What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a treatment that removes inflamed or infected tissue from inside your tooth, cleans the tiny canals, and seals them to prevent reinfection. The goal is straightforward. Relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth.
You might need a root canal if you have lingering pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a deep cavity. In most cases, treatment is completed in one or two visits. If the tooth has multiple canals or a large infection, your dentist may place a medication and finish at a second appointment.
An endodontist is a dentist with advanced training in root canals, but many general dentists with extra endodontic training provide excellent results too. We’ll guide you to the right provider for your case and explain every step in clear, simple language.

Everything has gone smoothly since I first spoke to a representative. From the front desk to the medical professionals, the staff at Dental Algodones have been nice, easygoing and professional.
They picked me up from the border, the service was quick and efficient, and their prices are fair. I had a few root canals and several implants. They listened to what I wanted and have been very accommodating. Excellent!!
Hiram Iniguez
Highly recommend, came in for 2 root canals and crowns after a car accident and I am happy I found this place. After quoting at less than half the price after insurance in the US for both things, got both the procedure and crowns done within 24 hours which is amazing.
Dr got me through the root canals with no pain whatsoever and was done way quicker than I thought. Like I said recommended.
How a Root Canal works
A root canal follows a clear, step-by-step process designed to calm your tooth and protect it for the long term.
01 Exam and imaging
Digital X-rays or 3D CBCT to map canals and confirm diagnosis.
02 Comfort and isolation
Local anesthesia, then a rubber dam to keep the area dry and safe.
03 Cleaning and shaping
Remove the inflamed tissue, shape canals, and irrigate with disinfecting solutions.
04 Filling and sealing
Place biocompatible material inside the canals to block bacteria.
05 Final restoration
A permanent filling or a crown to restore strength and function.

Related Dental Treatments
A root canal often pairs with or is an alternative to a few related treatments. Here is how they fit together:
Dental Crowns
After a root canal, a crown often restores strength and seals the tooth from future bacteria. It covers the remaining structure and helps prevent cracks, especially in premolars and molars that take more bite force.
You choose shade and material to match your smile. With proper fit and bite adjustment, crowns feel natural and last many years. Think of it as the final step that protects your investment.

Core Build-Up and Post
If decay or fracture removed a lot of tooth structure, a core build-up rebuilds the inside of the tooth so a crown has a stable base. A small post may be placed inside a canal to help anchor the core. Placement is quick and painless because the tooth is already treated. This step improves retention and reduces the risk of future crown loosening.
From:
$95 USD
Apicoectomy
If a root canal or retreatment cannot fully clean a stubborn area near the root tip, a minor surgical option called an apicoectomy can be considered. The dentist gently lifts the gum, removes the infected tip, and seals the end of the root. Healing is usually straightforward with home care instructions. It is a targeted way to keep a tooth that would otherwise be lost.

FAQs
Does a root canal hurt today?
With modern anesthesia and careful technique, you should feel pressure but not pain during treatment. If you arrive with a hot tooth, numbing can take a little longer, and we will layer anesthesia until you are comfortable. After the visit, soreness is common for a day or two and responds well to the recommended pain reliever and a soft diet.
Do I always need a crown after a root canal?
Front teeth with small access openings may do well with a bonded filling. Premolars and molars usually benefit from a crown because they take more chewing force and are more prone to fracture. Your dentist will show you the amount of remaining tooth and explain why a crown is or is not recommended for long-term success.
How many visits will I need, and how long does it take?
Many cases finish in a single visit that lasts about one to two hours. Complex molars, severe infections, or retreatments may require a medicated dressing and a second visit to complete the sealing. If you are traveling, tell us your dates. We plan the schedule so you leave protected and comfortable.
Can you complete treatment in one day if I am traveling?
Often yes, especially for front teeth and straightforward premolars. Molars or retreatments may be safer as two visits. When needed, we place a protective temporary and set a quick follow-up. Your comfort and outcomes come first, so we will not rush steps that matter.
Is it safe to fly or drive home after the procedure?
It is generally fine to travel the same day after a routine root canal with local anesthesia. Avoid chewing on the treated side, follow the pain control plan, and keep your follow-up appointment if one is scheduled. If you received any sedative, arrange a ride and rest before travel.
What if the tooth is cracked or the infection is severe?
We will evaluate the crack’s depth with imaging and a careful bite test. Shallow cracks often do well after a root canal and crown, while deep vertical cracks may require extraction. Severe infections can be managed with cleaning, medication inside the tooth, and sometimes antibiotics. The goal is clear: resolve the infection and keep you comfortable while choosing the option with the best long-term prognosis.
