What is a root canal?

A root canal is an endodontic procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside a tooth. The pulp chamber and root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent reinfection. A crown is typically placed afterward to protect the treated tooth. Root canal therapy saves teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted.

Does a root canal hurt?

No. Root canal treatment is performed under local anesthesia and patients feel no pain during the procedure. Modern endodontic techniques make root canals no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Post-treatment soreness is mild and temporary, typically manageable with over-the-counter medication.

How long does a root canal take?

A root canal on a front tooth typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Molars with multiple canals may take 60 to 90 minutes. Most root canals are completed in a single visit at Charlotte Root Canal Center.

How much does a root canal cost in Charlotte NC?

Root canal costs in Charlotte NC vary based on which tooth is affected and the complexity of the case. Front teeth cost less than molars because they have fewer canals. Charlotte Root Canal Center accepts most dental insurance plans and offers financing options. Call (704) 375-4252 for specific pricing.

What is an apicoectomy?

An apicoectomy is endodontic microsurgery that removes the tip of a tooth root and surrounding infected tissue. It is performed when a conventional root canal has not fully resolved an infection at the root tip. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with a dental microscope for precision.

How do I know if I need a root canal?

Common signs that you may need a root canal include severe toothache or throbbing pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, darkening or discoloration of a tooth, swelling or tenderness in nearby gums, and a persistent pimple on the gums near the affected tooth. If you experience any of these symptoms, call Charlotte Root Canal Center at (704) 375-4252 for an evaluation.

Can a root canal save my tooth?

Yes. The purpose of root canal therapy is to save a tooth that is infected or severely damaged rather than extracting it. A properly treated tooth with a crown can last a lifetime with proper care. Saving the natural tooth maintains your bite, prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, and avoids the need for a dental implant or bridge.
