Root canal treatment

Does a modern root canal treatment hurt?
With effective local anaesthesia and gentle rotary techniques, most patients find root canal treatment feels similar to having a routine filling. The treatment is designed to relieve pain caused by inflammation, not cause it.
Can root canal treatment be completed in a single visit?
In many uncomplicated cases it can be completed in one appointment of about 45–60 minutes. If there is significant infection at the root tip, Dr. Aniket may place a medicated dressing inside the canals and complete the seal at a short second visit.
Why is saving a natural tooth better than extracting and replacing it?
Your natural tooth root is cushioned by a ligament with sensory nerves that gives natural chewing feedback, and it helps maintain the surrounding jawbone. When a tooth can be saved predictably, that is usually the first option we discuss.
Is a crown always necessary after a root canal?
For back teeth (molars and premolars) that take heavy chewing loads, a crown is strongly recommended to protect against fracture. Front teeth with plenty of remaining structure can often be restored with a bonded ceramic restoration.

Dental implants

How long does dental implant treatment take?
After the implant is placed, the bone usually needs about 3 to 6 months to integrate with it before the final crown is fitted. The exact timeline depends on your bone and whether grafting is needed, and is explained at your consultation.
Open daily from 10:00 AM
