Frequently Asked Questions

Are root canals painful?

Thanks to modern anesthesia techniques, you'll only have minimal discomfort during your procedure.

How long does a root canal take?

Most of our patients are in and out within one and three hours. But don’t worry; we'll keep you informed throughout the process and make sure you're comfortable every step of the way.

Can I eat after getting a root canal?

For a few days following your procedure, it's best to avoid chewing directly on the treated tooth to allow the area to heal properly. However, you can still enjoy soft foods on the opposite side of your mouth. We'll give you advice on what’s best to avoid during this time.

Will getting a root canal weaken my tooth?

No! In fact, root canals can help strengthen your tooth! By removing the infected or damaged pulp and sealing the root canals, we can prevent further damage and preserve the tooth's structure.
