Root Canals

Root Canal Treatment

What are Root Canals?

Root canals are common dental procedures that involve removing the inner pulp of the tooth. A tooth that has become severely decayed or has broken to the point of exposing the pulp will need a root canal. The root canal not only works to eliminate pain and discomfort that you might be experiencing, but it can even be helpful in maintaining the structure of the actual tooth. The procedure is highly beneficial, and can be done in under an hour in our office.

Why are Root Canals needed?

Most often, a root canal is needed if a cavity has been ignored to the point of the decay reaching the pulp of the tooth. If a tooth has broken or cracked, it might expose the pulp, and result in the need for a root canal. When you need a root canal, the tooth in question will likely be painful, and sensitive to hot and cold liquids. An exam, as well as an x-ray, will help determine if you need a root canal.

Singla and staff are professional and do great work. Highly recommend them.

Who is a good candidate for Root Canals?

Most patients who have an infected or exposed pulp will need a root canal. The procedure is safe, effective and done within an hour in our office. To determine if a root canal is necessary, we will perform an exam and check your dental x-rays. You may be scheduled for a root canal if we find the pulp has become compromised.

Root Canal in Duncanville, TX

Here’s what to expect when you receive Root Canal treatment at our dental office: Local anesthetic is needed to numb the area around where the root canal will be done. The tooth will be separated from the rest of the mouth with a dental dam. Our doctor drills into the tooth to remove decay, exposing the actual pulp. The pulp is then removed, and the canals of the tooth are cleaned. The canals are filled with a special, medicated material, and the hole is replaced with filling material. Root canals normally take about an hour in our office to complete.

If you think you might need a root canal and would like to learn more about this procedure, call us today and we will answer all of your questions.

11/26/26: I was having severe tooth/jaw pain for the past few days to the point that I was unable to sleep last night. I did some googling and called Dr Singla’s office first thing in the morning and was able to get an appointment same day. Unfortunately I had to have a tooth extracted which took wayyyyy longer than usual, but the office was beautiful and clean, the entire staff was very friendly, very accommodating, very understanding, and I appreciated there was no judgment about my situation (at least not to my face lol). I appreciated the patience and persistence Dr Singla displayed with my situation. I needed a new dentist anyway and it looks like I found one.

I've been going to Singla Dental for many years, and every visit reinforces why it's my top choice for dental care. My most recent appointment was primarily for a cleaning, and Leslie did a wonderful job. This was my first time meeting her, but she immediately put me at ease by asking about any concerns I might have. She also clearly explained what she would be doing, both before starting and throughout the process. After the cleaning, I spoke with Dr. Singla about a separate issue I have been having with my mouth. He recommended a clear course of action, and his office even made the necessary calls to help get things started, which has been a tremendous help for me.

You are always a welcoming smile and interesting conversation when we see you! Ty for the continued support.

I can truly say I enjoyed getting my teeth cleaned today. Lesley, the Registered Dental Hygienists, was very meticulous and caring. I have been with this dental office for years and I loved Dr. Dunn. Dr. Singla has continued the caring practice with added technology and office ambiance that really makes you feel cared for and appreciated as a patient.
