What Happens During Root Canal Treatment — Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis & X-rays
10–15 minutesYour dentist will assess the tooth with an X-ray to confirm infection or damage to the pulp inside. This step confirms you actually need a root canal and rules out other issues.
- 2
Local anesthesia
5 minutesA numbing injection ensures you feel no pain during the procedure. The tooth and surrounding area are completely desensitized so you will only feel pressure, not pain.
- 3
Pulp removal & canal cleaning
30–60 minutes (depending on complexity)The dentist opens the tooth and carefully removes the infected or dead pulp tissue. Specialized instruments clean and shape the inside of each canal to remove all infection.
- 4
Canal filling
15–20 minutesOnce cleaned, the canals are filled with a biocompatible rubber-like material (gutta-percha) and sealed with adhesive cement to prevent future infection.
- 5
Temporary or permanent restoration
10 minutes (temp); crown fitted in follow-up visitA temporary filling closes the access hole. Later, you will return for a crown to fully protect the treated tooth — this is essential because root-canal-treated teeth are more brittle without a crown.
