A root canal saves a tooth whose inner pulp is infected or badly inflamed. The infected tissue is removed, the canals are cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is then protected with a crown. At DRS Dental Hospital, root canals and the crowns that follow are done in the same clinic.
Examination and X-ray to confirm the diagnosis
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia
Infected pulp removed, canals cleaned and shaped
Canals filled and sealed
A crown placed to protect the tooth, often zirconia
Many root canals are finished in one or two visits, depending on the infection.
The tooth may feel tender for a few days. Most people go back to normal activities the same day.
The cost depends on the tooth and the type of crown. We explain the options and cost before treatment starts.
