Root Canal Treatment Centre
Save your natural tooth with painless, microscopic root canal treatment by Dr. (Mrs.) Priyanka Chaturvedi, MDS Endodontist & Aesthetic Dentist. Latest rotary endodontic technology for precise, comfortable, single-sitting procedures.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Saving your natural tooth — the best option for long-term oral health.
Root canal treatment (RCT) is a procedure to save a severely infected or damaged tooth. The infected pulp is removed, the root canals are cleaned and shaped, and the space is sealed to prevent re-infection.
Despite common fears, modern root canal treatment is virtually painless — performed under local anesthesia with advanced rotary endodontic systems and microscopic precision. At The Crown’s Root Canal Centre, Dr. (Mrs.) Priyanka Chaturvedi uses the latest nickel-titanium rotary files, electronic apex locators, and surgical operating microscopes for unparalleled accuracy. Many cases can be completed in a single sitting, saving you time and multiple visits.
Root canal treatment saves teeth that would otherwise require extraction, preserving your natural smile and preventing the cascade of problems that tooth loss creates — including bone loss, shifting of adjacent teeth, chewing difficulty, and the need for expensive replacements like implants or bridges. With a 90-95% success rate, RCT is one of the most predictable and successful procedures in dentistry. Celebrating 5 Years of Clinical Excellence, our Root Canal Centre has successfully completed over 3,000 root canal treatments with outstanding outcomes.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule a consultation promptly.
Causes of Pulp Infection
Understanding why root canal treatment may be needed.
The Root Canal Treatment Process
Eight precise steps — from diagnosis to complete restoration.
Diagnosis & X-ray
Clinical examination, periapical X-ray, and pulp vitality testing to confirm the need for RCT and assess canal anatomy.
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia administered for complete comfort. You will not feel pain during the procedure — only gentle pressure.
Access Opening
A small opening is made in the tooth crown to access the pulp chamber and root canals. Isolation with rubber dam ensures sterility.
Pulp Removal & Cleaning
Infected pulp tissue is removed. Canals are cleaned using nickel-titanium rotary files for efficient and thorough cleaning.
Shaping & Disinfection
Canals are precisely shaped to receive filling material. Irrigated with disinfecting solutions to eliminate all bacteria.
Obturation
Canals are filled with biocompatible gutta-percha material and sealed to prevent any future bacterial invasion or reinfection.
Restoration
Tooth is sealed with a permanent filling. A crown is strongly recommended to protect the treated tooth and restore full function.
Follow-up
X-ray verification to confirm successful treatment. Post-treatment check ensures healing is progressing as expected.
Types of Root Canal Treatment
Six specialized RCT procedures for different clinical situations.
Single-Sitting RCT
Eligible cases completed in one visit using advanced rotary endodontic systems. Saves time and multiple appointments.
Most PopularConventional RCT
Multi-visit treatment for complex cases. Allows medication placement between visits for optimal disinfection.
Multi-VisitMicroscopic RCT
Surgical operating microscope for complex cases. Enhanced visibility allows identification of hidden canals and precise treatment.
AdvancedRetreatment RCT
Fixing failed previous RCT. Old filling material removed, canals re-cleaned and re-sealed for a successful outcome.
SpecializedApicoectomy
Surgical root-end procedure for cases where conventional RCT is insufficient. Root tip removed and sealed surgically.
SurgicalPulpotomy
Partial pulp removal, common in pediatric cases. Preserves healthy pulp while removing infected coronal portion.
PediatricRoot Canal vs Extraction
Why saving your natural tooth is almost always the better choice.
| Aspect | Root Canal | Extraction |
|---|---|---|
| Tooth Preservation | Yes — saves natural tooth | No — tooth lost forever |
| Chewing Function | Normal | Reduced |
| Bone Health | Maintained | Bone Loss occurs |
| Adjacent Teeth | Protected | Shift / Drift |
| Appearance | Natural | Gap visible |
| Cost Long-term | Lower | Higher — need implant/bridge |
| Treatment Time | 1-2 visits | 1 visit + replacement time |
| Success Rate | 90-95% | N/A — tooth gone forever |
Recovery & Aftercare
What to expect after root canal treatment and how to care for your tooth.
Recovery Timeline
Numbness Period
Numbness for 2-3 hours from anesthesia. Avoid eating until numbness wears off. Mild sensitivity may begin.
Mild Discomfort
Mild discomfort or sensitivity, especially when biting. Manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. Soft diet recommended.
Complete Recovery
Full recovery from RCT procedure. Crown placement recommended to protect the treated tooth and restore full function.
Aftercare Instructions

- Maintain normal oral hygiene — brush and floss regularly
- Take prescribed medications as directed
- Avoid hard, sticky, or crunchy foods for 3-5 days
- Get crown placed promptly to protect the tooth

Root Canal Treatment FAQs
Answers to the most common questions about root canal treatment.
No, modern root canal treatment is virtually painless. It is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. After the anesthesia wears off, you may experience mild discomfort for 1-3 days, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Many cases can be completed in a single sitting using advanced rotary endodontic systems. Conventional RCT may require 2-3 visits. Complex cases involving severe infection or multiple canals may need more visits. Dr. Priyanka will advise the best approach for your case.
A single-sitting RCT typically takes 45-90 minutes depending on the tooth type and number of canals. Molar teeth with multiple canals take longer than front teeth. We use rotary endodontic technology for efficient, precise treatment.
Single-sitting RCT completes the entire root canal treatment in one visit. Using advanced nickel-titanium rotary files and electronic apex locators, Dr. Priyanka cleans, shapes, and seals the canals in a single appointment. Eligible cases benefit from this time-saving approach.
Yes, a crown is strongly recommended after root canal treatment. The tooth becomes more brittle after RCT and a crown protects it from fracture, restores full function, and prevents reinfection. We offer ceramic and zirconia crowns for natural-looking results.
With proper care and a protective crown, a root canal treated tooth can last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and avoiding excessive force on the tooth are key to longevity.
RCT has a 90-95% success rate. Failure can occur due to missed canals, incomplete cleaning, cracked roots, or reinfection. Failed RCT can often be treated with retreatment or apicoectomy. Dr. Priyanka uses microscopic precision to minimize failure risk.
Microscopic RCT uses a surgical operating microscope for enhanced visibility and precision. It allows identification of additional canals, precise cleaning, and accurate treatment of complex cases. This technology significantly improves success rates.
Yes, root canal treatment is almost always better than extraction. It saves your natural tooth, maintains bone health, preserves chewing function, prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, and is more cost-effective long-term than extraction followed by implant or bridge.
Yes, root canal treatment can be safely performed during pregnancy, preferably in the second trimester. We use pregnancy-safe anesthesia and take all necessary precautions. However, we recommend consulting with your obstetrician first. X-rays are minimized using digital imaging with lead shielding.
