision.
Who is it for?
Lasting pain, strong sensitivity to hot and cold, swelling, or decay that has reached the nerve. The X-ray decides.

Common questions
Does a root canal hurt?
It's done under local anesthesia, and its purpose is to remove the pain. You may feel mild tenderness for a few days afterwards.
Will I need a crown afterwards?
For back teeth, usually yes, to protect them from breaking. Your dentist decides based on how much tooth is left.
How many visits does it take?
One or more, depending on the case. We tell you how many before we start.
