What to Expect During Your Root Canal
Before recommending a root canal, Dr. Chase will carefully evaluate your tooth and review your X-rays with you in simple, easy-to-understand language. You will know what is happening, why it is needed, and what your options are so you can make informed decisions without pressure.
During the procedure, the inside of the tooth is gently cleaned and disinfected, then sealed to help prevent future infection. In many cases, a custom crown is recommended to strengthen the tooth. Thanks to our in-house dental lab and technology like Primescan, we can design and create crowns on-site, often on the same day you are treated. This means no messy impressions, no temporary crowns, and fewer visits overall.
Throughout the appointment, our team checks in with you, adjusts for your comfort, and makes sure you feel supported from start to finish.

FAQ
Root Canal Treatment FAQs
How do I know if I might need a root canal?
Common signs include tooth pain that does not go away, sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting or chewing, swelling, or a darkening of the tooth. The only way to know for sure is to be evaluated by a dentist, and Dr. Chase will walk you through what he sees and why he recommends a particular treatment.
Will a root canal hurt?
Root canal treatment is designed to relieve pain, not cause it. With modern techniques and anesthetic, most patients report feeling only mild pressure during the procedure. If you are anxious or have had difficult experiences in the past, sedation options are available to help you relax.
How long does a root canal take?
The length of a root canal visit can vary based on the tooth and the extent of the infection. Dr. Chase will give you a clear idea of what to expect for your specific case. Thanks to our in-house technology, any needed crown can often be completed in the same visit, saving you time.
Why do I need a crown after a root canal?
After a root canal, the tooth can be more fragile. A crown fits over the tooth like a protective cap, helping to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. With our in-house lab and Primescan technology, crowns can often be created and placed on the same day, so you leave with a strong, natural-looking result.
What happens if I delay a recommended root canal?
Friendly Smiles Center is not in network with dental insurance plans and does not accept Medicaid. We will gladly file your claim on your behalf to help maximize your available benefits. For affordable financing with fast approvals and available discounts, please see Payment Options & Policies.
Are there alternatives to a root canal?
If a tooth is too damaged or infected, removal may be the only alternative. In that case, options like implants, bridges, or dentures can replace the missing tooth. Whenever possible, Dr. Chase will recommend saving your natural tooth with a root canal because this typically provides the most natural feel and function.
Is a root canal covered by dental insurance?
Friendly Smiles Center is not in network with dental insurance plans and does not accept Medicaid. We will gladly file your claim on your behalf to help maximize your available benefits. For affordable financing with fast approvals and available discounts, please see Payment Options & Policies.
