When to consider Root Canal Treatment
You may benefit from root canal treatment in Chembur if you notice:
- Severe tooth pain, especially at night
- Sensitivity to heat that lingers
- Swollen gum / face near the tooth
- Pimple-like bump on the gum (dental abscess)

- Pain when biting down

How the procedure works
-
Digital X-ray diagnosis
Low-radiation digital RVG shows the exact extent of infection and canal anatomy.
-
Numbing
Topical gel first, then local anaesthesia. You should feel pressure but no pain.
-
Access & cleaning
A tiny opening is made on top of the tooth. Rotary NiTi files clean and shape the canal — much faster than old manual files.
-
Disinfection
Sodium hypochlorite and EDTA flush every millimetre of the canal to kill bacteria.
-
Filling (obturation)
Biocompatible gutta-percha seals the canal permanently.
-
Crown
An RCT-treated tooth needs a crown to prevent fracture. Zirconia or PFM — done same-day in most cases.
Who is eligible?
- Deep decay reaching the nerve
- Tooth infection or abscess
- Severe sensitivity to hot / cold lasting minutes
- Trauma-cracked tooth with exposed pulp
- Previously failed root canal needing re-treatment
Aftercare & recovery
- Chew on the opposite side for 24–48 hours
- Avoid very hot or very cold food the first day
- Take prescribed antibiotics if given — complete the full course
- Brush and floss normally from day 2
- Return for the crown fitting within 2 weeks — untreated RCT tooth can fracture

Root Canal Treatment — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything patients in Chembur and Mumbai ask before their root canal treatment appointment.
No. Modern root canals are virtually painless thanks to effective local anaesthesia and rotary endodontics. Most patients rate the discomfort lower than a filling.
At Urban Smiles: Front tooth ₹4,500, premolar ₹5,500, molar ₹7,000. Crown extra (₹4,500–₹14,000 depending on material). Written quote before we start.
Yes — in about 80% of cases. Exceptions are severely infected teeth with active pus, which need a two-visit approach for better healing.
With a crown on top, 15–25 years or lifetime. Without a crown, the tooth is 5x more likely to fracture within 2 years.
The infection spreads. Worst case: tooth loss, jawbone infection, or cellulitis requiring hospitalisation. The tooth will not heal on its own.
Almost always yes. Saving your natural tooth is biomechanically superior to any replacement. Extraction + implant costs 3–4x more.
The tooth becomes brittle without its live nerve and blood supply. A crown protects it from chewing forces. Skipping the crown often means losing the tooth within 2 years.
A few hours — once the numbness wears off. Avoid chewing on that side until the permanent crown is fitted.
