Thanks to a highly experienced dentist, a supportive dental team, and leading-edge technology. Root canals at our Ocala dental office are efficient and stress-free.
What to Expect with Root Canal Treatment
First, we will ensure you’re settled comfortably in the dental chair. Then Dr. Sutton will numb the treatment area with strong local anesthesia for pain-free treatment.
When you’re completely numb, he will make a small hole in your tooth to access the infected pulp and remove it from inside your tooth. Next, he cleans, disinfects, and shapes the canals, fills them with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection, and seals the tooth.
Post-Treatment Recovery
After the procedure, it’s normal to experience some soreness in the area for a day or two. However, you can effectively manage this with over-the-counter pain medications. Our dental team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your proper healing and comfort.
Follow-Up and Long-Term Care
We will schedule a follow-up appointment about two weeks after your procedure. Dr. Sutton will check the tooth to ensure it’s healed properly and is fully functional and protected. Brushing and flossing diligently and maintaining regular dental checkups will help ensure the long-term success of your treatment.
