Root Canal Treatment in Frisco
Save your natural tooth and relieve your pain — comfortably and effectively.
Root Canals Aren’t What They Used to Be
If you’ve been told you need a root canal, take a deep breath — modern root canal treatment is nothing like the stories you may have heard. At Stonelake Family Dentistry, we perform root canals that are comfortable, efficient, and focused on saving your natural tooth.
A root canal is needed when the soft tissue inside your tooth — called the pulp — becomes infected or inflamed, usually due to deep decay, a crack, or trauma. Without treatment, the infection can spread and lead to an abscess, severe pain, and eventual tooth loss.
If you’re experiencing tooth pain and need a root canal from a dentist in Frisco, we can often see you quickly and get you out of discomfort the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a root canal hurt?
No — in fact, the root canal relieves the pain you’re already feeling. We numb the area thoroughly, and most patients say the experience is similar to getting a filling.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals are completed in one visit lasting 60 to 90 minutes. Complex cases involving multiple canals may take slightly longer.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases, yes. A crown protects the treated tooth and restores its full strength. We’ll place a temporary crown the same day and schedule you for a permanent one.
What happens if I don’t get a root canal?
The infection will continue to spread, causing increased pain, abscess formation, and eventually tooth loss. A root canal is the best way to save the tooth and stop the infection.
