Root Canal Therapy in Los Angeles, CA
The root canal procedure typically requires one to two appointments, depending on the complexity of your case. During treatment, we carefully access the inner chamber of your tooth, known as the pulp, where infection or damage has occurred. Using specialized instruments and techniques, we thoroughly clean and disinfect the root canals, removing all infected tissue and bacteria. The space is then filled with a biocompatible material, which seals the canals to prevent reinfection. Most patients experience immediate relief from pain and sensitivity following the procedure, with full healing occurring over the following weeks.
Following your root canal treatment, you may experience mild discomfort for a few days, which can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Most patients return to their normal activities within 24-48 hours. To ensure the best outcome, we typically recommend placing a crown on the treated tooth to provide additional protection and restore full function. With proper oral hygiene and regular checkups, teeth that have undergone root canal therapy have an excellent success rate of over 95%. At Purity Endodontics, we provide detailed instructions for aftercare. We are available to address any questions or concerns during your recovery, ensuring your treated tooth serves you well for many years to come.
