Save your natural tooth, relieve pain, and restore your smile.

A Root Canal Treatment is a highly effective procedure used to treat severe tooth pain caused by infection or deep decay. Instead of removing the tooth, RCT helps clean the infected area, protect the tooth from further damage, and retain your natural tooth structure.

What is a Root Canal Treatment?

A Root Canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth. The pulp is cleaned, disinfected, shaped, and then filled with a safe dental material to restore the tooth’s strength.

2. How many visits does a root canal need?

Usually 1–2 sittings. If infection is severe, it may take an additional visit.

3. Do I need a crown after the root canal?

Yes, a crown is recommended to protect the treated tooth and prevent it from breaking.

4. How long does a root canal-treated tooth last?

With proper care and a crown, it can last for many years—often a lifetime.
