Are You a Candidate?
✓ Good candidate: Adults with a tooth that has deep decay reaching the pulp, abscess or active infection, previously treated teeth that re-infected, severe pain from pulp inflammation, or fractures/trauma to a tooth with a viable root.
​
✗ Not an immediate candidate: Non-restorable tooth (too much structure lost), severe vertical root fracture, active uncontrolled infection (treat first), patient unable to maintain oral hygiene post-treatment.

Treatment Timeline
Step 1
Diagnosis + Access (Visit 1, ~45-60 min): X-ray and clinical exam. Local anesthesia. Rubber dam placed. Access opening through the top of the tooth.
Step 2
Cleaning + Shaping (same visit, ~45-60 min): Infected pulp removed. Canals cleaned, shaped with rotary files, irrigated with disinfectant. Temporary filling placed if treatment continues on a second visit.
Step 3
Obturation (same visit or Visit 2, ~30-45 min): Canals filled with biocompatible gutta-percha. Access opening sealed. Final X-ray taken to confirm complete filling.
Step 4
Final Restoration + Crown Discussion (Visit 2 if needed, ~30 min): Permanent filling placed. Crown strongly recommended for molars within 2-4 weeks to protect the tooth from fracture.
Total treatment time: 1-2 visits over 1-2 weeks. 90-95% success rate when followed by a crown within 2-4 weeks. Save your tooth — avoid extraction when possible.
