Thanks to modern techniques and anesthesia, most patients feel little to no discomfort during a root canal. In fact, the pain is usually caused by the infection itself—not the procedure. Our team prioritizes your comfort with effective pain management throughout treatment.

A root canal typically takes one to two hours, though more complex cases may need multiple visits. Your dentist will outline a personalized treatment plan, and while some sensitivity is normal afterward, it usually fades within a few days.
