01.
The Root Canal Treatment Process
During treatment, your dentist carefully removes the affected pulp, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals the space to prevent future infection. With advanced technology and gentle care, the process is typically comfortable and completed in one or two visits. A custom crown or filling then restores strength and appearance, allowing patients to smile, chew, and speak confidently again—without discomfort or worry.

Following Root Canal Treatment
After a root canal, proper aftercare is crucial for a comfortable healing process and protecting your smile. Mild tenderness is normal, so take any prescribed medications as directed and avoid chewing on the treated side until your dentist gives the all-clear. Continue gentle brushing and flossing to maintain oral health and prevent infections. If swelling or pain increases, please get in touch with our team.

A crown “caps” a damaged tooth, restoring its function and protecting what remains. A dental bridge fills a gap left by one or more missing teeth by anchoring to surrounding teeth or implants. Both treatments improve your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
