What Is Root Canal Treatment?
A standard root canal at our clinics in Lafayette or Parker typically takes 30-60 minutes for a single-rooted tooth and up to 30 minutes - 2 hours for back teeth or molars depending on complexity. This ensures a thorough removal of infection causing bacteria. We use digital imaging and the most recent Wave-One endodontic systems often complete treatment faster and with fewer post-op issues. Same-day crown workflows can reduce total visits for you as well.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
03
Prevent Further Damage
Cleaning and sealing the tooth helps stop infection from spreading to surrounding teeth or gums.
01
Pain Relief
Root canals eliminate the infection and provide relief from persistent tooth pain.
02
Save Your Natural Tooth
Instead of removing the tooth, a root canal preserves your natural smile and bite.
04
Restore Function
Once treated and restored with a crown, your tooth can function just like any other.
What to Expect
During your root canal appointment, our experienced team will carefully numb the area to keep you comfortable. We’ll then create a small opening in the tooth to remove the infected pulp and thoroughly clean the canals. The tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection, and in most cases, a crown is placed to restore its full strength and function. The entire process is gentle, efficient, and designed to relieve pain while saving your natural tooth.
