Is root canal treatment painful?

No. With modern local anaesthetic solutions and computerised rotary files, a root canal is no more uncomfortable than having a regular filling. The treatment is designed to relieve severe tooth pain, not cause it.

Can a root canal be completed in a single sitting in Wadgaon Sheri?

Yes. In many cases where acute swelling or active pus discharge is absent, Dr. Sneha completes the entire cleaning, shaping, and sealing in one comfortable 45-to-60-minute visit, sparing you multiple appointments.

Why is a crown necessary after a root canal?

Removing the infected pulp stops blood supply to the tooth, making the remaining enamel brittle over time. A custom dental crown covers the entire biting surface, preventing the tooth from splitting under heavy chewing forces.

What is the success rate of a root canal procedure?

When performed with rotary endodontics, electronic apex locators, and timely crown placement, root canal therapy has a high clinical success rate, allowing your natural tooth to keep functioning for many years.

What happens at my first root canal appointment?

Dr. Sneha examines the tooth, takes a digital X-ray to see the roots and discusses your options. If a root canal is advised, the tooth is numbed, isolated with a rubber dam, cleaned and shaped with rotary instruments and sealed, often in a single sitting. A crown is then planned to protect the tooth.

Understanding the treatment

What is Root Canal Treatment?

When decay or injury infects the nerve, it causes throbbing pain, sensitivity and swelling. Root canal treatment clears the infection, disinfects the canals and seals the tooth so you can keep your natural tooth. At Dr. Sneha-The Dental Studio in Wadgaon Sheri, Pune, we welcome patients from Kharadi, Viman Nagar and Kalyani Nagar for gentle, pain-managed care.

Dr. Sneha Sardar (BDS) uses a rotary endodontic motor, an electronic apex locator, rubber dam isolation, digital X-rays and, where needed, a dental microscope, so many cases finish in a single sitting. A dental crown then protects the tooth. You can book a consultation if you have a toothache.

Why patients choose it

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Top benefit
Instant pain relief
Eliminates inflamed or necrotic nerve tissue, halting persistent throbbing pain at its source.
Preserves natural chewing mechanics
Retaining the natural tooth root avoids adjacent teeth shifting, bite collapse, and bone resorption.
Cost-effective long-term solution
Saving a natural tooth with a root canal and crown is significantly less invasive and costly than extraction and implant replacement.
Fast single-visit convenience
Modern rotary instrumentation allows most uncomplicated cases to be resolved in a single 45-to-60-minute appointment.

After your visit

Recovery & aftercare

Good aftercare protects your result. We'll give you personalised instructions after treatment; this is a general guide to what most patients can expect.

Recovery timeline

First 24 hours
Avoid chewing hard, sticky, or crunchy foods on the treated side until the permanent crown is placed; take prescribed analgesics on time.
Day 2–3
Mild tenderness around the ligament when tapping the tooth is normal and fades as tissue heals; brush gently around the area.
Within 1–2 weeks
Return for digital crown impressions and permanent crown cementation to prevent the dehydrated tooth from fracturing.

Aftercare tips

Never delay your protective crown; a root-canal-treated tooth becomes brittle and can split without full cuspal crown coverage
Chew on the opposite side of your mouth while the temporary filling is in place to avoid dislodging it
Maintain good oral hygiene with gentle flossing to keep the gum margins around the treated tooth clean and healthy

Call us if you notice

Rapidly increasing facial swelling spreading toward the cheek, eye, or lower jaw requires immediate attention
Persistent, severe pain that does not reduce after 48 hours of prescribed medication

Root canal treatment cost in Pune generally ranges from ₹4,500 to ₹8,500 depending on tooth position (front tooth vs. complex multi-rooted molar), degree of infection, and whether single-sitting rotary instrumentation is used. The protective crown is budgeted separately based on material choice (PFM or Zirconia).
