How a Root Canal Works
Scheduling Built for Urgent Pain
Urgent Openings
A tooth infection won’t clear up on its own, and the pain tends to build. We work to see patients with infections as soon as we can.
Evenings Too
Pain doesn’t stop when the workday ends. Tell us you need to come after 5 p.m. and we’ll do our best to fit you in.
Weekend Coverage
Infections can flare up on any day, so we offer weekend appointments for patients who need a root canal.
What a Root Canal Does for You
1
Ends the Pain at Its Source
Tooth infections can cause some of the worst pain in dentistry. Removing the infected tissue often brings relief soon after treatment.
2
Keeps Your Natural Tooth
A root canal lets you hold on to your own tooth instead of losing it, which protects your bite and may spare you from needing an implant or bridge.
3
Stops the Spread
An untreated infection can move into your jaw and nearby teeth, and in serious cases it becomes a health risk. Treating it early keeps it contained.
4
Often Costs Less in the Long Run
Saving a tooth with a root canal is frequently more affordable than extraction followed by an implant, which can become necessary if an infection is ignored for too long.

Windsor Park Root Canal FAQs
How can I tell if I need a root canal instead of a filling?
A filling works when decay is limited to the outer part of a tooth. If it has reached the inner pulp, the infected tissue has to be removed. Lingering sensitivity, pain that starts on its own, and swelling often point to a root canal. We’ll confirm with an exam and X-ray before recommending anything.
Does a root canal hurt?
Modern root canal treatment is meant to relieve pain, not cause it. We numb the area completely, so most patients feel pressure but not pain. Any soreness afterward is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter medication.
How long does it take, and will I need a crown?
Most root canals take about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the tooth and how severe the infection is. After the infected tissue is removed, a tooth can become brittle, so a crown is usually placed to protect it. That may require a follow-up visit.
What happens if I skip the root canal?
The infection can spread to the surrounding bone and tissue, form an abscess, and eventually cost you the tooth. In severe cases, a dental infection can turn into a serious medical emergency, so it’s best not to wait.
How much does an emergency root canal cost?
Cost depends on which tooth is involved and whether you need a crown afterward. Molars are usually more complex than front teeth. We offer a payment plan so you can get treated right away and pay over time.
