  • When do I need a root canal?

    When decay or infection reaches the tooth’s nerve, causing deep pain, swelling, or sensitivity to hot/cold.

  • Is a root canal painful?

    With modern anesthesia and technology, it’s virtually painless. Patients often feel relief soon after the procedure.

  • How long does it take?

    Not at all. The procedure is typically painless. In case of any sensitivity or pain during the procedure we numb the area by local anaesthesia.

  • What materials are used for fillings?

    The duration of a root canal procedure varies depending on the tooth’s condition and complexity. Most treatments are completed in one to three appointments, each lasting about 45 to 75 minutes. We ensure comfort at every step. The time gap between two appointments varies from case to case but is generally 2-3 days.

  • Do I need a crown after RCT?

    Yes. A crown strengthens and protects the treated tooth, preventing fractures or reinfection.

  • Will I need to take time off work or can i drive myself back home after the treatment?

    Most patients can return to their normal activities on the day of the procedure. However, any discomfort or pain can be relieved with painkillers.

  • Can a root canal fail?

    Rarely, but possible if infection persists or the tooth wasn’t fully sealed. Regular follow-ups ensure success.
