Will the treatment be painful?
We will take every measure to ensure that your procedure is in no way uncomfortable or painful. If treatment is needed, we will inject a small amount of anaesthetic to gently numb a concentrated area of your mouth. For most patients, the feeling of numbness usually subsides after 2-3 hours. We have developed techniques by using the enhanced vision of the microscope to make the injection almost imperceptible.
Will I need to return to your office for follow-ups after the procedure is finished?
Yes, for most root canal treatments, we recommend that patients return to the office 1 year after the procedure was finished. Our office will send a reminder notice to you when you are due for a recall appointment. There is no charge for this follow up appointment, we like to audit and follow up patient outcomes as much as possible to ensure we can continue to offer the most successful treatment possible.
Emergency Appointments
I am in pain. How soon can I get in to see you?
We do our best to accomodate emergency patients in a timely fashion. We reserve time everyday so that we can see emergency patients on a same day basis or at least the next business day. Dentists can use the online chat portal to see when we have availabilty, or of course contact reception.
