What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a restorative dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside your tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, and when it's damaged by deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe pain or lead to abscesses.
During root canal therapy, we:
- Numb the area for a pain-free experience
- Remove the damaged pulp and disinfect the canals
- Seal the tooth with a filling
- Place a dental crown (in most cases) to protect and restore function
At Noble Dentistry, we perform this procedure with precision and care, often in just one or two visits.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
You may need a root canal if you're experiencing:
- Persistent tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the stimulus is removed
- Swollen or tender gums around one tooth
- Discoloration or darkening of a tooth
- A pimple-like bump on the gum (possible abscess)
If you notice any of these signs, contact us right away. Early treatment can prevent further damage and help you avoid tooth loss.

Is a Root Canal Better Than Extraction?
In many cases, saving a natural tooth is the best option for your long-term oral health. A root canal allows you to:
- Maintain your natural bite and alignment
- Avoid the need for more invasive procedures like dental implants or bridges
- Keep your jawbone healthy and stimulated
- Save money in the long run by preventing further complications
However, in some cases, a severely damaged tooth may require Tooth Extraction. Our team will thoroughly evaluate your condition and explain your options clearly so you can make the right decision.
Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canals
Is a root canal painful?
No. Modern root canal treatment is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. We use effective local anesthetics and offer sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals can be completed in one visit, though some may require two if the infection is extensive. We’ll give you a personalized timeline during your consultation.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
Yes, in most cases. After the pulp is removed, the tooth can become brittle. A Dental Crown restores both function and appearance.
What happens if I don’t get a root canal?
Ignoring an infected tooth can lead to abscesses, bone loss, or the need for an extraction. The sooner we treat it, the better the outcome for your health and smile.
