Why Get A Root Canal?

- The infected tooth is surrounded by a great deal of swelling
- Extreme temperature sensitivity
- The presence of infected or decaying matter in the tooth
With decades of experience on our side, we are able to identify dental health issues and help you to determine a treatment for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canals
Is a root canal painful?
With modern anesthesia techniques, root canal treatment is typically painless. You may experience some mild discomfort afterward, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long does a root canal procedure take?
The length of a root canal procedure varies depending on the complexity of the case. However, most root canals can be completed in one or two appointments.
Can I eat after a root canal?
It's best to avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the numbness wears off. Once the anesthesia has subsided, you can resume a normal diet.
How long does it take to recover from a root canal?
Most patients recover quickly from a root canal. Any discomfort should subside within a few days.
Can I get a dental implant after a root canal?
Yes, a dental implant can be placed after a root canal to replace a missing tooth.

"If you are in need of a GREAT dentist, try Drs. Werschky and Lewis!"I had a filling that came out. I was near the office and stopped in to see when I could get an appointment to get the tooth fixed. Sit down Rod and we’ll get you in shortly, was their reply. I was in the chair and getting my tooth fixed before I knew it. It was Monday and I know how Mondays are for anyone. I don’t and did not expect to get in so quick, but Drs Werschky and Lewis and the staff are so concerned about their patients I was not totally surprised. Thanks, If you are in need of a GREAT dentist, try Drs Werschky and Lewis!Rod A.

Much of the work was major, and the reason for each procedure was always explained so I could understand why it was necessary.
