Saving Your Natural Tooth
The thought of a root canal often causes anxiety, but modern endodontic treatment is virtually painless and highly effective. Root canal therapy is necessary when the nerve of a tooth becomes infected due to decay or trauma. Rather than extracting the tooth, we gently remove the infection, clean the canals, and seal them to prevent reinfection. At Arete Dental Studio, our priority is to get you out of pain and preserve your natural tooth, which is always superior to an artificial replacement. We use high-powered magnification and rotary instruments to ensure the procedure is efficient and comfortable.

Common Questions
Is root canal therapy painful?
No, modern root canal treatment is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. We use effective local anesthesia to ensure the area is completely numb. The procedure itself is designed to relieve the pain caused by the infection, not cause it.
How many visits does it take?
Treatment usually requires 1 to 2 visits, depending on the complexity of the tooth and the infection. The first visit focuses on removing the infection and relieving pain, while the second ensures the canals are perfectly sealed.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases, yes. Removing the nerve and blood supply can make the tooth more brittle over time. Placing a crown protects the tooth from fracturing under biting pressure, ensuring the longevity of the treatment.
How much does a root canal cost?
The cost varies depending on which tooth is affected (molars are more complex). Typically, treatment ranges from $1,200 to $2,500. We provide a detailed quote before starting. Saving your natural tooth is generally more cost-effective than extraction and implant replacement.
What are the signs I need a root canal?
Common signs include severe toothache, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, tenderness when chewing, or a pimple on the gum. However, some infections are silent, which is why regular x-rays are important for early detection.
Is it better to extract or save the tooth?
It is almost always better to save your natural tooth. Your own tooth functions better than any replacement. Extraction leads to bone loss and potential shifting of other teeth. We only recommend extraction if the tooth is structurally compromised beyond repair.
