Root Canal Treatments — frequently asked
No — modern techniques make it as comfortable as having a filling. Most patients are surprised at how easy it is. The procedure relieves pain, it doesn't cause it.
Typically 1–2 appointments for the root canal itself, plus a separate visit for the protective crown.
Root-canal-treated teeth become more brittle. A crown helps protect the tooth from fracture and support its long-term function.
