Questions Answered

how do you know the tooth is infected or damaged?

what if i don’t have any pain – do i still need treatment?

will I be numb during the treatment?

How Do You Know if a Tooth Is Infected?

To diagnose an infected tooth, we don’t rely on symptoms alone. We use X-rays, 3D imaging, and gentle diagnostic tests to evaluate the health of the nerve. This allows us to determine whether the tooth is healthy, inflamed, or infected and guide you toward the right treatment.

Do I Still Need Treatment if I Don’t Have Pain?

It’s very common for a tooth to have a damaged or dead nerve without causing any pain. Even if you feel fine, the condition can progress over time and lead to infection or bone damage. That’s why it’s important to evaluate the tooth early before it becomes more serious.

Will I Be Numb During the Procedure?

Yes. Root canal treatment is performed under local anesthetic to fully numb the tooth and surrounding area. We use advanced techniques to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure, even for more sensitive teeth.

will I need a crown or a new crown?

could this problem just be treated with antiobiotics?

how much does a root canal cost?

Will I Need a Crown After a Root Canal?

Whether you need a crown depends on the type of tooth and how much structure remains. Back teeth usually require crowns to protect them, while some front teeth may only need a filling. We’ll guide you based on your specific situation.

Can Antibiotics Fix a Root Canal Infection?

Antibiotics can help manage symptoms temporarily, but they cannot reach the inside of a tooth once the nerve has died. To fully treat the problem, the infected tissue must be removed with root canal treatment or, in some cases, the tooth may need to be removed.

How Much Does a Root Canal Cost?

The cost depends on the tooth being treated, the complexity of the case, and the treatment required. While we can provide an estimate before your visit, the exact cost is confirmed after your consultation. We can also help you understand your insurance coverage in advance.

What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a straightforward and highly predictable procedure. Most treatments can be completed in a single visit, although some cases may require additional time depending on the condition of the tooth.

Diagnosis & Planning

We carefully assess your tooth using digital imaging and a detailed clinical exam to pinpoint the cause of the issue and create a personalized treatment plan.

Gentle Treatment

The damaged or infected tissue is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and prepared to support long-term oral health.

Sealing the Tooth

Once cleaned, the internal space of the tooth is precisely sealed to block bacteria from re-entering and to ensure the tooth remains protected and stable.

Final Restoration

In many cases, a custom-made crown is placed to protect the treated tooth, restore its strength, and allow it to function normally for everyday use.

Root Canals Don’t Cause Pain… They Relieve It

Modern root canal treatment is designed to eliminate discomfort, not create it.

With advanced anesthetic techniques and specialized training, most patients find the experience to be similar to having a routine filling. Our priority is your comfort from start to finish.

What a phenomenal endodontics group! If you have any anxiety regarding dental work then please read ahead. I went in for an anticipated root canal on a front tooth due to an infection. Dr. Nudera took the time to fully explain my options, and I feel that he truly valued my understanding of the recommended procedure which was an apicoectomy. Dr. Nudera and his coworker Peter provided excellent communication leading up to and throughout the procedure. Furthermore, all of the recommended aftercare and anticipated recovery was thoroughly explained in advance.

Expertise Dental Digital Design Clinic

Unbelievably care!! Totally professional and efficient. The staff and the doctor are over the top good. My pain was gone in minutes once Dr Nudera identified the source of my severe pain he performed a painless root canal and I was on my way. In the next day, I received a follow up call checking on my status and how I was feeling. The experience was way more than I could’ve possibly anticipated.
