The staff is super helpful and friendly! They take the time to explain and teach the young ones. They communicate via text occasionally which is much more convenient than getting on the phone sometimes! All good things from this group. They have a client for life. Even my eldest until he aged out of my family insurance came back for his cleanings rather than find one closer to his home!

Dr. Narendra and Brandy are the best. I had such a wonderful experience. The procedure went smooth. I did not feel any pain at all because they scheduled the proper time in between medication perfectly. No swelling or pain at all. Wonderful job.

Extremely friendly yet professional staff especially Brandy who works in scheduling. She has been so helpful to me especially during times when there was difficulty getting my insurer to approve specialty treatments. I would also like to point out all the pleasant conversations I had with Daisha... Extremely friendly yet professional staff especially Brandy who works in scheduling.

What is a root canal?

A root canal is designed to treat infection or damage within the pulp of a tooth. When the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause severe pain and lead to tooth loss if left untreated. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the interior of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection. Ultimately, a root canal can save your tooth and alleviate pain, allowing you to maintain your natural smile.

How long does it take to recover from a root canal?

Recovery from a root canal typically takes a few days, during which you may experience some mild discomfort or swelling, manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Many patients return to their normal activities within a day or two, although it's advisable to avoid hard or chewy foods until the tooth has fully healed. Your dentist may recommend a follow-up visit to ensure the tooth is healing properly.

Will I need a crown after my root canal?

In many cases, a crown is recommended after a root canal to provide added strength and protection to the treated tooth. The procedure can leave the tooth more vulnerable to fractures, particularly if it has extensive decay or damage. Your dentist will assess the condition of your tooth and discuss the best options for restoration, which may include a crown. Placing a crown not only enhances the tooth's durability but also helps restore its natural appearance, allowing you to smile confidently.
