Root Canals & Endodontics
Gentle Relief. Tooth-Saving Results.
When decay, trauma, or infection reaches the soft inner tissue of a tooth (called the pulp), root canal therapy becomes the best option to relieve pain and save the natural tooth. Despite its reputation, modern root canal treatment is safe, comfortable, and highly effective.
At our office, Dr. Bubernak provides endodontic care with a steady hand and a reassuring, gentle approach. Using advanced tools and local anesthetic, we carefully remove the damaged tissue, clean and seal the inside of the tooth, and restore it with a natural-looking crown. Most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure.
Saving your natural tooth preserves your bite, avoids shifting, and helps you chew comfortably for years to come. With proper care, a tooth treated with a root canal can last just as long as your healthy ones—without pain or further damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the procedure take?
Most root canals can be completed in a single visit, usually taking 60 to 90 minutes depending on the tooth and the severity of the infection. In some cases, a second visit may be needed to place the final crown or complete more complex treatment.
Will I need a crown after the root canal?
Yes, in most cases. After the infection is removed, the tooth can become more brittle over time. A crown helps restore full strength, protects the tooth from breaking, and allows you to bite and chew normally—just like before.
Is a root canal painful?
Not at all. Thanks to modern techniques and effective local anesthesia, a root canal today feels very similar to getting a standard filling. You’ll be completely numb during the procedure, and most patients feel only mild soreness afterward—nothing compared to the pain of an untreated infection.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
If you’re experiencing lingering pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a deep ache in one specific tooth, it could mean the pulp is inflamed or infected. The only way to be sure is to come in for an exam—we’ll check it out and let you know your best options.
