Save Your Natural Tooth Painlessly

The phrase “Root Canal” often scares people, but in reality, the procedure is what stops the pain, it doesn’t cause it. When a tooth is deeply infected due to decay or injury, a Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is the only way to save it from being extracted.

At Elysian Dental, we use Rotary Endodontics—an advanced technology that makes the process faster, quieter, and more precise. Under the expert care of Dr. Hari, most treatments are completed in a single sitting with zero discomfort.

Signs You Might Need an RCT

  • Severe Toothache: Especially while chewing or applying pressure.

  • Sensitivity: Prolonged pain to hot or cold foods, even after the heat/cold is removed.

  • Swelling: Tenderness or swelling in the nearby gums.

  • Discoloration: The tooth turning dark or grey.

  • Pimple on Gums: A small bump on the gums near the painful tooth.

  • Anesthesia: We numb the tooth completely so you feel absolutely nothing.

  • Cleaning: We access the center of the tooth and remove the infected pulp/nerve.

  • Shaping: Using flexible rotary files, we clean and shape the canals efficiently.

  • Filling: The empty canals are sealed with a biocompatible material (Gutta-Percha).

  • Restoration: The tooth is capped with a strong Zirconia Crown to protect it from breaking.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. With modern anesthesia, an RCT is no more painful than getting a regular filling. You are numb throughout the procedure.

After a root canal, the tooth becomes brittle because it no longer has a blood supply. A crown acts as a "helmet" to prevent the tooth from cracking when you chew.

You can, but saving your natural tooth is always better. Extraction leads to bone loss and shifting of other teeth. Replacing a missing tooth with an implant is also more expensive than saving it with an RCT.

Most single-sitting root canals take about 45 to 60 minutes.

You might feel mild tenderness for 1-2 days, which can be easily managed with over-the-counter painkillers.
