Our goal is your comfort and satisfaction.

The Process

Our skilled Temecula root canal dentist will perform a thorough examination and X-rays to assess the extent of damage or infection within the tooth. If a root canal is recommended, here’s what you can expect:

The area around the affected tooth will be numbed using local anesthesia.
An access point is created in the tooth, and the infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed to clean and disinfect the root canals.
The cleaned canals are then filled with a biocompatible material to prevent further infection.
In most cases, a dental crown is placed on the treated tooth to provide strength and protection, restoring its appearance and functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s a root canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure that treats infection or damage within the tooth’s root. It involves removing the damaged area of the tooth, cleaning, disinfecting, and then filling and sealing it. This procedure can preserve the natural tooth, eliminating the need for extraction.

What are the signs I might need a root canal?

Symptoms of tooth infection include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration of the tooth, and swelling or tenderness in the nearby gums. If you notice any of these, request an appointment with us as soon as you can.

Are root canals painful?

Modern techniques and anesthetics make root canal treatments virtually painless, with minimal discomfort during recovery.

How long does the treatment take?

We can complete most root canal procedures in 1-2 visits, depending on the condition of your tooth and your personal circumstances. We’ll make sure you understand what to expect.

What are the success rates of root canals?

Root canals have a very high success rate and are an effective way to save your natural tooth and prevent further decay or infection.

Can I return to work after a root canal?

Most of our patients can return to their normal activities the next day. However, you may experience some sensitivity for a few days after the treatment.
