A root canal is a dental procedure that treats an infected or damaged tooth by removing the infected pulp (nerve and tissue) inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canal, and sealing it to prevent further infection. It helps save your natural tooth instead of removing it.

You may need a root canal if you experience:

• Persistent toothache
• Sensitivity to hot or cold
• Swelling or tenderness in the gums
• Deep decay or cracked teeth
• A pimple-like bump on your gums (abscess)

Our dentist will perform an X-ray and examination to confirm.

No — modern root canal treatments are relatively painless. At T Dental, we use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Most patients report that it feels similar to getting a dental filling.

Most root canal treatments can be completed in 1–3 visits or even more, depending on the severity of infection and complexity of the tooth (e.g., molars may take longer than front teeth).

After the root canal is completed, we usually recommend placing a dental crown on the treated tooth to restore strength and function, especially for molars. You may experience mild discomfort for a day or two, which can be managed with medication.

With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last many years — often for life. Good oral hygiene, regular checkups, and getting a crown (if needed) help prolong its lifespan.

The main alternative is tooth extraction, followed by replacement options like a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture. However, preserving your natural tooth is usually the best option when possible.

The cost depends on the tooth type (front tooth, premolar, molar), severity of the infection, and whether a crown is needed. Contact our clinic for an accurate quote based on your case.

Whitening treatments do not change the color of dental restorations. We recommend consulting with our dentists to discuss the best cosmetic options for a uniform smile.

Whitening is generally safe for most healthy adults. However, it’s not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 16, or patients with certain dental conditions. A professional evaluation will determine your eligibility.
