Modern root canal therapy typically takes one or two appointments, depending on the severity of infection. We start by numbing the area thoroughly to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Once you're comfortable, we create a small opening in the tooth to gain access to the infected pulp.

Using specialized instruments, we carefully remove the infected tissue and clean the root canals. This step eliminates bacteria and prevents reinfection. We then fill and seal the canals with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha.

Most teeth that undergo root canal therapy will need a dental crown afterward. The crown protects the treated tooth from breaking and restores its full function. We take impressions for your custom crown, which fits precisely over your tooth.
