Will the treatment be painful?
We will take every measure to ensure that your procedure is in no way uncomfortable or painful. If treatment is needed, we will inject a small amount of anesthesia to gently numb a concentrated area of your mouth. For most patients, the feeling of numbness usually subsides after 2-3 hours.
How many appointments does it take?
With the advanced technology used at our office, it should be no more than one to two appointments.
Do I need to see my general dentist after the root canal is performed?
It is very important to schedule a follow-up appointment with your dentist to complete the restoration process. This will help prevent possible fractures or cracks.
Will I need to return to your office for follow-ups after the procedure is finished?
Yes, for most root canal treatments, we recommend that patients return to the office 1 year after the procedure was finished. Our office will send a reminder notice to you when you are due for a recall appointment.
