Modern root canal treatment is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a dental filling. Local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable, and the procedure is designed to relieve the pain caused by an infected tooth.
Most root canal treatments can be completed in one to two visits, depending on the condition of the tooth and the complexity of the treatment.
The cost of a root canal depends on the tooth being treated, the complexity of the procedure, and your dental insurance coverage. We’ll provide a personalized treatment estimate and review your insurance benefits before treatment begins.
In most cases, your tooth will look the same after treatment. If needed, Dr. Lane may recommend placing a dental crown to restore the tooth’s strength, function, and natural appearance.
With proper care and, when recommended, a dental crown, a tooth treated with a root canal can last for many years or even a lifetime. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups is essential for long-term success.
Without treatment, the infection can spread, leading to increased pain, swelling, bone loss, or even tooth loss. Treating the infection early with a root canal can help save your natural tooth and prevent more extensive dental problems.
