A mild infection may need only one visit to complete the root canal therapy. Still, teeth that are awkwardly placed, or where the disease has spread to the tooth itself, may require several visits to ensure the infection is completely gone. After your procedure, a crown or filling will be used to restore your tooth.


When you get a root canal in Beverly Hills, the dentist will drill into your tooth with a specialized tool to help remove the infected tissue. This drill-like utensil removes and cleanses the infected pulp and other tissues, causing pain and sensitivity. While it may feel strange or uncomfortable, it will be over fairly quickly.



Fortunately, the material inside the tooth is unnecessary after you reach adulthood, so there is little risk of complications from removing the pulp. After the interior of your tooth is cleared of bacteria, infected tissue, and decay, you will either have a crown or filling placed to protect the tooth, depending on the size of the drill site.



During the entire process, your mouth will be numbed so that you will never feel anything beyond the dentist working. You may be given full sedation if the process is considered lengthier or more extensive than average. As with any treatment that Dr. Zadeh will offer sedation dentistry as well as other relaxation and anxiety-relieving options for the nervous patient.



After a little while, you will return for a checkup to ensure the infection has cleared out and everything is looking better. Then, you will be given a permanent crown if you have a temporary place.
