The basics

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal (endodontic treatment) is a dental procedure that removes inflamed or infected pulp from inside a tooth. The canal is carefully cleaned, disinfected, then filled and sealed. Root canal treatment eliminates bacteria from the infected root canal, prevents reinfection, and saves your natural tooth.

Inside your tooth, beneath the enamel and a hard layer called dentin, is a soft tissue called pulp — containing blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue that help the tooth develop. A fully developed tooth can survive without the pulp because it continues to be nourished by the surrounding tissue.

Modern root canal treatment is nothing like the old horror stories. It's very similar to a routine filling and can usually be completed in one or two appointments. You'll be back to smiling, biting, and chewing with ease in no time.

Why save the tooth

The Advantages of Root Canal Treatment

Efficient Chewing

Keeping your natural tooth preserves normal chewing function on both sides of your mouth.

Normal Bite Force

A saved natural tooth maintains normal biting force and sensation, unlike an extraction and replacement.

Natural Appearance

Your treated tooth looks and functions like your other natural teeth — no visible difference.

Protects Neighboring Teeth

Saving the tooth prevents excessive wear or strain being shifted onto surrounding teeth.

Know the signs

Do You Need a Root Canal?

Root canals are typically needed for a cracked tooth from injury, a deep cavity, or issues from a previous filling. Watch for these symptoms:

  • Severe pain while chewing or biting
  • A pimple-like bump on the gums
  • A chipped or cracked tooth
  • Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Swollen or tender gums
  • Deep decay or darkening near the tooth

Is a Root Canal Painful?

Since patients are given local anesthesia, a root canal isn't more painful than a routine filling or wisdom tooth removal. It's normal to feel a bit sore or numb after the procedure, and mild discomfort for a few days is common as the tooth settles.

How Long Is Recovery?

Most patients are numb for 2–4 hours following the procedure and can return to work or school directly afterward. We recommend avoiding food until numbness fully wears off, to prevent accidentally biting your cheek or tongue.

The process

What Happens During Root Canal Treatment

  1. Exam & Digital Imaging

    We diagnose the infected or inflamed pulp using digital and 3D imaging to confirm the tooth and canal structure.

  2. Anesthesia

    Local anesthesia numbs the tooth and surrounding area, so treatment feels similar to getting a routine filling.

  3. Cleaning & Disinfection

    Using rotary endodontic instruments, the infected pulp is removed and the canal is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

  4. Filling & Sealing

    The cleaned canal is filled and sealed to prevent reinfection and support the tooth's structure.

  5. Recovery & Follow-Up

    Numbness resolves in 2–4 hours. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, with full comfort restored within a few days.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canals in Miami

Call (305) 217-6453

How much does a root canal cost in Miami?

At Dr. G Dental Studio in Miami, root canal treatment starts at $980 for an anterior (front) tooth and $1,200 for a posterior (back) tooth. Pricing can vary based on the number of canals and the complexity of the infection, which your dentist will confirm at your exam.

Is a root canal painful?

No. Because local anesthesia is used, a root canal is no more painful than getting a routine filling. Most patients feel some soreness or numbness for a few days afterward, but the procedure itself relieves pain rather than causing it.

How do I know if I need a root canal?

Common signs you may need a root canal include severe pain while chewing or biting, a pimple on the gums, a chipped or cracked tooth, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, swollen or tender gums, and deep decay or darkening near the tooth. A dentist can confirm the diagnosis with an exam and X-ray.

How long does it take to recover from a root canal?

Numbness typically lasts 2 to 4 hours after a root canal. Most patients return to work or school the same day, though it's best to avoid eating until the numbness fully wears off to prevent accidentally biting your cheek or tongue.

How many appointments does a root canal take?

Most root canals are completed in one or two appointments, depending on the tooth's condition and the number of canals involved. Same-day appointments are available for patients experiencing acute pain.

What's the difference between an anterior and posterior root canal?

Anterior (front) teeth typically have a single root canal and are less complex to treat, priced at $980 at Dr. G Dental Studio. Posterior (back) teeth, like molars, usually have two to three canals and require more time to clean and seal, priced at $1,200.

Can a tooth be saved instead of needing a root canal?

Sometimes. During your exam, the dentist may determine the pulp isn't damaged enough to require treatment, in which case a filling or crown alone may resolve the issue. A root canal is only recommended when the internal pulp is infected or inflamed beyond recovery.

What happens if I don't get a root canal on an infected tooth?

Leaving an infected tooth untreated can allow the infection to spread to surrounding bone and tissue, increase pain, and eventually require extraction of the tooth. Root canal treatment removes the infection while preserving your natural tooth.

Does Dr. G Dental Studio offer same-day root canal appointments in Miami?

Yes. Dr. G Dental Studio offers same-day appointments for patients in pain, using digital imaging, 3D imaging, and rotary endodontic instruments to diagnose and treat the tooth efficiently.

Is Dr. G Dental Studio near Doral or Kendall?

Yes. Dr. G Dental Studio is located at 2500 SW 107th Ave #45, Miami, FL 33165, serving patients throughout Miami, Doral, Kendall, Coral Gables, Sweetwater, and Westchester for root canal and general dentistry.

Is a root canal considered surgery?

A root canal is a common in-office dental procedure, not surgery. Dr. Yordanka Gonzalez numbs the tooth, cleans out the infected or inflamed pulp, then seals it. Most patients feel similar to getting a filling. Root canals are $980 for front teeth and $1,200 for back teeth. Learn more from the AAE.

Can a root canal fail or go bad?

Most root canals succeed and last for many years, but a small number can fail if bacteria return, a crack develops, or the tooth is not restored well. A crown on a back tooth helps protect it. Signs of a problem include pain, swelling or a pimple on the gum. Call (305) 217-6453 if you notice any of these.

Does a root canal remove the nerve?

Yes. A root canal removes the inflamed or infected pulp, which includes the nerve and blood vessels inside the tooth. The tooth stays in place and keeps working normally because the surrounding tissues still support it. You will not feel hot or cold in that tooth afterward. Root canals are $980 for front teeth and $1,200 for back teeth.

How much does root canal retreatment cost?

Retreatment cost depends on the tooth and how complex the case is, so call (305) 217-6453 to ask for a quote. For reference, a first-time root canal at Dr G Dental Studio is $980 for front teeth and $1,200 for back teeth. We accept PPO insurance and work with four financing partners.

Common questions

More Root Canal Questions

A few more answers about crowns, insurance, payment and scheduling for root canal treatment in Miami.

Will I need a crown after my root canal?

Often, yes, especially on a back tooth. Molars and premolars take heavy chewing forces, and a crown helps protect a root-canal-treated tooth from cracking. A front tooth sometimes needs only a filling. Your dentist will recommend the right restoration after checking how much healthy tooth structure is left. At Dr. G Dental Studio, porcelain crowns are $1,200, and you'll know the full cost before treatment begins.

Does dental insurance help pay for a root canal?

Many PPO dental plans cover part of a root canal, but your benefits depend on your own policy. We accept PPO dental insurance plans, and our Patient Coordinator prepares and submits the insurance forms for you. A pre-treatment estimate from your insurer usually takes four to six weeks, so if you're in pain, ask us about treating the tooth first. Call (305) 217-6453 and we'll help you check your plan.

Can I pay for my root canal over time?

Yes. You can apply for financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Alphaeon Credit or Sunbit, and our online payment calculator estimates monthly payments on 0% promotional terms of 6, 12, 18 or 24 months. Approval, rates and terms are set by each lender. If you pay at the visit, we accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Apple Pay.

How long does a tooth last after a root canal?

A root-canal-treated tooth can last for many years, often a lifetime, when it is properly restored and cared for. The biggest factors are getting the final filling or crown placed promptly, brushing and flossing every day, and keeping up with regular checkups. A tooth left without its final restoration is more likely to break or get reinfected, so don't put off that last step.

Can I come in after work or on a Saturday for a root canal?

Yes. We're open until 7 pm on Tuesdays and from 9 am to 3 pm on Saturdays. Our full hours are Monday and Friday 9 am to 5 pm, Tuesday 9 am to 7 pm, Wednesday and Thursday 9 am to 4 pm, and Saturday 9 am to 3 pm. We're closed on Sunday. If you're in pain, call (305) 217-6453 early in the day and we'll try to see you the same day. Hablamos Español.
