Will the treatment be painful?
We understand that dental procedures can be stressful, so we make every effort to keep you comfortable. Before starting, we’ll gently numb the area with a small injection of local anesthetic. Most patients describe feeling only mild pressure, and our use of a microscope allows for precise, minimally noticeable injections. The numbness typically wears off after 2-3 hours, and we’re happy to discuss pain management options if you experience any discomfort afterward.
Will I need to return to your office for follow-ups after the procedure is finished?
Yes, we recommend a follow-up appointment about a year after your root canal to ensure the long-term success of the treatment. This check-up helps us monitor your recovery and catch any potential issues early. We’ll send you a reminder when it’s time for the recall appointment, and there’s no charge for this visit. Follow-ups are an important part of our commitment to delivering the best possible care and results.
Emergency Appointments
I am in pain. How soon can I get in to see you?
If you’re in pain, we’ll do everything we can to see you as quickly as possible. We reserve slots each day for emergencies, so same-day or next-business-day appointments are often available. You or your dentist can check availability using our online chat or by contacting reception directly. We understand how important timely care is for dental pain, and our goal is to address your emergency promptly
