Answers to common questions

Is a root canal painful?

No — with modern anesthesia and techniques, most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.

How do I know if I need one?

Persistent pain, sensitivity, or swelling may indicate an infection that requires root canal treatment.

How long does a root canal take?

Most root canals can be completed in one visit, though some cases may require two.

What happens after the root canal?

The tooth is usually restored with a crown to protect it and restore full function. Our Alexandria root canal dentist will fill you in on our entire process at your consultation.

Is extraction a better option?

Saving your natural tooth is usually the best choice when possible — it maintains your bite and jaw health.
