What is a root canal treatment?

A root canal treatment removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, cleans the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent further infection while preserving the natural tooth.

Does a root canal hurt?

Modern root canal procedures are performed with local anesthesia and are generally no more uncomfortable than getting a dental filling. Most patients experience relief from tooth pain after treatment.

How long does a root canal procedure take?

Most root canal treatments can be completed in one or two visits, depending on the complexity of the tooth and the extent of the infection.

What are the signs that I may need a root canal?

Common signs include severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, swollen gums, tooth discoloration, and tenderness when chewing.

Will I need a dental crown after a root canal?

In many cases, a dental crown is recommended after a root canal to protect and strengthen the treated tooth, especially for back teeth that experience significant chewing pressure.

Is root canal treatment covered by dental insurance?

Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of root canal treatment costs. Our team can help verify your benefits and provide an estimate of your coverage.

What Is a Root Canal?

A tooth is not solid all the way through. Inside, there is soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When that inner space becomes infected or inflamed, the tooth can become extremely painful.

A root canal treatment:

Removes the infection from inside the tooth

Cleans and seals the root canals

Helps you keep your natural tooth instead of losing it

Think of it as rescuing your tooth, removing what’s causing the pain while keeping the tooth structure intact.

Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment

Removes the infection from inside the tooth

A cracked or chipped tooth that allows bacteria to enter

Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the source is removed

Gum swelling or a pimple-like bump near the tooth

Tooth darkening or discoloration

Pain that wakes you up at night

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Fast relief from infection-related pain once the tooth is treated

Keeps your natural bite, as your own tooth still does the job best.

Lower long-term hassle compared to extracting a tooth and replacing it

Protects nearby teeth by stopping the infection from spreading

Most patients find that once they are numb, the procedure feels no more intense than a filling. The majority tell us afterward it was far easier than they expected.

Our Root Canal Procedure in Houston

Evaluation and Digital Imaging

We confirm whether the nerve is infected and identify which tooth is causing the problem.

Numbing and Comfort Options

We use modern local anesthesia. For anxious patients, we also offer sedation options, including laughing gas, oral sedation, and IV sedation.

Sealing the Tooth

The canals are sealed to prevent reinfection, and the tooth is protected with a filling or temporary restoration.

Cleaning the Infection

The infected tissue is removed, and the canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

Crown Planning (When Needed)

If the tooth needs extra strength, we plan the crown so you can chew confidently again. Many root canals take about 60 to 90 minutes. Some cases may need two visits.

Root Canal vs. Tooth Extraction

Root Canal

Keeps your natural tooth

Maintains chewing and bite alignment

Better long-term function, as you keep what you have.

Extraction

Removes the tooth completely

Usually requires a replacement later (implant or bridge)

Can become more expensive over time when replacement is factored in

Cost of Root Canal Treatment in Houston

In Houston, most patients see ranges of $700 to $1,500 per tooth, with molars often at the higher end due to extra canals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a root canal take?

Most root canals take around 60 to 90 minutes. Some are completed in one visit; others may require two, depending on the tooth and the severity of the infection. A crown, if needed, is typically completed at a follow-up appointment.

Is root canal treatment painful?

With modern anesthesia, root canals are usually no more painful than getting a filling. You may feel pressure during the appointment, and some mild soreness afterward is normal, but the entire purpose of the treatment is to remove the source of your pain.

Do I always need a crown after a root canal?

Not always, but many teeth do, particularly back teeth that handle significant chewing force. If the tooth has lost substantial structure, a crown is the best way to protect it from breaking later.

What happens if I delay treatment?

Postponing treatment allows the infection to spread. A sore tooth can develop into swelling, an abscess, or a tooth that can no longer be restored. The sooner you address the problem, the higher the likelihood of saving the tooth.

How long does a treated tooth last?

A treated tooth can last for many years when restored properly and maintained with good oral hygiene and regular dental care.
