Testimonials
-
I had a wonderful experience at A2Z dental practice. From the moment I walked in, the lovely receptionist Leoni made me feel welcomed and at ease. Her warm and professional demeanor set the tone for my visit.
Dr. Abraham and his assistants were absolutely fantastic during my tooth extraction and bone graft. He was incredibly gentle, explained every step of the procedure, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. The care and expertise were second to none.
I’m so grateful for the exceptional service I received and highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of dental care. Thank you to the entire team for making a potentially stressful procedure so easy and pain-free!

Frequently Asked Questions
A root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has become infected or damaged. While the idea of a root canal may sound intimidating, it’s actually a common and highly effective procedure that can alleviate pain and preserve your natural tooth.
Some common signs and symptoms that you may need a root canal include:
- Severe toothache
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Pain when biting or chewing
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums around the tooth
- Discoloration of the tooth
- A pimple on the gums near the tooth
- Persistent bad breath
The root canal procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area.
- An opening is made in the tooth to access the pulp chamber.
- The infected or damaged pulp is removed from the pulp chamber and root canals.
- The canals are cleaned and disinfected.
- The canals are filled with a biocompatible material.
- The tooth is sealed with a temporary or permanent filling.
In some cases, multiple appointments may be necessary to complete the root canal treatment.
The time it takes to perform a root canal varies depending on the severity of the infection and the number of canals involved. However, it usually takes between 30 minutes to an hour each visit. At A2ZDental root canal treatment is broken into 3 visits to aid healing and evaluation of the treated tooth.
Most people experience little to no pain during a root canal due to the use of local anesthesia. You may experience some discomfort after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Most people recover from a root canal the same day and return to their normal activities.
A root canal, when properly done, can last for many years, even a lifetime. However, the longevity of the treatment depends on your oral hygiene habits and any future trauma to the tooth and how the tooth has been restored.
When a crown has been placed following the root canal treatment, in general terms the tooth is noted to last longer.
While considered a safe procedure, there are some risks associated with root canal treatment, such as:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Swelling
- Pain
- Damage to surrounding teeth
- Failure of the procedure
The cost of a root canal varies depending on the location, complexity of the procedure, and your dental insurance coverage.
