Root Canal Procedure: What To Expect

Doing a root canal has changed enormously over time, just as most other dental procedures have. With the advancement in technology, our dental staff is able to perform root canals that are of a better quality and more comfortable. Ultimately, this saves patients from having to have teeth extracted or losing permanent teeth as much as they did several years ago. What are root canal symptoms? While there can be multiple symptoms, commonly a tooth that becomes infected may be saved by undergoing a root canal; this also removes any discomfort that the patient was previously experiencing. A tooth that is sensitive to hot or cold, causes you discomfort in some way, or leaves you with swelling or a fever may be in serious need of a root canal. However, if the tooth is left, not only will you experience severe discomfort, but extensive damage. This damage can occur in the jawbone.

The All-on-4 total implants for total teeth replacement procedure offers just that along with a natural-looking, new smile just like the one you’ve always wanted. A fully functional smile that has the ability to last a lifetime can happen with the All-on-4 dental implants procedure.

Does a root canal hurt?

Typically, no. We also offer sedation medicine for patients that have dental anxiety to make a root canal procedure even more relaxing.
