- Diagnosis & Prep:
First, we’ll take a good look at your tooth with X-rays and chat about what’s going on. We’ll make sure you’re comfy and informed before we get started. - Numb & Relax:
We’ll use local anaesthesia to numb the area, so you won’t feel a thing. Then, we’ll carefully access and clean out the infected tissue from inside your tooth. - Fill & Seal:
Once the infection is gone, we’ll fill the empty space with a special material to keep it protected. We’ll then place a temporary filling to keep things cozy until your permanent crown is ready. - Crown & Restore:
After everything has healed, we’ll fit a permanent crown over your tooth to restore its strength and function. You’ll be back to chewing, smiling, and showing off your pearly whites in no time!

It removes the damaged tissue, cleans the area, and seals it to restore the health of your tooth. Don’t believe the myths—our root canal procedures are quick, comfortable, and virtually painless.

What is a root canal, and why might I need one?

Does a root canal hurt?
Not at all! We use numbing magic (aka local anesthesia) to make sure you’re comfy throughout the procedure. You might feel a little pressure, but it’s usually nothing to write home about.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals are done in about an hour, so you can be in and out with a fresh, healthy tooth in no time. It’s a quick fix for a major issue!
What’s the recovery like?
Post-root canal recovery is pretty chill. You might feel a bit of soreness for a day or two, but nothing a little over-the-counter pain relief can’t handle. We’ll make sure you’re set up with all the info to keep things smooth sailing.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
Yep, often a crown is the finishing touch! It protects your tooth and keeps it strong, so you can continue your snack attacks without a hitch.
