Effective Root Canal Treatment in Duncan, OK

When a deep cavity, crack, or injury allows bacteria to reach the inside of a tooth, infection can develop quickly and cause significant pain. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, stops the spread of bacteria, and saves the natural tooth from needing to be extracted. Our goal is always to preserve your healthy tooth structure, and a root canal is one of the most effective ways to do so.

During the procedure, the damaged pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the space is sealed to prevent future infection. The tooth is then reinforced and restored so you can chew comfortably and maintain normal function. With modern techniques and advanced anesthesia, root canal therapy is far more comfortable than most people expect—typically feeling no more intense than getting a standard filling.

How do you know if you need root canal therapy?

You may need root canal treatment if you experience severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swollen gums or a darkened tooth. A dentist can confirm the need for a root canal operation with an exam and X-rays.

Are root canals painful?

Modern root canal procedures are performed with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable and pain-free. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the treatment, similar to getting a filling.

How long does a root canal procedure take?

A root canal treatment typically takes 60 to 90 minutes and may require one or two visits depending on the severity of the infection and the tooth’s condition.
