“It’s pretty dang hard to give a 5-star rating for a root canal. I was behind on maintenance [and] Powers Dental got me caught up taking care of that, plus a deep cleaning [with] no judgement. Trust them to help get you on the right path.”

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure we offer at Powers Dental Group to treat a damaged or infected tooth. It involves removing the infected or damaged pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels), cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and filling them with a special material.

The procedure is usually performed by a dentist or an endodontist (a specialist treating the inside of the tooth). Depending on the case’s complexity, it typically takes one or two appointments to complete. Let us examine your teeth and confirm if root canal treatment is the right solution.

Why Does Your Tooth Need Root Canal Therapy?

If you are experiencing any of these signs, it’s time to consider root canals at our dental office.

  • Deep decay that has reached the pulp of the tooth
  • A cracked or broken tooth that has exposed the pulp
  • Trauma to the tooth
  • Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
  • Gum disease that has spread to the roots of the tooth

If left untreated, an infected or damaged tooth can lead to pain, swelling, and other complications. Our root canal therapy is often the best way to save the tooth and prevent further problems. After the procedure, your tooth may be sore for a few days, but most people can quickly return to normal activities. We recommend to patients that good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, can help prevent problems and ensure the longevity of the treated tooth.

How Long Does it Take for Root Canal Therapy?

The time it takes for root canal therapy can vary depending on several factors, such as the number of canals in the tooth and whether there are any complications. In general, root canal therapy can take anywhere from one to three appointments to complete. The first appointment is typically the longest and may take up to 90 minutes or more, while subsequent appointments may be shorter.

After receiving the root canal therapy, the patient may need to schedule follow-up appointments with us to monitor the tooth and ensure it is healing properly.
