Frequently Asked Questions (Service FAQs)
Is root canal treatment painful?
No. Thanks to modern anesthesia techniques and our gentle approach, the procedure is very similar to getting a regular filling, and its main objective is precisely to eliminate the pain the patient is already feeling.
How long does the procedure take?
It is usually completed in a single visit, although depending on the complexity of the case, Dr. Ramirez may recommend a second session to ensure a perfect seal.
What precautions should I take afterwards?
It's normal to experience sensitivity for a few days. We recommend avoiding chewing very hard foods with that tooth until the final crown or restoration is placed.
Why is it better than an extraction?
It's always preferable to keep your natural tooth. An extraction can cause other teeth to shift and affect your bite, requiring more expensive treatments like bridges or implants.
Will I need a crown after the treatment?
In most cases, yes. Removing the internal tissue can make the tooth more fragile; the crown restores the strength and protection needed for normal chewing.
