Are You a Candidate?
Good candidate: Teeth with deep decay reaching the pulp. Teeth with abscess or active infection. Previously treated teeth that re-infected. Teeth with severe pain from pulp inflammation. Fractures or 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. Not sure which group you're in? Book an evaluation and we'll tell you honestly — including whether extraction is a better option.
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.

Common Questions
Does it hurt? No. With modern techniques and local anesthesia, patients report feeling only pressure. Pain after is mild and managed with standard pain relievers for 24-48 hours.
How many visits? Typically 1-2 visits totaling 2-3 hours of chair time.
Will I need a crown? For molars, yes — strongly recommended within 2-4 weeks. Front teeth may not require a crown.
What's the success rate? 90-95% long-term success when followed by a proper restoration.
Is it better than extraction? Yes, when the tooth is restorable. Keeping your natural tooth is always preferable to a bridge or implant.
What's the warranty? 12 months, written, covers the endodontic treatment itself.
Can you treat emergencies same day? Yes, when possible. Call us for severe pain or visible infection.
