What to Expect
Your treatment journey is carefully planned to be clear, predictable, and stress-free. From diagnosis to follow-up, we are here to support your healing every step of the way.
Before your visit, our team will gather any helpful information from your referring dentist. Once you arrive and check in, we’ll take a 3D high-resolution scan of the area to get a clear view of your tooth and surrounding bone.
You’ll then meet with one of our endodontists, who will listen to your concerns, perform gentle diagnostic tests, and review the scan with you in detail. Based on what we find, we’ll explain your treatment options and create a personalized plan that best fits your needs.
Not every consultation leads to a root canal—sometimes, no treatment is necessary at all.
If you feel anxious about dental visits, we can also discuss medication options to help you feel calm and comfortable during your appointment.
To ensure your comfort, we’ll gently numb the area being treated. A small protective barrier called a rubber dam will be placed around your tooth to keep it clean and dry throughout the procedure.
Using advanced technology—including a dental microscope and laser-assisted instruments—we’ll carefully remove any infection and seal your tooth to promote healing.
You can relax during your visit with a cozy blanket, headphones, and, if needed, mild sedation medication to help you feel completely at ease.
Although root canals have a reputation for being painful, modern dental techniques and anesthesia make the procedure virtually painless. Most patients report little to no discomfort.
After treatment, we’ll take follow-up X-rays to confirm the tooth has been properly sealed. You can usually drive yourself home and return to work or normal activities the same day.
Before you leave, you’ll receive easy-to-follow post-treatment instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery. At Peak Endodontics, you’ll also receive your doctor’s personal cell phone number, so you can text directly anytime with questions or concerns.
It’s normal to experience mild sensitivity or slight swelling for a few days. Your endodontist will explain what to expect and how to care for your tooth as it heals. Be sure to follow all instructions and take any prescribed medications as directed.
To ensure long-term success, it’s very important to visit your dentist for the final restoration—usually a crown. Many root canals fail when this step is delayed, allowing bacteria to leak back into the tooth. Proper sealing by your dentist is essential for lasting results.
Most patients are able to resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
A follow-up appointment is usually recommended 6 months to 1 year after your root canal. During this visit, we’ll take a 3D X-ray scan to evaluate how the roots and surrounding bone are healing. This allows us to confirm that your tooth and tissues are recovering as expected and ensures the long-term success of your treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose an Endodontist?
Experience
Endodontists are dental specialists with an additional two or more years beyond dental school of specialized training in root canal therapy. The average Endodontist completes 25 root canal treatments a week, while a general dentist performs about two root canals a week.

Because they limit their practice solely to Endodontic treatment, Endodontist are efficient and precise. This equates to positive experiences and faster healing.
Availability
Most Endodontist offer tremendous flexibility in accommodating emergency cases, so delays in treatment are kept to a minimum and patients can be relieved of dental pain quickly.
Advanced Technology
Most Endodontists use state-of-the-art technology such as operating microscopes, digital imaging, ultrasonic instrumentation, and fiber optics to treat their patients quickly and comfortably.
Does Root canal treatment cause pain?
The perception of root canals being painful began decades ago but with modern technologies and anesthetics, root canal treatment today is no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed. In fact, a recent survey showed that patients who have experienced root canal treatment are six times more likely to describe it as “painless” than patients who have not had root canal treatment.
Most patients see their dentist or endodontist when they have a severe toothache. The toothache can be caused by damaged tissues in the tooth. Root canal treatment removes this damaged tissue from the tooth, thereby relieving the pain you feel.
Does Root canal treatment causes illness?
There is no valid, scientific evidence linking root canal-treated teeth and disease elsewhere in the body. A root canal is a safe and effective procedure. When a severe infection in a tooth requires endodontic treatment, that treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth.
- • The presence of bacteria in teeth and the mouth has been an accepted fact for many years. But the presence of bacteria does not constitute “infection” and is not necessarily a threat to a person’s health. Bacteria are present in the mouth and teeth at all times, even in teeth that have never had a cavity or other trauma. Research shows that the healthy immune system takes care of bacteria in a matter of minutes.
- • Tooth extraction is a traumatic procedure and is known to cause a significantly higher incidence of bacteria entering the bloodstream; endodontic treatment confined to the root canal system produces much less trauma and a much lower incidence and magnitude of bacteria entering the blood stream.
- • There is no adequate replacement for the natural tooth – it should be saved whenever possible. Root canal treatment, along with appropriate restoration, is a cost effective way to treat infected teeth because it is usually less expensive than extraction and placement of an implant. In most cases, endodontic treatment allows patients to keep their natural teeth for a lifetime.
Is a good alternative to root canal treatment pulling a tooth?
Nothing can completely replace your natural tooth. An artificial tooth can sometimes cause you to avoid certain foods. Keeping your own teeth is important so that you can continue to enjoy the wide variety of foods necessary to maintain the proper nutrient balance in your diet. If your dentist recommends extraction, ask whether root canal treatment is an option.
Endodontic treatment, along with appropriate restoration, is a cost-effective way to treat teeth with damaged pulp and is usually less expensive than extraction and placement of a bridge or an implant.
Endodontic treatment also has a very high success rate. Many root canal-treated teeth last a lifetime.
Placement of a bridge or an implant will require significantly more time in treatment and may result in further procedures to adjacent teeth and supporting tissues.
Millions of healthy endodontically treated teeth serve patients all over the world, years and years after treatment. Those healthy teeth are helping patients chew efficiently, maintain the natural appearance of their smiles and enhance their enjoyment of life. Through endodontic treatment, endodontists and dentists worldwide enable patients to keep their natural teeth for a lifetime.
