Your Root Canal Treatment Journey

1) Consultation & Diagnosis

We perform a thorough exam, digital X-rays, and pulp testing to confirm the need for root canal therapy.

2) Local Anesthesia & Isolation

Comfortable numbing and rubber dam placement to keep the area dry and clean.

3) Cleaning & Shaping

Infected pulp tissue removed; canals cleaned, shaped, and disinfected with modern rotary files.

4) Filling the Canals

Sterile biocompatible material seals the canals to prevent re-infection.

5) Temporary or Permanent Restoration

A temporary filling placed; a crown may be recommended for strength after healing.

6) Final Crown or Restoration

Custom-made crown or filling to fully restore function and esthetics.

Comfort & Aftercare

  • Local anesthesia ensures a pain-free procedure
  • Mild soreness may occur for 1–2 days; over-the-counter medication usually sufficient

  • Maintain good oral hygiene and regular checkups
