  • Removes the damaged nerve and pulp from an infected or inflamed tooth, alleviating pain and discomfort.
  • Stops the spread of infection, protecting other parts of the mouth and body from more serious health issues.
  • Helps preserve your natural tooth, maintain your smile, and avoid the need for a prosthetic replacement.
  • More affordable than tooth extraction and artificial tooth replacement.
  • Allows the treated tooth to function normally for biting and chewing without affecting taste.

Understanding root canal therapy

A root canal is typically needed when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, injury, or repeated dental procedures. This treatment involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and then sealing it to prevent further infection.

With root canal therapy, we aim to relieve pain, save your natural tooth, and restore its function, allowing you to chew pain-free and maintain a natural appearance.

Frequently asked questions about root canals

How long does a root canal procedure take?

The length of the procedure depends on the complexity of the tooth and the extent of the infection, but most root canals can be completed in one to two visits, each lasting about 90 minutes.

What can I expect after a root canal treatment?

It’s normal to experience some sensitivity or discomfort for a few days after the procedure, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

How successful are root canal treatments?

Root canal treatments have a high success rate and are a long-term solution for preserving a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted. With proper care, a tooth that has had a root canal can last a lifetime.

Will my tooth need any special care after treatment?

After a root canal, you should continue to practice good oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. In some cases, a follow-up restoration may be required to protect the tooth.

Can I eat normally after a root canal?

We recommend avoiding biting with the treated tooth until it is fully restored; otherwise, normal eating habits can be resumed shortly after the treatment.

I have anxiety about my root canal appointment. How can you help me feel more comfortable?

Our Crystal Lake Dental Arts team understands dental anxiety and offers a stress-free environment. We listen to your concerns and develop a personalized plan to make your visit more comfortable.
