How painful is a root canal?
Root canals are an excellent treatment option that's done for various reasons. The treatment isn't supposed to hurt; it's like a filling but takes a lot more time. In some cases however, a patient may have a "hot tooth"which means the tooth is so irritated and the patient is already in pain and the anesthetic isn't effective. In those cases, we usually end up prescribing medications and having the patient return later once they're feeling better so they can be numb during the root canal. It's common for a tooth to be sore after a root canal but it shouldn't be bad enough to keep you up at night. Always follow your dentist's advice and post-op instructions READ MORE
What type of crown is best on an implant?
It depends on the location of the implant and your bite. If it's a molar then generally zirconia with a titanium abutment is great. For teeth that show when you smile, a porcelain fused to zirconia crown may look more natural. Always follow your dentist's recommendation and don't let insurance price affect your decision!
