How Our Root Canal Procedure Works: Step by Step

At Lawrence Dental Centre, we make root canal treatment simple, comfortable, and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

Comprehensive Examination and Digital X-Rays

We begin with a detailed exam and advanced X-rays to locate the infected area and assess the condition of your tooth.

Gentle Local Anesthesia

Your comfort is our priority. We numb the area fully using modern, painless anesthesia techniques to ensure you feel nothing during the procedure.

Cleaning the Infected Pulp

We carefully access the inside of the tooth and remove the inflamed or infected pulp using precision rotary tools designed for efficiency and accuracy.

Shaping and Disinfection

Once the canals are cleaned, they’re shaped and disinfected to eliminate any remaining bacteria and reduce the risk of reinfection.

Filling the Root Canals

We seal the canals with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to protect the tooth from future infection.

Restoration of the Tooth

In most cases, a dental crown is placed afterward to restore strength, shape, and function. This helps protect the treated tooth long-term.

Aftercare and Follow-Up

Our team provides clear aftercare instructions and schedules a follow-up if needed to ensure proper healing and comfort.

This step-by-step approach helps preserve your natural tooth while eliminating pain and infection, giving you long-term relief and peace of mind.

Root Canal Treatment FAQs

What are the signs that I need a root canal?

Signs include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, gum swelling, a small pimple near the tooth, or tooth darkening. These symptoms often indicate infection inside the tooth that requires treatment.

Is a root canal painful?

No. With local anesthesia and modern techniques, root canals are usually painless. Most patients say the procedure feels similar to getting a filling and provides relief from the pain they were experiencing.

How long does a root canal take?

Most root canals are completed in one visit, but complex cases may need two. Each appointment typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes, depending on how many canals need treatment.

Can I go to work after a root canal?

Yes. Most patients feel well enough to return to work the same day. Mild soreness may occur, but it is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and does not interfere with daily activities.

Will I need a crown after the root canal?

In most cases, especially for back teeth, a crown is recommended after a root canal. It protects the treated tooth, restores strength, and prevents cracks or fractures over time.
