Frequently asked questions
Does a root canal hurt?
Not usually — it's done under local anaesthetic so the tooth is completely numb. Most patients say it feels much like having a filling.
How long does it take?
It varies from tooth to tooth. Simpler cases may be completed in one or two visits, while more complex teeth (especially molars) can need additional appointments. We'll give you a clearer idea once we've assessed the tooth.
Will I need a crown afterwards?
Back teeth almost always need a crown after root canal treatment to protect them from cracking. We'll discuss this at your consultation.
