At Kennestone Dentist, we provide gentle, expert root canal care to stop the pain and save your natural tooth.

Understanding Root Canal?

Root canal therapy addresses infected or damaged tooth pulp. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels. Damage causes pain, sensitivity, and swelling.

Why Choose Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment aims to preserve your natural tooth, which is preferred over extraction. It maintains your natural smile and improves chewing comfort. Root canal treatment also saves money long-term versus implants or bridges.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

Several symptoms may indicate you need root canal treatment. These include lingering tooth pain, especially after hot or cold drinks. Pain when biting or chewing is another sign.

Swollen or tender gums near the tooth may indicate infection. A small, pimple-like bump on the gums is another potential sign. Tooth darkening suggests infection.

Sensitivity to temperature or pressure might mean root canal treatment. A cracked or chipped tooth increases infection risk. If you experience these, see your dentist or endodontist in Marietta, GA.

FAQs About Root Canals

Everything you need to know about the procedure, recovery, and what to expect.

No! With modern tools and local anesthetic, root canals are designed to be pain-free. Most patients say it feels similar to getting a filling. The goal is to stop the pain caused by the infection, so you actually feel relief during and after the procedure.

A root canal typically takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the complexity of the tooth. In most cases, it can be completed in just one appointment, but some cases may require a follow-up visit for a dental crown.

Yes! After the root canal, we’ll protect your tooth with a filling or a dental crown to restore its strength and function. Once the restoration is in place, your tooth will be as strong as your natural teeth, so you can chew and smile with confidence.

The cost of a root canal depends on the tooth being treated and whether a crown is needed. The good news is most PPO insurance plans cover a portion of the cost. For patients without insurance, we offer flexible payment plans and an in-house membership plan to make treatment more affordable.

If you ignore an infection in your tooth, it can spread to other parts of your mouth or even your body, leading to more pain, swelling, and complications.

You might also lose the tooth entirely, which can result in more expensive treatments like implants or bridges. A root canal helps you avoid these issues and keeps your smile intact.

With proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime. A dental crown helps protect the tooth from future damage, so you can maintain your smile for years to come.

Yes! A root canal is almost always the better option because it saves your natural tooth. Losing a tooth can lead to problems like difficulty chewing, shifting teeth, and the need for more expensive treatments like bridges or implants.

In most cases, yes. A dental crown protects the treated tooth from breaking and restores its full function, especially if the tooth is a molar or has significant damage.

It’s normal to feel some tenderness for a few days after the procedure, but over-the-counter pain relievers usually help. If the pain doesn’t improve after a week, give us a call to check in.
