With our high-tech equipment and a light touch care we can expertly save your teeth. The root canal therapy gives you the benefits of having your roots to support crown and bridges, or just having them restored. There is no need to be concerned about the procedure. The ultrasonic cleaning and precise finishing of the canal eliminate possible discomfort. There is no pain and in most of time it is successfully finished in just one visit.

Q&A: I was told that I need a root canal but my friend said that it is a painful procedure and that he still feels the tooth after it was done? Why do I need it?

Root canal therapy is the procedure that saves your teeth by eliminating or preventing the infection inside the root of the tooth (root canals). There are two reasons the root canal therapy needs to be performed: 1. when there is a large decay coming close to the nerves inside the tooth. This condition can give you a severe tooth ache at any time and then would infect the tooth as a whole. None of this thing should happen. If the content of the roots is removed and the canals are cleaned and shaped to be filled that would prevent these problems and saves this tooth. 2. when the tooth is already infected and has a lesion on the root tip. The root canal therapy would help to heal this lesion and the tooth.


Since the original decay has already destroyed a great deal of the tooth structure this tooth needs to be rebuild with the crown or onlay. Together wit a root canal therapy this is the right way to get your tooth back in service. It should not be any pain during and/or after the root canal therapy if it is done right. Only slight postoperative sensitivity and discomfort for the next few days could be sometimes expected.
