FAQ
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common signs include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot and cold that lingers, swelling or tenderness in nearby gums, and darkening of the tooth. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, call us for an evaluation.
Are root canals painful?
Modern root canals are no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. The procedure actually relieves the pain caused by the infected tooth. We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to ensure your comfort.
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care and good oral hygiene, dental crowns typically last 10–15 years or longer. Regular dental checkups help extend their lifespan.
What are crowns made of?
Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or zirconia. We recommend tooth-colored materials for the most natural appearance, especially for visible teeth.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases, yes. A root canal removes the tooth's nerve and blood supply, which can make it more brittle over time. A crown protects the tooth and restores full function.
