Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure designed to save a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. The process involves removing the infected pulp or nerve, cleaning the interior of the tooth (known as the root canal space), and then sealing it to prevent future infections.
At Commonwealth Endodontics, we deliver exceptional patient care using advanced technology. Our skilled team employs cutting-edge tools for precise treatments, ensuring comfort with multiple locations and same-day care. Our patient-centered approach focuses on saving natural teeth and providing stress-free experiences, offering comprehensive services for all endodontic needs.
You may be a good candidate for root canal therapy if you experience any of the following symptoms:
If you’re unsure whether you need a root canal, our team at Commonwealth Endodontics is here to help.
What causes the need for a root canal?
Deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or a crack/chip in the tooth can lead to inflammation/infection requiring a root canal.
Is root canal therapy painful?
Modern techniques and anesthesia make the procedure as comfortable as possible and most often, devoid of pain. Most patients report feeling no more discomfort than getting a filling.
How long does the procedure take?
Typically, a root canal can be completed in one visit, lasting about 60 – 90 minutes.
What happens after the procedure?
After a root canal, you may experience mild discomfort for a few days. This can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Are there any risks associated with root canal therapy?
Root canal therapy is a safe and common procedure. However, as with any medical treatment, there are minor risks which will be discussed with you before the procedure.
How much does a root canal cost?
The cost can vary based on the complexity of the case and the tooth affected. We accept most dental insurance plans and offer financing options.
What should I do if I experience pain after the procedure?
Mild discomfort and pain for a few days is normal, but if you experience significant pain or swelling, contact our office immediately.
Can a root canal fail?
While uncommon, a tooth with root canal therapy can experience post treatment disease. At Commonwealth Endodontics, our advanced techniques minimize this risk.
