Your comfort is our number one priority
We will take every measure to ensure your procedure is comfortable. If treatment is needed we will deliver a sufficient amount of local anesthesia to gently numb the tooth we are treating. Many patients are comfortable enough to fall asleep during treatment. For most people, the feeling of numbness usually subsides after a few hours.
It is important for the success of your treatment to follow up with your general dentist right away to determine if a new filling or crown is necessary Please let us know if you have any questions about this.
The initial consultation appointment will take approximately 30 minutes. During the consultation, we will diagnose the problem, review your treatment options, and assist you with making a fully informed decision.
In some cases, we are able to do the consultation and root canal treatment during the same appointment. Generally, this appointment in its entirety would be around 2 -2.5 hours. In some cases, treatment may require 2 visits. Although rare, we may recommend an additional appointment to medicate the tooth if there is a very robust infection. We are completely committed to spending as much time as necessary to provide the highest level of care possible.
In most cases, we recommend a patient return to our office 9 months to 1 year after the procedure is completed. Our office will send a reminder notice to you when you are due for a recall appointment.
