Endodontics
Specialized root canal treatment to save your natural teeth.
Endodontics focuses on diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth, primarily through root canal therapy. When tooth pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, endodontic treatment removes the damaged tissue, disinfects the canal system, and seals it to save the natural tooth and eliminate pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this treatment answered by our specialists
Q:Is root canal treatment painful?
Modern root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than getting a routine filling. Effective anesthesia ensures you feel no pain during the procedure.
Q:Why do I need a crown after root canal?
Root canal treatment removes the tooth's blood supply, making it more brittle over time. A crown protects the tooth from fracturing under normal chewing forces.
Q:How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals are completed in one to two appointments, each lasting 60 to 90 minutes, depending on tooth location and complexity.
Q:What are signs I might need a root canal?
Severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, tooth discoloration, swelling, or a pimple on the gum near the tooth may indicate need for root canal treatment.
