Root Canal Treatment in Andheri West
Root canal treatment removes inflamed or infected pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals them to preserve the natural tooth. It is recommended when deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental work has irreversibly damaged the pulp. Its core benefit is relieving infection-related pain while avoiding extraction.
At Assured Dental Care, Dr. Shreya Shah evaluates the dental pulp, roots, surrounding bone, remaining tooth structure, symptoms, and restorability before recommending treatment. The procedure, likely number of visits, final restoration, aftercare, alternatives, and estimated cost are explained before treatment begins.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also called endodontic treatment, is used to preserve a tooth when the soft tissue inside it—the dental pulp—has become irreversibly inflamed, infected, or non-vital. The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue that helped the tooth develop.
Why Does the Dental Pulp Become Damaged?
Common causes include:
- Deep tooth decay
- A cracked, chipped, or fractured tooth
- Dental trauma
- Repeated procedures on the same tooth
- Leakage beneath a defective filling or crown
- Severe wear that exposes deeper tooth tissue
- Infection entering through damaged tooth structure
These conditions can inflame or infect the pulp even when no obvious external fracture is visible.
Does Treatment Remove the Tooth?
No. The damaged tissue is removed from the inside of the tooth, but the natural crown and roots remain in the mouth. After sealing and restoration, the tooth can continue to support biting and chewing.
Is Treatment Always Possible?
Most teeth can be treated, but a tooth may not be restorable if it has a severe root fracture, inaccessible canals, inadequate bone support, or insufficient healthy structure for a durable restoration. Dr. Shah explains extraction or other alternatives when preserving the tooth is not predictable.
Is a Crown Always Required?
Not every treated tooth needs the same restoration. Molars, premolars, and teeth with extensive structural loss commonly require a crown or another cuspal-coverage restoration, while selected front teeth with sufficient healthy structure may be restored differently.
Assured Dental Care – Your Trusted Choice for Root Canal Treatment in Andheri West
Severe toothache does not automatically mean that endodontic treatment is necessary. At Assured Dental Care, Dr. Shreya Shah first determines whether the symptoms arise from pulp inflammation, infection, decay, a crack, gum disease, bite pressure, a defective restoration, or another condition.
Her assessment may include
- The location and pattern of pain
- Sensitivity to cold, heat, sweets, or pressure
- How long sensitivity continues after a trigger
- Swelling, pus, or a gum boil
- The depth of decay
- Existing fillings, crowns, or cracks
- Pulp-vitality and tenderness tests

FAQs Root Canal Near Me
Is a root canal painful?
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia before treatment, so sharp pain should not be felt during the procedure. You may notice pressure, vibration, or water while the canals are cleaned. Mild tenderness afterward can occur and should gradually improve.
How long does a root canal take?
A typical appointment lasts approximately 45–120 minutes, depending on the tooth and the number and complexity of its canals. Most cases require one or two appointments, although difficult infections or retreatment may need an additional visit. A separate appointment may be required for the permanent crown or other final restoration.
How much does a root canal cost in Andheri West?
Treatment commonly costs approximately ₹4,000–₹12,000 per tooth, depending on whether it is a front tooth, premolar, or molar and how complex its canals are. Calcified teeth, retreatment, and difficult infections may cost more. The final filling, core build-up, onlay, or crown is usually quoted separately.
Is a crown necessary after a root canal?
A crown or another cuspal-coverage restoration is commonly recommended for back teeth and teeth that have lost substantial structure. Selected front teeth with enough healthy tissue may be restored with a bonded filling or another conservative option. Dr. Shreya Shah recommends the restoration after assessing the tooth and bite.
Can I eat after the procedure?
Wait until the local anaesthesia has completely worn off so you do not bite your cheek, lip, or tongue. Choose softer foods and avoid hard or sticky items on the treated tooth, especially while it has a temporary filling. Follow the instructions provided for your final restoration.
How long can a treated tooth last?
A properly treated and restored tooth can remain functional for many years, and some last as long as other natural teeth. Longevity depends on the canal seal, final restoration, remaining tooth structure, bite forces, oral hygiene, gum health, and regular reviews. Reinfection, decay, cracks, or restoration failure can still occur.
Can infection return after a root canal?
Yes. Reinfection can occur if a restoration leaks, new decay develops, a crack forms, complex anatomy remains untreated, or the final restoration breaks down. Retreatment or endodontic surgery may sometimes preserve the tooth when symptoms or infection return.
