At Mecca Dental, Dr. Sulmaan Farooqui provides expert root canal therapy using advanced techniques and technology to save damaged or infected teeth. Our comfortable, modern office in Frisco ensures you receive gentle, effective treatment in a caring environment where your comfort is our priority.
Why Should I Get a Root Canal?
A root canal can save your natural tooth and relieve the pain caused by deep decay, infection, or trauma. Without treatment, the infection can worsen, leading to severe pain, abscess, and eventual tooth loss. Modern root canal procedures are virtually painless and significantly more comfortable than living with an infected tooth. By choosing to get a root canal, you're making a smart investment in your long-term oral health.

The Root Canal Treatment Process
Initial Examination and Diagnosis
Dr. Farooqui begins with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of damage and infection. We'll explain our findings and create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
Cleaning and Disinfection
Using local anesthesia to ensure your comfort, we carefully remove the infected pulp, clean the canal system, and disinfect the area. Our precise techniques and modern equipment make this process efficient and comfortable.
Final Restoration
Once the canals are cleaned and sealed, we protect your tooth with either a temporary or permanent filling. In most cases, we'll recommend a crown to provide long-term protection and restore full functionality to your tooth.
Most patients return to their normal activities the day after treatment. You may experience mild sensitivity for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Your tooth might feel slightly different from your other teeth for a few weeks as the healing process completes.
The cost varies depending on the complexity of the case and which tooth needs treatment. We accept most major insurance plans and offer flexible financing options to make treatment affordable. Our team will provide a detailed cost breakdown after your initial examination.
Most root canal procedures can be completed in 60-90 minutes. Complex cases might require two appointments. We'll provide a specific time estimate during your consultation based on your unique situation.
Modern root canal procedures are virtually painless thanks to advanced techniques and effective local anesthesia. Most patients report feeling no more discomfort than they would with a routine filling. In fact, a root canal relieves the pain caused by infection or damage.
