Understanding that dental procedures can be anxiety-inducing for many, we offer sedation dentistry services. This approach ensures that even the most nervous patients can undergo root canal treatments without stress.

Types of Sedation Used in Dentistry:

1. Nitrous Oxide: Also known as “laughing gas,” provides mild sedation and relaxation.
2. Oral Sedation: A mild sedative pill taken before your visit to help you feel calmer.

Comprehensive Care Beyond Root Canals

Winchester Dental Studio is a full-service dental clinic providing a wide array of services, from routine cleaning to complex procedures.

Once the tooth has healed, a crown restores its strength and appearance. If you’d also like to change the look of other teeth, ask about whitening, bonding or Invisalign at the same visit.

The Importance of Follow-Up Care

Follow-up care helps your root canal treatment succeed. At your regular checkups, the dentist monitors the treated tooth and checks whether it needs a crown or other restoration.

What are the signs I need a root canal?

Common signs are pain when you bite, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the food or drink is gone, a swollen gum or a pimple near the tooth, and a tooth that has turned darker. Some infected teeth cause no pain at all and only show up on an X-ray.

Does a root canal hurt?

The tooth is numbed first, so most people feel pressure rather than pain during treatment. The tooth may be tender for a few days afterward, and over-the-counter pain relievers usually help. The infection is what hurts, and the root canal removes it.

How long does a root canal take?

Most root canals take one or two visits. Front teeth have fewer canals and are usually quicker than molars.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

Back teeth usually do. A tooth that has had a root canal is more brittle, and a dental crown protects it from cracking when you chew. Front teeth sometimes only need a filling.

Is a root canal better than pulling the tooth?

Keeping your natural tooth is usually the better choice. An extraction leaves a gap that should be filled with a dental implant or a bridge to stop nearby teeth from shifting, which costs more in the long run.

Do I need an endodontist for a root canal?

An endodontist is a dentist who focuses on root canal treatment. Many root canals are done by general dentists. Dr. Sobieh will examine your tooth and tell you whether it’s complex enough that a specialist is the better choice. Our guide to finding an endodontist in Winchester explains the difference.
